Resolved: God doesn't exist.

Well I would like to let the public know I am a Jehovahs Witness and I will be quoting the Bible form the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. Contention 1: The Natural World. "About 93 million miles [150 million km] from the sun, this orbit lies within a limited zone that is habitable because life neither freezes nor fries. Moreover, earth"s path is almost circular, keeping us roughly the same distance from the sun year-round.The sun, meanwhile, is the perfect "powerhouse." It is stable, it is the ideal size, and it emits just the right amount of energy. If you had to choose a "next-door neighbor" for the earth, you could not improve on the moon. Its diameter measures just over a quarter of that of the earth. Thus, when compared with other moons in our solar system, our moon is unusually large in relation to its host planet. Mere coincidence? It seems unlikely. For one thing, the moon is the principal cause of ocean tides, which play a vital role in earth"s ecology. The moon also contributes to the planet"s stable spin axis. Without its tailor-made moon, our planet would wobble like a spinning top, perhaps even tipping right over and turning on its side, as it were! The resulting climatic, tidal, and other changes would be catastrophic.Earth"s tilt of about 23.4 degrees causes the annual cycle of seasons, moderates temperatures, and allows for a wide range of climate zones. "Our planet"s tilt axis seems to be "just right,"" Also "just right" is the length of day and night, a result of earth"s spin. If the speed of rotation were substantially slower, the days would be longer and the side of the earth facing the sun would bake while the other side would freeze. Conversely, if the earth were to spin much faster, the days would be shorter, perhaps just a few hours long, and earth"s rapid spin would cause relentless gale-force winds and other harmful effects.Humans, with all their advanced technology, create countless tons of unrecyclable toxic waste annually. Yet, the earth recycles all its wastes perfectly, using ingenious chemical engineering. How do you think the earth"s recycling systems arose? "If the Earth"s ecosystem had truly evolved by chance alone, it wouldn"t possibly have been able to reach such a perfect level of environmental harmony," says religion and science writer M. A. Corey.5 Do you agree with his conclusion?" "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.6Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun." Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6 If God exists, then there wil be no suffering in the world. "When Satan led Adam and Eve into disobeying Jehovah, an important question was raised. Satan did not call into question Jehovah"s power. Even Satan knows that there is no limit to Jehovah"s power. Rather, Satan questioned Jehovah"s right to rule. By calling God a liar who withholds good from his subjects, Satan charged that Jehovah is a bad ruler." "How Jehovah handled the rebellion would greatly affect all those angels and eventually all intelligent creation. So, what has Jehovah done? He has allowed Satan to show how he would rule mankind. God has also allowed humans to govern themselves under Satan"s guidance." http://www.jw-media.org... http://www.jw.org...
