Debate: Is there God?
Side: Yes

No but most things that are associated with spirituality, are in my opinion, superstitiousLike?a power that allows people (such as witches and wizards) to do impossible things by saying special words or performing special actionsSo, you think God is a person?Did I ever say god was necessarily magic?I thought you were implying it.So in other words try to logically justify god's existence... that's called confirmation bias...I usually call it wisdom... But I guess you could call it that. Would trying to logically justify God's non-existence be "confirmation bias", as well?Yes we have, we have observed intelligent beings evolve here on earth, produced from the earth, and from stars, which are unintelligent.Whoa, whoa, whoa... That is something you are going to have to back up. This is stuff we have actually observed?If you want to plant an apple tree, you take the seeds from an apple... Which grew from the tree. We grew from the Earth, but why could it not have been that intelligence was implied in that initial point, just as apples are implied in the seed? The apple seed grew into a tree before apples came out of it.To say that isn't an observance of intelligence coming from non-intelligence, is itself, merely an assumption that an intelligence had to be, behind the things that created us.No, it is a statement as to what we have observed. Would you have said that I had a bias towards the sun's light if I had claimed that all life needed sunlight to survive? No, until the 70's, that is what we had observed.Observing intelligent things coming from intelligent things and going "Ha, only intelligence can produce another intelligence" and then observing intelligence with no evidence of intelligence behind it, and saying "There has to be an intelligence really far back that implemented this" is confirmation bias, at it's finest.It is also observation at its finest. It can be falsified, though. Plus, I am not saying intelligence can only create intelligence as a fact, but as of now, that is all we have observed. Show me otherwise.How does this at all prove you point? Yes, things can be a product of intention, but there is no reason that you have supplied here that intention is necessary.I don't know why you keep bringing up the word "prove". I am not trying to prove anything. I am only offering up an idea. Saying things like "You just haven't found a reason" doesn't contribute anything, just highlight why I am not a believer.Oh, good grief, man! I am sorry that I am not convincing you, but we both know that you didn't come into this argument to be convinced. As that quote that Joe just posted said, when arguing, people tend not to listen to understand, they listen to reply. That is all I am getting from you. Even the stuff you agreed with, you have probably already forgotten.This would be the equivalent to me saying "You just haven't seen the flaws in your reasons in belief yet" or in translation, and I mean this with all due respect "I'm right, and you're wrong, and you just don't know how".No, it is as simple as saying, "Many people have found a reason to believe... But you haven't. You found reason to believe in something else."It was not a jab at you for being an atheist. It was just me pointing out that there are reasons to believe in "God"... You just haven't found one. Is that really all that offensive?If there is a reason to believe in god, don't just tell me there is, SHOW ME THAT REASON...What have I been doing this entire debate? I have been giving you several reasons and you keep coming back to this shit! If you don't agree, then so be it. I have found no reason to be an atheist, you have found no reason to be a theist... That does not mean I have not offered up ideas. If you don't agree with them, then fine.I am sorry that I can't find you a video of God coming down from the sky on a winged-horse with rainbows shooting out of it's ass.A suicidal person whom hates their lives wouldn't agree, or better yet, some of those whom were tortured in the holocaust wouldn't either.And are those not human faults? We as humans have the ability to make this world a fantastic place... But we don't. Our ego has gotten in the way.
