Humans Can be Good Without God

This is something at one time being a legitimate topic many are confused by and why there is proof of God can be summed up in a matter of evidence. I am a Christian as believing there is a God. Burden of Proof will easily be determined in this argument. As in every debate in College or even at the High School level we have to determine evidence. I myself at one time was not a Christian and believed in no God. I through research and study found the truth through evidence. Now it is time to debunk my opponents very well stated opening. The country of Sweden has God. .. They are actually one of the most religious countries in the world. According to a recent religious survey from the United Nations backed by the United States; More than 85 percent of this country follows a God of some sort. The Church of Sweden's members are a staggering 79.6 percent of the whole country. My opponent used a non reliable source for his argument. My link below will sum up any confusion. 1. . http://www.state.gov... (Swedish religion report backed by the U. N and U. S) copy and paste link. My second point is that I do have a God whose morals I try to follow as much as humanly possible. Jesus Christ is explained as this in the book of St. John Chapter One verse 14 - And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us(and we beheld his glory, the glory was of the only one begotten of the Father) Full of grace and truth. John was speaking here about Christ. Who became God in flesh. The evidence of my God who I worship in faith and truth is in EVIDENCE. Yes I have evidence historical facts of Christ. These are the ones from Non Judeo Christians. Pliny the Younger - "[The Christians] were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up" 112 AD Asia Minor The Caesar's accounts - Nero's personal documents and writings concerning Christ anywhere between 15 - 33 AD. Josephesus - "At this time there was a wise man who was called Jesus. And his conduct was good and he was known to be virtuous. And many people from among the Jews and other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. And those who had become his disciples did not abandon his discipleship. They reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive; accordingly, he was perhaps the messiah concerning whom the prophets have recounted wonders. " (37 AD) Cornelius Tacitus - "Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilate's, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular. " Julius Africanus - Stated in his third book of the histories that during Christ's crux fiction there was an eclipse. An eclipse not explained by any sciences at the given time. He explained that his document for this was Thallus 52 AD. The Talmud - This Jewish document even states that Christ was hanged on the cross after Passover 70 AD. Justin Martyr on the "Acts of Pontius Pilate" - "And the expression, 'They pierced my hands and my feet,' was used in reference to the nails of the cross which were fixed in His hands and feet. And after he was crucified, they cast lots upon His vesture, and they that crucified Him parted it among them. And that these things did happen you can ascertain the 'Acts' of Pontius Pilate. " Justin lists several healing miracles and asserts, "And that He did those things, you can learn from the Acts of Pontius Pilate. " All of these sources are simple to find. Go to a library and look up the works of these people they are all readily available to anyone that will look. I exerted some from The Harvard text book of Roman History as well as some from the original Roman Latin works. As well as that we can also look into the Greek texts and Aramaic texts of the New Testament. These are in the following college libraries. University of Michigan University of London University of Harvard University of Yale As well as Roman Catholic sources in the Vatican library. These were scientific men of The Roman Empire the Sanhedrin as well. These are non Christian sources besides the one of Justin the Martyr on the Acts of Pontius Pilate. The Acts was Lost in the crusades. Justin the Martyr was citing from the work of the Acts of Pontius Pilate. We can conclude that I have given the proof of burden stating my evidence for my God. Next in line is the studies of monkeys. This is totally biased on atheistic pre determined belief. The Cite that my opponent used (. http://www.str.org...) is from a Christian website debunking the claim. These studies have held no water at all. These are animalistic behaviors. As a dog and a bone is the same the dog is territorial over his possession. Traits as humans we characterize with ourselves are simply us as humans giving the animal emotion. An animal has nerves therefore it will feel an amount of pain. A dog will get jealous over food and an attention. So as humans we personalize this with ourselves; giving the animal human traits which are not there in the first place. The scientific method is flawed. There is no proof of besides that of human intellect where Atheism came from. Humans are the only creature to possess the power of free will. This statement is a proven fact. Even the greatest sciences had to believe in a greater power in order to understand man's science. Isaac Newton (1642-1727) "The most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion on an intelligent and powerful Being. " Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Never coming to belief in a personal God. In fact he did believe in an all knowing power. "I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details. " He also stated that "God does not play dice" There are many other quotes and figures of science stating the evidence that there has to be a God. I will leave this up to my opponent to find; I have found my belief through research. On his last statement in what universe does God himself not know right from wrong. This is the staple to facts that all religions are based on. The power of good and evil and the powers that dictate these. Science can never dictate human thoughts such as free will. The thoughts in a serial killers mind or a rapist mind. Science has no power over these things. In all religions God does dictate good and evil read any Bible or Torah. Read any Buddhist documents. Read the Quran we see that God does dictate power and does not even have to question himself. In this I conclude that the evidence is their for a God if we look. I stated my evidence and burden of proof. My sources are all from college manuscripts and one website. As it says in the Bible Christ stated that the truth will set you free. I find that this debate will be circular coming from an atheist. I also encourage you to look and not rely on false theories. Go to the history of the source. I will also state that God does exist he came to earth in the flesh and died for our sins. I pray you look unto the light. See that Christ himself was perfect and rose from the grave. Love others as you love yourself. Science is flawed by human hands. God is perfection
