Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Jesus was a man that walked the earth. everyone for 2010 years has agreed on that point. it is indisputable that he lived and walked and talked with people, who followed him, loved him, were disappointed by him, or killed him, but none who made him up themselves. his words and actions are recorded in various places including the gospels, which were written by the people who followed him wherever he went for 3 years, and separate, secular histories that concur with the bible on his humanity and existence.you may dispute his claims to deity, you may declare his words to be false, but you cannot deny his existence.we have created synthetic viral life: what of the rest of life, including ourselves?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

What? The Bible says Jesus existed? Oh I was lost but now I am found!By the way, the Gospels were not written by the apostles, but their assosciates, enthusiasts, or even people who weren't alive at the time.Oh my! An apostle's friend believes in Jesus? The revelations never stop round here.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Viruses are not actually living, because they cannot reproduce by themselves. They are really only bundles of DNA in a protein membrane that insert the DNA into other organisms so that the other organism will copy the DNA. I like the rest though...
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C. ClarkeAnything that resembles magic or a miracle doesn't automatically vindicate the existence of God. For most people, the existence of God gives meaning to a seamlessly pointless existence, therefore, religion is a drug. "Religion is the opiate of the masses' Karl MarxAnyone who believes in a traditional God is either an indoctrinated child, or a feeble-minded Cretin, incapable of logic or individual thought.I concur.------------------
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

So according to you ... advanced technology = magic... So God created the universe with advanced tech? That sounds pretty cool to me :)Anyways, the belief in God doesn't require anyone to subscribe to religion at all. But just for fun, let's discuss your calling believers feeble-minded Cretins: Since the belief in a God gives believers meaning to their lives, non-believers logically are living meaningless lives? That's kinda sad... sadder than the feeble-minded Cretins that believers are...
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

No, God didn't create the universe. The Big Bang created the universe. When you can present concrete scientific evidence that God does exist excluding for fake books and stories, there is no logical reason to believe until then, I will stick with evolution theory.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Stick with Evolution if you like, but just know that it's also not a concrete theory. Since you're asking for concrete scientific evidence, why do you believe in Evolution?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

You prove my point, 'belief in a God gives believers meaning to their lives'. If your only meaning in life comes from believing in what is essentially a fairy-tale, then you are the one living a meaningless life.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Neither Evolution nor Creation nor anything regarding the beginning is concrete. So believing in gods is no more a fairy tale than believing the universe magically appearing out of nothingness (aka evolution). Besides, meaning is meaning, even if it's a fairy tale. I'm sure you believe in something... even if it's not concrete... otherwise your life has less meaning than a child's (who's capable of more beliefs than most adults).
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Now you have show your ignorance. Evolution has no relation to 'the universe magically appearing out of nothingness'. Evolution is the theory that through genetic mutation over periods large amounts of time, life adapts to suit the environment it is in. An example: There are 20 monkeys living in a Jungle, and the only food available is a fruit encased in a hard shell. 10 of the monkeys have sharp teeth, the other 10 do not. The ten without the sharp teeth will starve, and the monkeys with the sharp teeth will not. The sharp teeth are a hereditary trait, so the species of monkey without sharp teeth will disappear, and the other species will not. In this way, animals become more complex. In our case, it was our intelligence that ensured we grew to dominate the world.You have confused this with the Big Bang theory. If you want me to explain that, please ask.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Try and stay on point if you can. Evolutionists don't believe in the existence of God, so I may have made a mistake in saying that the theory has to do with the "beginning", but we're essentially talking about God's existence, so read between the lines and come up with a rebuttal if you can. It makes for better reading than this crap. If I call you a dickhead, do i mean that you have a dick-shaped head or do I mean that your attitude and behavior resembles that of a belligerent ignorant fool? Read the meaning, not the words.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

I wish people like you read all the posts on a debate before making your points. None of what you said haven't already been said or argued against here.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

We're not at all powerful. We're just more mentally capable than other lifeforms on this planet.We've been creating life since we existed: childbirth using our bodies. Now we're just creating viruses using lab tools. We're capable of knowing all that our senses would allow. We're also capable of using reasoning and maths to deduce the existence of things we seemingly cannot sense.Btw, I dispute your claim that Man is imperfect.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

