Debate: Does God exist?
Side: No

Have you read of seafood and shellfish allergy? Guess what kind of seafood causes those? Lobsters? Check. Mussels? Check. Crabs? Check. Now did you know that you can develop shellfish allergy during your adulthood? That's a very interesting point, because if God didn't warn the Israeli people against those foods, people would claim that an all-knowing God should know better.Which misses the point completely. Also an all-knowing god would make these animals hypo-allergic.So said the rebel teenager that demands his father to pay the fines for his crimes.Again missing the point.If it was mere consciousness, there would be a general agreement regarding this, since everyone is conscious, but since not everyone is religious, it is clear that it is something besides consciousness.Besides the fact that people as a group rarely agree on anything, consciousness and transcendental experiences are still under active research, and the situation is further exacerbated by religious people who take credit for a natural human ability. Here's the funny part: every religion has people who have these experiences, and all religions can't be true, as they contradict each other, so the experience must unrelated to religious beliefs.Surely you know you are making a strawman, right? An argument that have existed for almost a thousand years and is constantly being revised and criticized is not a stupid fallacy, or it would have been dropped long ago, instead of resisting for a millenia.The ontological argument was debunked a long time ago, as just another poor argument. The fallacy within it is obvious: you can't conceive something into existence or define it into existence. It is an a priori argument that attempts to define the greatest being, then expects it to exist in reality, with the crutch of it being that as far as reality is concerned, existence isn't any better or grander than nonexistence. That's just a human preference.The ontological argument does not rely on being 'great' but on being 'the greatest.' Again, I think you should study it a little more before jumping to conclusions.I really can't believe you're defending it. It shows how desperate you are to hold onto something so obviously wrong.And because it could be caused by biological processes, then it was? What's preventing Mars from being a completely lifeless planet and all the methane have been created through mud volcanoes?Did you not read his argument? He suggested life as a fair possibility.Also look at Gliese 581 d for an example of a planet which is in an earth-like zone.Actually, stuff can more or less be created out of thin air (from massless energy, actually) in a process called Pair Production, and the Universe cannot have existed forever because of the entropy. There is no know process by which entropy can be reduced, and an Universe that has existed since forever would have infinite entropy and would have long decaied into heat death.It's possible that whatever lead up to the big bang existed forever, and it's within the realm of speculation that our universe is cyclical. Bear in mind that the laws of our universe were formed very early in the big bang, which is why it's basically impossible to know anything beyond it. Asserting a god is just ignorance.Why? I mean, if I kill you, I get to have all that you have, for free. Why is it best if I don't kill you? I have to share food, water, women, and other resources with you.That does seem to be how religious people think, especially looking at war. In the real world you get punished for breaking rules. There isn't a god enforcing them, but man. We can examine animals to see how morality could evolve, because remember that we are social creatures and had to survive in tribes.Murder is defined in the dictionary as killing a person without a justified reason. Death Penalty is, in the mind of its supporters, justified by the crimes of the person.Yet it isn't justified according to the laws of a number of modern nations, meaning the supporters of the death penalty support murder according to those nations.Is your father accountable to you for not giving you a bicycle when you were ten years old?You're really good at missing the point.Of course, religion warps minds so I'm not surprised.Peer pressure.Illustrating my point exactly. Your sense of morality has been warped so that you cannot think for yourself but instead look to an authority. We sane people are much more moral than you could ever be.
