Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

I don't think that "anyone" created everything. That's the point. Why would I make such an assumption?
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

i believe in God because how can we explain why we even exist, how can we explain the scriptures, how can we explain why people are people, why would you deny that something if that something really doesn't exist
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

how can we explain why we even existThorough investigative inquiry is generally quite useful. "Why we even exist" is a pretty big question with lots of individual questions wrapped inside of it. A significant amount of these questions have already been well answered and are available for your perusal online, in libraries or any good college. Of course there are several questions left unanswered, but why just jump to a conclusion that was formed thousands of years ago by people with virtually no understanding of science? The thing is, we do exist, and we will continue to do so just fine without knowing the "why", or even if there is a "why". There is no race here. We doing things thoroughly and methodically and allow technology and other investigations pull it all together. There is no reason to give our sense of curiosity a false answer just because we are impatient. how can we explain the scripturesAgain, you have a broad topic here, but there are plenty of explanations. Be more specific, and I bet I have an answer to your question. how can we explain why people are peopleThe simple answer is because we aren't something else. Yet again, if you would like a specific answer, you need to ask a specific question. why would you deny that something if that something really doesn't existThe same way we deny unicorns, leprechauns, the X-Men, etc. It is actually very easy.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Science tells us to accept all possibilities and analyze each. Because it has never been ruled out as impossible, it must be left in the pool of the possible.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

You know you guys just because you dont see God doesnt mean he is there. Todays society you have to see to believe. We can feel God's presence. How? We sometimes feel like we are light headed and also we feel dizzy. Its faith that determines God exists. Stop bringing evoultion into this debate it had nothing to do with God. There are some flaws in evoultion. Jesus said to his disciples you have seen me and yet you believe but bless it are those who didnt see me and yet have believed. You guys are all angry about this situation and you dont want to know the Truth. Sorry guys but sometimes the truth hurts whether you like it or not. And the truth can set you free. You guys think that the Bible is a man made thing but actually Jesus told the people to write it through the Holy Spirit. In the Bible it also says that a fool one says in his heart that God doesnt exist.

You know you guys just because you dont see God doesnt mean he is there. Todays society you have to see to believeThen do you believe in unicorns, leprechauns, fairies, the Loch Ness monster? There is logic behind 'seeing is believing'.We can feel God's presence. How? We sometimes feel like we are light headed and also we feel dizzyHow is being light headed or dizzy God's presence? Dizziness can be caused by a mass amount of things to list a few: stress, low blood sugar, standing up to quickly, being on a round a bout.Its faith that determines God exists. Stop bringing evoultion into this debate it had nothing to do with God. There are some flaws in evoultion. Jesus said to his disciples you have seen me and yet you believe but bless it are those who didnt see me and yet have believedObviously an opposition argument is going to bring evolution to the table as evidence since it has more proven credibility than an higher being. There are flaws in religion too you know. You don't know Jesus said that. It's not proven.You guys are all angry about this situation and you dont want to know the Truth. Sorry guys but sometimes the truth hurts whether you like it or notThere is no evidence to suggest that Christianity or any other religion is the truth. It could be the truth but it's by no means definite. Perhaps the truth may hurt you when you die and there is no heaven. Or maybe you'll just cease to exist and will never find out.And the truth can set you free. You guys think that the Bible is a man made thing but actually Jesus told the people to write it through the Holy SpiritThere is no proof that Jesus told people to write the Bible especially through a supernatural entity. Regardless it is man made even if it is Jesus' word he is a man and made it and thus the Bible is man made. Even if it was Jesus' word there is no proof that Jesus' word is the truth.In the Bible it also says that a fool one says in his heart that God doesnt existWell it would say that, it still doesn't prove anything. If I wrote about the life and times of a giant rubber duck who traveled the world in a hot air balloon and said you'd be a fool not to believe it since it adds up historically would you think it was the ultimate truth?

