The Evidence Points to Atheism

I have found several holes in your reasoning, you said: “belief in nothing” – the stance of atheism. ”By saying you believe in nothing, you believe there is nothing. Therefore, you are claiming that there is in fact, no God, just pointing this out. This means that in order to win this debate, you have to prove to the audience that there is no God, I have to do the opposite. There are many acclaimed proofs that there is in fact a God, evidence points to it. While a theist doesn’t need these proofs for their own beliefs, there are some, like my opponent, that demand scientific proof. The fact is, this is no “proof,” that God does, or does not exist. There was no one around all those years ago to witness the big bang, or Genesis. So, and I feel my opponent would agree, we turn to whatever evidence we can find. If you look at what you are standing on, you will find your first evidence, the Earth. The Earth is perfect; it is just the right size. If it were smaller, we wouldn’t be able to sustain an atmosphere, much like Mercury. Any larger, and it would be like Jupiter, which contains free hydrogen. If the Earth were closer to the sun, we would all burn, if it would too far, we would freeze. The Earth’s temperature fluctuates just so that it can sustain life. [1]The evidence points to God. Liquids are the rarest forms of matter in the Universe. They have to exist in the exact right circumstances, even more so, water. If my opponent wishes to claim that the Big Bang just magically threw all of these perfect circumstances in, and we are able to survive, that is ridiculous, and I can’t imagine how a man who follows evidence would ever believe that it was luck that got us where we are. Sheer luck: It’s unreasonable, highly improbable, and very unlikely. [1]The evidence points to God. This brings us to the theory of intelligent design, or that a higher being created everything. The Principle of Sufficient Reason [2] shows us that all things that exist, in their own necessity, need a reason for their existence. The Law of Thermodynamics [3] shows us that energy and matter can’t be created, so how could the Big Bang explain anything? If energy and matter cannot be created, and the universe is finite (2nd Law of Thermodynamics) [3] there had to be another force in play. The evidence points to God. Meaning: What is intended to be; the end, purpose, or significance of something; the thing one intends to convey especially by language. [4]Meaning is not based on our understanding of something; meaning is a symbol, a message, if you will. The Bible is a message, it has a meaning. It has significance, Christ died on the cross for all of humanity, so that we may be saved from sin. The Bible has meaning; the Bible is the Christian word of God:The evidence points to God. “By classic Theistic reasoning, God is perfect, we are not. We can't understand ‘perfection’ because we are imperfect. In fact the Catholic Church actually said God is ‘incomprehensible’ and ‘ineffable’ ”Perfection is God because God told us he is perfect. “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know. ” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way? ” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. ” -John 4:16 Jesus said, “I am the truth. ” When you ask: what is the truth? He is your answer. He is perfection. The evidence points to God. "One cannot posit the existence of something if that something means nothing. The term itself, without referring to any specific concept or possible instantiation. ”This evidence is flawed. If God is omnipotent, and he is all-powerful, and he has influence over virtually anything, how do you apply any logic you know to proving his existence? You are given a definition that says God is all-powerful, therefore, he is not limited by any restrictive ideology you put on him. He is not limited to the human standard of existence. The evidence points to God. Thank You. [1] . http://www.everystudent.com...[2] . http://plato.stanford.edu...[3] . http://www.emc.maricopa.edu...[4] . http://www.merriam-webster.com...