'We've been creating life since we existed: childbirth using our bodies.' Fusing two already present sex cells is completely different to creating life from inanimate chemicals. My point was that if we can create life from simple chemicals, then such chemical reactions can and have occurred naturally, meaning that a God is not needed for life to begin on its own. The only reason people believe in God is because they do not like being unable to explain their own existence. such a fear of the unknown is akin to a child's fear of the dark. I think, as a species, we need to grow up.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Check this out:‘Synthesizing life in a test-tube proves that it evolved.’ Now substitute the italicized words in that phrase with others of identical meaning, and the absurdity of it becomes clear: ‘Using intelligence to make life in a test-tube proves that it made itself and did not arise through intelligence.’I got that from this link:http://creation.com/creating-life-in-a-test-tube How can we "grow up"? As a species, we're still infants in our knowledge of the universe! You can stop being scared of the dark when you know for sure that there isn't anything lurking in the dark... but the point is you still don't know for sure! No theories about the beginning of the universe is concrete... So you can go ahead and grow up and when you've been there in the shadows and you didn't see anything, you can come back and tell me about it... then I'll be able to stop my silly beliefs...
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

With all of our human intelligence, we're still so very far from even being able to create a living single-celled organism... but one day we may reach that point... and that would have taken years of research and study and using human intelligence to copy a process that evolutionists says can happen all on its own, without intelligent design at all! absurdity maximally!... now compare a single living cell to the entire universe... are you getting the picture yet? I recommend you sign up with the Theistic Evolutionist mob.And no, we haven't created life from inanimate chemicals!!!A virus is not a life, check out the definition of virus, and then, check out how the process of creating the synthetic virus worked. They took bits of existing DNA strands, piece them together with other existing bits using chemicals, etc... If people can somehow create something from nothingness, then they'd still be using intelligence to design something, wouldn't they? It should bring them closer to God in that case.Evolutionists are just... stubborn...
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

So far from creating a single celled organism? What do you call a virus then? See, God-heads like you believe in fairy-tales and magic tricks, so I expect a certain level of scientific ignorance, but contradicting yourself in the same sentence? That's stupid even for a Christian. Actually no it's not, that's what all Christians do. And I am aware of the latent irony of that last statement.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Read the post properly and then rebut it so you don't look like an ass!"living single celled organism" living being the operative word. Go look up the definition of virus and see if it fits the category of "living".You're so enigmatic, EnigmaticMan! Do you even understand yourself? hahahahahaha
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Life does not mean intelligence. the scientific characteristics of living things are:MovementRespirationSensitivityFeedingExcreetionReproductionGrowthIrrefutably, all of these can be attributed to a virus. This is what happens when people who know nothing about science comment on science. Eventually you will start insulting your opponent, ( a la: You're so enigmatic, EnigmaticMan! Do you even understand yourself?) anyone who insults their opponent shows themself to be out of real arguments.To summarise my entire argument on this debate:I have seen Cells, which mutate naturally, in a process called evolution.I have seen the stars, which are not windows into heaven, but huge nuclear fusion reactors.I have seen electricity, which is not magic, but merely charged electrons.I have not seen God, of whom there is no evidence, merely insistance.Even if he does does exist, he is a mass murderer, and what kind of man would worship a murderer?Don't comment on my swastika, Just look at my past arguments and you'll find its explanation.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Well, since you know so much about science you should know that a virus is not a living organism. Sure some people think so, but those people can speak for themselves. Don't go around quoting all these characteristics and brand them irrefutable proof that virii are living organisms. The fact is it remains debatable whether viruses (or virii) are living organisms. Acceptable lifeforms use cell division to reproduce, virii on the other hand hi-jack living cells and use the cells' structure and metabolism to make copies of themselves, they self-assemble inside those cells. They can't survive outside of a cell. They're as alive as computer programs (which are just strings of instructions) working inside a computer.You're a perfect example of what happens when people go to school too long, it makes them think that they're better at debating than others just because they know some facts. Debating well requires you to possess the skill of reasoning, how to use those facts appropriately.Dishing out insults, then when you receive them you cry "mummy!", if insulting you shows that I'm running out of arguments, you insulting me and then crying "mummy!" when you receive it shows that you're a sook.I never said God murder people in mass. Is this some sort of "guilty until proven innocent" trial? Why would God care about the little microscopic beings that we are (compared with the universe) and what happens to us? God created the universe! God doesn't care if your mother doesn't give you pocket money to buy your favorite sticker!This debate has nothing to do with your swastika, you're free to represent yourself however you like, but I'm actually personally interested in why you choose that symbol? You can tell me if you want, it doesn't matter if you don't.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