You know you guys just because you dont see God doesnt mean he is there. Todays society you have to see to believe. We can feel God's presence. How? We sometimes feel like we are light headed and also we feel dizzy.If you are feeling light-headed and dizzy, that's not God it's severe dehydration. Although I can see how you might confuse the two.You guys are all angry about this situation and you dont want to know the Truth.You are not in a position to even know what "The Truth" is, nonetheless to dictate who desires it.We may only ever have a close approximation of truth. A semblance of truth. Anyone who claims to have "The truth" is nearly always full of shit. You guys think that the Bible is a man made thing but actually Jesus told the people to write it through the Holy Spirit.And those people who wrote the bible, did they happen to be men? If Jesus wanted people to write the bible, why didn't he write it himself? Am I to believe the son of God is illiterate?
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

"I think therefore I am." God exist in our minds and so he exists .
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

a) your quote and your statement are unrelated.b) God exist in our minds and so he exists .- If you've even heard of the Transformers or the X-Men, or leprechauns or tooth fairies, they exist in your mind. Do any of these things exist in reality? To the best of my knowledge, no
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Everything is related, it just takes one bright enough to know this. Who said anything about reality? The title just ask, if God exist. I said he does. I did not say on what level he exist. I do believe God exist.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

I philosophically and scientifically agree with you that all things are related, but that does not mean that two statements automatically support each other within the constraints of an argument, at least unless you provide some architecture to bind them. "I think therefore I am" refers to the fairly straightforward notion that if you can comprehend things, and comprehend that you comprehend things, well then, its fairly safe to assume that you exist. However, this doesn't mean that everything you comprehend also exists, it simply means that you, the one guaranteed existing entity you know of, has the capacity to conceive of things. As far as reality, if something truly exists, it is part of reality. Its pretty simple.

Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Exist: 2. To be manifest in any manner; to continue to be; as, great evils existed in his reign. [1913 Webster]To be manifest in any manner, this includes in one's mind. Isn't it about time you learned the English language?
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

Posting a similar definition, does not negate the definition I gave. You're implying that such a word does not mean X because it also means Y. Words have multiple ofter inter-related definitions. You are either ignorant of such a simple fact or you willfully ignore it.A question of existence is a question of actuality, thus your statement is nonsensical.

NOTE:What I am about to tell you is true. I did not copy and paste this off a website this is my speech. This is proof that God exists.Question: Why cant I see God? How Do we knw He is real? Answer:There are a number of things that we cant see yet,know theryre real. We know the the wind is real because we can feel it in our skin and see it blowing leaves off a tree. Because God is a Spirit, He's invisible ,but unless he chooses to reveal himself. In some way for some special occasion(look at theses examples God revealing himself in special ways in the Bible, Exodus 3:4-6 says When the Lord saw Moses take a closer God called to him from the middle bush "Moses!,Moses!" "Here I am!" Moses replied. verse 5: "Do not come any closer", the Lord warned. "Take off your sandals for you are on holy ground. verse 6: "For I am the God of Abraham,Issac,and Jacob.Matthew 3:16-17 says After his baptism as Jesus came out of the water,the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him. Verse 17: And a voice from Heaven said,"This is my dearly beloved Son, who brings me great joy.)Only a few people in history have met God in these ways. For the rest of us,there are ways we can "know" God exists even though we dont see him.First we know by faith that God exist the Bible says hes real. So people who believe in the Bible believe God is real. Hebrews 11:6 says And it is impossible to please God without faith.Anyone who wants to come to hom must believe that God exists and rewards those who seek him. Second, we know God exists because of the impact he has on our lives. Just like we know the wind is real because we can see what it does ,we know God is real because he changes our lives. He lets us know when we do wrong. He comforts us when we are sad. He answers our prayers and list goes on and on. Those who have faith know that God is real because he really is active in our lives.

