It is reasonable to believe that God doesn't exist

Counter Arguments Old Testament "So when my opponent asks me to prove that none of the Old Testaments events happened, he knows that I can't." My opponent said himself that he cannot prove what he stated, therefore his statement remains invalid. "God didn't create the Universe in 6 days, 6000 years ago" In the English version, the Bible dates the creation consecutively from the first day to seventh day all occurring one after another. However if one reads the Hebrews Bible, one can clearly see that there is no such dating. As a matter of fact from the beginning it states the time gap from the creation of Heavens to Earth. The Hebrew Bible starts out by stating "In the begging God created the Heavens a long pause, then the earth" See the difference already? God did not create the Heavens or universe and the earth right after, but rather created the Earth after a long period of time. In God's eyes what is considered a day can be considered a billion year to us, therefore God could have created the earth in six billions years or 4.7 billion years. "The entire Earth wasn't populated by Adam and Eve: We know the effect inbreeding has." My opponent is absolutely right, and the Bible does not state that as well. It only states that Adam and Eve were the first not the only ones on earth. "Noah didn't load 2 of every animal on to a ship: It would take a hundred life-times to find two of every creature on the entire Earth, then you'd have the same inbreeding problem that the Adam and Eve story has." Noah did not have to search for the animals for they have come to him. Just because one inbreeds that does not mean sudden deaths, it just means more chances of deformities and mutation. According to Evolution we, mammals all came from the same ancestor. That means we are all related, which means we have inbreeded for billions of years. Jonah could have survived inside giant fish/whale: Yeah, he would have been asphyxiated in minutes and dissolved by internal bacteria and stomach acids. According to the Bible Jonah was inside the giant fish's mouth not in the stomach. This is an evidence of a miracle that God can perform and completely irrelevant. "Yes, you need an open mind to believe obvious fiction." Again I ask my opponent to prove this for me. The New Testament ""If one wants to find out more about scientific evidence proving God, there are plenty of modern books out there to prove so." No, there really aren't. If one such book existed the world would be very different. The fact remains that Creationists mutilate some scientific theories to suit their knowledge-repressing agendas but generally just completely ignore Science, saying it's "too one-sided"(SIC). " It is really ironic how my opponent states that creation science is completely one sided without even daring to read a simple site I have requested that he read. For one thing I believe my opponent is too one sided and request to have an open mind. Nevertheless whatever his opinions are, it does not change the fact that there are many books out there supporting creationism. If my opponent asks I will site the sources to him. Argument from Morality ""The Bible never states that morals are objective in the world. In God's eyes there is only one right and wrong. " Yes, that's what Objective means, friend." No this is not what objective means. Definition of Objective: undistorted by emotion or personal bias (source: Google) "Why should I allow my family to suffer and die because preventing their suffering by killing some maniac might be a sin? " That maniac also has a family and also had people who care about him. To kill him would be just lowering one's self down to his level. That is why there is prison and a law system. Violence is always not the answer. "Several times in your rebuttal you talk about "what God wants", "the power of God", "the eyes of God" and so on. This leads me back to my Scripture point. You're getting your information from an ancient source, written before the Dark ages." This does not mean it is inaccurate. As I has stated above the Bible supports science and as my opponent states, it is one of the oldest books out there. If that is true then it proves that God does exist since modern science supports the Bible. "The Biblical canons vary massively between domination's." I am not sure massively but I agree it varies, but all denominations agree of Jesus' resurrection. That is all that it matters. After that it is just about tastes. "You can't even prove God exists, let alone have any idea of what he wants." I can prove that God exists and if my opponent is willing to debate about it I would be happy to. I ask my opponent to look at my TAG argument if he is so interested. We cannot get the whole picture of God because He is too complicated but we can have an idea of what he wants by reading the Bible and later on in prayer. Argument from Ignorance " "Until science can disprove that life and universe did not get created, the argument that God had created the Universe and life on earth remains valid." If you allow for varying levels of validity, I suppose this is true." I ask my opponent to elaborate on his statement; how does the level of validity vary? " Why was the teaching of "Intelligent Design" banned from schools for being Creationism in disguise?" Schools want diversity and do not want to force religion upon the kids. I too agree with this. It should be totally dependent on the kids to decide. This does not prove that Intelligent Design is false, it only proves intelligent design was such compelling evidence for Creationism that the school banned it fearing that more would be converted to an idea of God. "Evolution is a prove theory." Evolution is a supported theory. "In 150 years not a single shred of evidence has emerged to disprove it. Here we can see unquestionable proof of micro-evolution. The only difference between micro-evolution and macro-evolution is time. We know the Earth is billions of years old. What's the problem?" http://mall.turnpike.net... http://www.allaboutcreation.org... http://www.changinglivesonline.org... There are just as many evidence against evolution as there is. "No, Evolution says that it is by "natural selection" that we are the way we are." Isn't natural just a cooler way of saying luck? Out of the millions of species out there we are the youngest. Yet we have the smartest creatures and rule the planet. If the earth's beginning time to modern day was on a clock, we came in at the last 30seconds. Then how come other species out in the planet, who had much more time than us, not evolve the capacity of this intelligence? It sounds like luck to me. Well creation calls the natural selector or luck God. " In order to say something was created one must have a comparison." We cannot say that the Universe of Spores is the same as our universe because it is less complex than our universe for various reasons. When comparing Mount Rushmore to the Mountains they are equally complex so they can see whether it was really nature or created. "What is your argument? Intelligent Design? Creationism? These arguments have been repeatedly proven false." Then I ask my opponent to provide these proofs. "You can't take what already exists and start making calculations on the odds of it spontaneously generating and say "it's a kabillion to one, therefore it isn't true." I never stated this theory at all and is irrelevant. However then I would like to ask how they became into existence. "The fact remains, I'm not arguing from ignorance and you are. I admit that I don't know; you claim you know that God did it." Since my opponent admits that he does not know, then he should not know whether God did it or not, therefore making it not reasonable to believe that God does not exists, since there is still the possibility. I am running out of space so this is it for now. Thanks for reading. :)