OK,1. Have you read the Bible? Specifically Exodus. That inconvenient part where God kills every first son of Egypt? 2. Knowing 'some facts' is better than being armed with scripture.3. I did not cry 'mummy', I merely pointed out that insulting my avatar is not an argument. I have only insulted your beliefs, as I am expected to. I expect no less of you.4. Can we drop the virus thing, it no longer has any relevance to the debate, and if their life is debatable then neither of us will resolve the argument.5. I chose the Swastika because I am a political and Social Nazi. Why else?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

1 - Right, i've probably made myself abundantly clear now that I don't actual put all my money in the Bible bank. So you quoting the bible isn't of much use. I sometimes even want to agree with you about some of the things in the Bible.2 - I'm not backing God's existence purely based on Bible. 3 - I never commented on your swastika, so maybe you got me confused with someone else.4 - virus thing is dropped, you actually brought it up btw.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

1. So you made up your own religion and now you think its true. Made up things are called fiction, fiction is, by definition, fictional, and therefore untrue.2. Then what are you backing it with?3. By avatar, I meant my profile, and by extension, its name.4. Yes, but it's lost all relevance.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

1 - I didn't make up any religion. I just believe in God.2 - I'm backing my belief in God with the wonderful universe (i know it pisses people like you off when I say how the universe is wonderful and stuff) and the fact that it's completely void of chaos.3 - You said don't comment on my swastika, that's what you said. I never did. I made fun of your name, yes. So I'd like you to be more accurate next time you make an accusation.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

1 - Fair enough, but still a belief born of ignorance.2 - Actually, the universe is wonderful. However the existence of the universe does not prove the existence of God, merely the existence of the universe.3 - Actually, I mentioned it because I had written an argument condemning the christian God's mass murder, which would seem ironic to somebody who doesn't know the real reasons behind my swastika. It was a safeguard against anyone pointing out that apparent irony. I wasn't accusing you of anything.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

1 - Fair enough, but still a belief born of ignoranceNo, your view is ignorant. Your belief that God doesn't exist is unprovable, unimaginative and ignorant of the orderly universe around you. An ignorant view. I understand as much science as you and it brings me even closer to the belief that God exists.2 - matter could not have come from nothingness. So something must have made it. Then we have the laws and behaviors that govern how everything behave and interact. That something/someone is beyond matter and rules. Proof of God's existence.

No you are wrong man is not the only powerful being on earth the devil is the most powerful being on earth.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

dude, u put that cross up and you don't believe in god, u should be ashamed of ur self, are u even Cristian to put that cross?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

There is absolutely zero evidence in favor of the existence of gods. Just wishful thinking, unfounded conjecture, and people afraid of admitting they're going to die one day.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

I have just realized that this entire debate is pointless. Religious nuts ,a la- the opposition, closed their minds to rational thought the moment they believed the 'God Hypothesis'. The only time they will realize they are wrong is just as they die. After that who cares?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Religious nuts are more open-minded than those who just think everything appeared from nothingness. I mean at least religious nuts have an imagination! You on the other hand believe everything just materialized from NOTHINGNESS... that's how sad you are. It's just not possible.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

I don't like to put down a group of people needlessly, but when you wrote:"Religious nuts are more open-minded than those who just think everything appeared from nothingness. I mean at least religious nuts have an imagination! You on the other hand believe everything just materialized from NOTHINGNESS... that's how sad you are. It's just not possible."You made two statements that couldn't be more opposite if you tried.Firstly, religious people accept a faith. A faith is something that is accepted in spite of and contrary to evidence. If their religion teaches that the earth is shaped like a doughnut, then it is a required piece of dogma that the indoctrinated will believe. This is the definition of close-mindedness.Secondly, there is nothing the least bit close-minded which follows from being nonreligious. The nonreligious CAN be close-minded, but this is unrelated to it. Further, those who accept science are basically by definition NOT close-minded. This is because sciences refuses to hold on to wrong ideas.A final aside, it is both ironic and lamentable that you can't appreciate the maths behind the hypothesis which proposes our universe coming from nothing. The ironic part is that your beliefs about god posit that it created the universe, stars, planets, animals, waters... from nothing!
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Like the nonreligious, the religious CAN also be close-minded. But they don't have to be. Religious nuts like me are open-minded enough to actually believe in both science AND the fact that the universe was created by God from magic (Theistic Evolutionists).Maths proposing the universe coming from nothing? Whatever! It's impossible that something can come from nothing. If your definition of NOTHING is the same as our definition of GOD, then we're in agreement! And God created the universe by using magic. Don't know what that is? You can't, I can't, it's not within our limited ability. Let's just call it magic cos we just don't know.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