Faith is belief not knowledge. I don't expect that I must explain the difference between knowledge and belief.The is no relationship between what is believed upon faith and what is actually true, none at all.Second, we know God exists because of the impact he has on our lives.Something mustn't be true to have an impact on people's lives. Deception can affect lives just as well as truth.Those who have faith know that God is real because he really is active in our lives.Is he? What events you attribute to divine intervention can just as easily be attributed to the normal occurrences of life.

Am I to take it Srom, that you believe downvoting is an alternative to an actual counter-argument? It isn't. This only tells me that your arguments are too weak to withstand critical thinking.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Question is all of the Bible true?Answer:Absoulutely! The Bible is the very Word of God and God cant lie. He cant make mistakes ethier. You and I might be tempted to lie sometimes ,but God never does. God is perfect,which means he never did anything wrong. He's given us the Word because he wants us to know the truth about some important stuff-like who he is,how muche he loves us,and how to get to heaven.Question: Who wrote the BibleAnswer: The Bible is inspired by God. He inspired Moses for example to write the first 5 books of the Bible. That means Moses was guided along so that he wrote exactly what God told him to write.

This will happen to athiets if they don believe in God. Hope you enjoy the Video! :D
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

You realize this video is a satire, correct? I must question the authenticity and sincerity of your beliefs. You are either very naive or a troll. Due to Poe's law I cannot determine which.Poe's Law: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Poe's_Law
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?

LOL. Are you serious? That was an atheist video. Its almost five minutes of calling God petty and irrational. Its not even that thinly disguised.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

I believe he exists :)I started to believe becasue of personal experiences in my life. At one point you really hit a certain rock bottom point when you're really forced to look at life, and think about it. Anyway, I DO believe in God, and nothing can really shake my belief in that. (Beliefs on other stuff like biblical interpretation of morals and stuff I'm still developing opinions of)
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

How about this: If God DOES exist, then he does and all these happy Christians can go to heaven and live with Jesus in peace and happiness forever, while those who don't believe in him will be sad. And if he doesn't then at least we Christians died happily thinking we were going to heaven, while those who don't believe will also be happy. --> if there is nothing else after our death then ah well for both.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

What if Judaism were correct, then would you go to hell for worshiping Jesus as a God?
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Then either way I would be going to hell for not being a Jew period :oBut at least I could say I tried instead of just sitting back and doing nothing.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

Not if you were a Jew. Should you not accept Judaism just to play it safe? If God knew you chose a religion on the basis of "playing it safe", do you think he would grant you admittance into heaven anyway? What about the thousands of other religions that could also be true? Choosing a religion because it has a desirable afterlife is indicative of shaky reasoning.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

If Judaism is the real religion, then I would go to hell. If Buddhism or Hinduisim is correct then I'll just come back again, and I'm sure I'll still be well off because. of trying to be good in 'this life'. If Islam is correct: I'm going to hell seeing as I'll be an infidel to them. If Janism is true, I'm sure I'll be fine as I'm a relatively peaceful soul in real life. If Bahai is true, I'm sure I'll be fine, and if Confucianism, Daoisim, and the like are correct I will still be fine.And XD I didn't say I choose the religion because of the afterlife: I'm asking why it matters in the end for people to argue about the beliefs being deemed wrong in their eyes.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

Precisely the point. We should not choose religion on basis of what might be true, or what afterlife a religion promises. What matters is what is most likely to be true. Argue on basis of evidence not on basis of speculation.

I believe he exist.Recently Stephen Hawking admits that there is a "ultimate being". There is no way to actually prove that he exist. People can only have faith.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

I thought Stephen Hawking claimed God definitely did not create the universe?Actually I'm right.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11161493There is no place for God in theories on the creation of the Universe, Professor Stephen Hawking has said
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

Hmm, interesting. Your post is from 2010. I am speaking of recently.LONDON (Reuters) -- God DIDcreate the universe, says the manwho is arguably one of the world'smost famous living scientists. Noted astrophysicist StephenHawkins now admits being a horse'sarse for writing a book, The GrandDesign, in which he emphaticallystated that God is a boogeymanwho does NOT exist. In i t, he had erroneously arguedthat the Big Bang, instead of occurring following the intervention ofa DivineBeing, was inevitable due to the lawof gravity. In his 1988 book, A Brief Historyof Time, Hawking had seemedto accept the role of God in thecreation of the universe. But inThe Grand Design, he stated thatnew theories showed a Creator is"not necessary."

I will believe god doesn’t exist when you guys can prove to me that we walked on the moon and the Holocaust really did take place…… MAKE ‘ME’ BELIEVE!!!.....it takes nothing to dismiss something as untrue....... it takes a lot to really believe in something..... it is very easy to not accept evidence..... just try me....
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

I can tell you didnt read the whole thing about what I said because you just skimed my argument and fixed the things that were wrong. What about the quotes of our founding fathers? They were serving the Christian God. That is how we became a nation so if you think God doesnt exist then you mine as well kiss the USA goodbye because thanks to Columbus we are here and our Founding Fathers too. If God didnt exist then we shouldnt have Christmas holiday to celebrate Jesus's Birth. We shouldnt have Easter if God didnt exist, or Thanksgiving if God didnt exist. Most of those holidays we celebrate today. So there is a God now please read carefully to what i had to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

I can tell you didnt read the whole thing about what I said because you just skimed my argument and fixed the things that were wrong.So then they were wrong, yes?I read your argument but rather than refute every detail, as there were quite a lot of them, I decided to argue your central point. You listed a number of contributions of Christians (some valid and some not) implying that such a list constituted evidence of God's existence. My point was that there is no relationship between how many positive contributions people make and how true their beliefs are. None whatsoever. What about the quotes of our founding fathers? They were serving the Christian God.Most of them, yes. Many of them also had slaves. The founding fathers were fallible. Their opinions on the existence of God were no more likely to be true than yours or mine.because thanks to Columbus we are here and our Founding Fathers too.Well, that certainly may be true, but what does it have to do with the existence of God? Are you insisting that because Columbus discovered the Americas (actually he didn't) that all of his beliefs must be true...or only the ones you agree with?If God didnt exist then we shouldnt have Christmas holiday to celebrate Jesus's Birth.Yes, and we shouldn't be celebrating St.Patrick's day if Saint Patrick didn't really drive the snakes out of Ireland by waving a wooden stick. Lots of holidays are based on fictional events. If you're placing your hope that people wouldn't be celebrating a holiday if the story about it wasn't true...then I hate to disappoint you. People like to celebrate, they don't care if the stories are true and that's assuming most people are smart enough to recognize a fictional story in the first place.Your arguments are terrible.
Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: yes

During Columbus's time Columbus read his Bible and found in the book of Isaiah where it says that the world was round and so he went out on a voyage and found the the New World. And if God didnt exist then the discovery of the new world would not be here today if thats the case. So that proves that God exists

The bible says the earth is circular, not spherical.Isaiah 40:22"It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in"http://www.3dhifi.com/pics/earth_s.jpgMatthew 4:8"Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;"^Which is impossible with a spherical earth------------As a side note: Leif Ericson, a viking explorer, discovered North America nearly 400 years before Christopher Columbus.

Side: yes

I am done with this debate because who know how long this debate might last but I did my part and all you athiests do is reject my stuff and say we dont know he did and that. And you try to brain wash me with false teachings but I am not going to fall for those stuff you say. In the Bible its says ignore the false teachers(you athiests) I will pray for each and everyone of you to know God and believe in God. If you still dont accept him then you are going to a place of suffering and you will not like it thats what i am trying to do is save you from going to hell. But you reject it so there is no point of saying any stuff anymore. Enough said IM DONE! Jesus will decide where your going to go but looks like most of you athiests are going to hell while im in Heaven.

We Evolved from a single cell organism to this stage, before that all i can say is i don't know yet. More research is needed to answer this question. Now with that said it doesn't mean if we don't know an answer to a question it is just to make up stories and fabricate your own groundless answers.