"Religious nuts like me are open-minded enough to actually believe in both science AND the fact that the universe was created by God from magic (Theistic Evolutionists)."That's by definition not open-mindedness. There is no positive evidence, and can never be, by definition, that god created the universe so to believe it despite objections is close-minded."Maths proposing the universe coming from nothing? Whatever! It's impossible that something can come from nothing."Quantum mechanics allows for matter to pop into existence in a vacuum. This is an observed phenomenon. The matter will also then pop out of existence, returning the system to a neutral state. In a flat universe, given a near-infinite amount of time, something as vastly improbable as an entire universe popping into existence as a super-compressed singularity will approach a probability of 1.This is my amateur understanding of a very abstruse subject."And God created the universe by using magic. Don't know what that is? You can't, I can't, it's not within our limited ability. Let's just call it magic cos we just don't know."This is known as special pleading. You just set a constraint in your position: matter cannot come from nothing, ever. You then violated your own premise. You are "pleading" that god is special, above your premise. This is a logical fallacy.Example:Squares are defined as having four equally long sides.I say that this five sided object is a square, because it's magical.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Open-mindednessBeing open-minded doesn't mean I have to accept your view. You can object to my belief all you want but until you can prove otherwise, you should actually join me.quantum mechanicsThanks, it was nice explanation, but I'm just gonna go ahead and wait for something better.special pleadingMatter can't come from nothing, so someone must have made us. Nothing confusing about that. That dude that made matter and all the rules for the creation of the universe, he's above and beyond matter and rules.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

"Being open-minded doesn't mean I have to accept your view. You can object to my belief all you want but until you can prove otherwise, you should actually join me."I never once said that my viewpoint is an intrinsic quality of open-mindedness. I said that by definition your beliefs and act of maintaining them in the face of contrary evidence is close-minded."Matter can't come from nothing, so someone must have made us. Nothing confusing about that. That dude that made matter and all the rules for the creation of the universe, he's above and beyond matter and rules."You're just going around in circles again.If you state an absolute like "matter cannot be created or destroyed" you must hold on to that premise in order to maintain logical consistency. If you try to invoke a negation of your premise like "magic man can create matter because he's above reality and stuff" then you just contradicted yourself and either one of your statements is incorrect. In that case either matter can be created and destroyed, or magic man can make matter, but not both.If you try to stipulate that only magic man can create matter, you must provide a theoretical framework for how this is possible. Otherwise you are not making an argument, but just asserting.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

I said that by definition your beliefs and act of maintaining them in the face of contrary evidence is close-mindedWell, you haven't got any evidence to the contrary my friend, otherwise I'd have switched sides by now :) The point of it is, there's no proof God doesn't exist.If you try to stipulate that only magic man can create matter, you must provide a theoretical framework for how this is possible. Otherwise you are not making an argument, but just asserting.Dude, I'm human, made of matter and bound by rules, I have all but 5 feeble senses and a brain sometimes capable of humor and a few other cool abilities. I can't possibly know how magic guy made all this stuff... if somehow I was able to speak to God directly, i'd probably be too busy asking for a few extra senses (like what I have no idea) and abilities (like the ability to heal quickly and perhaps if my skeleton could be swapped with titanium it'd be really cool)... fuhgeddabowdit!

"Well, you haven't got any evidence to the contrary my friend, otherwise I'd have switched sides by now :) The point of it is, there's no proof God doesn't exist."There doesn't need to be. For the same reason that one doesn't need to disprove leprechauns in order to invalidate them. The burden of proof rests upon you, the god-proposer. Besides the fact that your concept of god is incoherent."Dude, I'm human, made of matter and bound by rules, I have all but 5 feeble senses and a brain sometimes capable of humor and a few other cool abilities.

So in a debate entitled "Do horses exist?" You can just say that horses don't exist? That's how you can just win your debate? Wow, I wish I can be a hypocrite like you and be completely oblivious about it... ...your concept of god is incoherent.Your face is incoherent. I've linked God to matter and order.
