Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

I don't understand why people are hell bent on believing that science and religion cannot ever agree. I will not vouch for all religions, but I know that they can definitely coexist. And, for those who argue that the more you study science the less you believe, I would like to raise them the words of Albert Einstein:It is true that convictions can best be supported with experience and clear thinking. On this point one must agree unreservedly with the extreme rationalist. The weak point of his conception is, however, this, that those convictions which are necessary and determinant for our conduct and judgments cannot be found solely along this solid scientific way. For the scientific method can teach us nothing else beyond how facts are related to, and conditioned by, each other. The aspiration toward such objective knowledge belongs to the highest of which man is capable, and you will certainly not suspect me of wishing to belittle the achievements and the heroic efforts of man in this sphere. Yet it is equally clear that knowledge of what it is does not open the door directly to what should be. One can have the clearest and most complete knowledge of what is, and yet not be able to deduct from that what should be the goal of our human aspirations. Objective knowledge provides us with powerful instruments for the achievements of certain ends, but the ultimate goal itself and the longing to reach it must come from another source. And it is hardly necessary to argue for the view that our existence and our activity acquire meaning only by the setting up of such a goal and of corresponding values. The knowledge of truth as such is wonderful, but it is so little capable of acting as a guide that it cannot prove even the justification and the value of the aspiration toward that very knowledge of truth. Here we face, therefore, the limits of the purely rational conception of our existence.

Side: Yes!!

if you need to believe in someone who will trust you and always be by you side at all times you should choose god.you should choose to believe in what you believe in not what everybody else believes in.i believe in god and nobody can change what i believe in.and they shouldnt be able to change what you believe in.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

The reason why I am Christian is because I am born into the environment and because I believe in him. I don't want to discard the fact that my parents had said they had a vision of God. I'm pretty sure that they aren't lying
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

Yes, of course . You merely use your senses to determine that you can see, hear, feel, smell, taste and you have emotions as well. All of this is a part of your existence. But this is not how we perceive God in Islam and in other religions. We can look to the things that He has created and the way that He cares for things and sustains us, to know that there is no doubt of His existence.Think about this the next time that you are looking up at the moon or the stars on a clear night; could you drop a drinking glass on the sidewalk and expect that it would hit the ground and on impact it would not shatter, but it would divide up into little small drinking glasses, with iced tea in them? Of course not.And then consider if a tornado came through a junkyard and tore through the old cars; would it leave behind a nice new Mercedes with the engine running and no parts left around? Naturally not.Can a fast food restaurant operate itself without any people there? That's crazy for anyone to even think about.After considering all of the above, how could we look to the universe above us through a telescope or observe the molecules in a microscope and then think that all of this came about as a result of a "big bang" or some "accident?"
Debate: Do you believe in God?

yes because without God you wouldn't be here and wouldn't have the wonderful things we have today. GOD IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!

How do you know God(s) exist?
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

I choose to believe in God which made me completely unafraid of dying so there is something to look forward to after death, but there are always possibilities that he is not and it is all just a fictional story that has been passed down through generations and has been twisted a bit like chinese whispers. I don't think that people should devote their lives to him because he would want you to live your life freely like i don't believe in like not cutting your hair and wearing a headscarf etc because he made you that way so everyone can see your beauty - not to cover it up. So you shouldn't devote your life to a myth or legend which may or may not be true. The bigger argument would be: God or Science?

Of course I believe in God! I'm a Lutheran who goes to church every Sunday and is currently in confirmation class. How Christian can you get?
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

I have grown up believing there is only one God. I have read most of the Bible, but I am also a college student who is very interested in the sciences. Still God seemslike the only logical answer.

Side: No!!

Hold the phone, logical? Could you explain, please?The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

"God" is not an acceptable answer for everything. It's drawing a line in the sand and saying that you need to have faith to cross. The Bible doesn't do an adequate job of explaining things either. There's hardly any part of the Bible that isn't contradicted by some other part. If a math book told us that 1 + 1 = 2 on one page and then three pages later said that 1 + 1 = 3, would we use that book? Would you build bridges or fly planes based on what we learned from that book? If a medical book told us on page 5 that the heart pumps blood through the body and then on page 205 said that the liver did that, would you want a surgeon operating on you to use that book as his guide? Yet we are told that we are entrusting our "eternal souls" to the teachings of the Bible. If we fail to properly comprehend this contradictory useless old book, we risk being punished in Hell forever. Because "God" loves us so much.I have friends who are very smart who say that they believe what they find in the Bible and it always amazes me. Even without explaining things scientifically, anyone who actually reads the Bible with open eyes and more importantly. an open mind, can't help but walk away knowing that the Bible is just a book. It's a collection of roman a clef fables that have no relationship to the real world.If the Bible is really our "instruction manual", everything should be taken as writ and God, in the words of Lewis Black, is a prick.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: the bible is a moral compass

The bible was created for a guide on the ways in which to conduct your life, like a moral compass. It was not made as a "shipping building guide" or anything else that includes step by step craftsmanship. If you had a higher view of God you would understand why God can't be with us for eternity. God is perfect! That means he has done everything ever out of love. Not lust, greed, manipulation, or hatered, but purely out of love. I challenge you to try and do things for other people today and see how hard it is to do.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

A moral compass? Have you READ the Bible? Try reading through Genesis and Exodus and see exactly HOW moral it is (Examples of Biblical Immorality: Innkeeper letting his daughters get raped instead of sending out the Angels, genocide that's ordered by God, infanticide that's committed by God)
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

What a pile of ridiculousness. The bible was not created all at once, and it's many authors definitely didn't have just one intention. All that God is perfect love talk is just utter white noise. I doubt you even understand what you said. You certainly didn't make a point.People do not need God or religion to do good things for others. And NO, it is not that hard to do good things for others. Your admission of that proves you need to coaxed by religion to do those good things.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

While I agree that the idea f the bible as a moral compass is far more palatable than as a specific description of real-life events, I think it should be noted that people can be good without the Bible, and people can also be terrible within Biblical law.I'm not a Christian, and I still know what is right and what is wrong. Do not hurt others- do not steal, violate, kill, etc. I don't need a Bible to guide my actions, and yet my actions are still those of a good person.

Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

Dear Sir, With all due respects. The question was Do you believe in God? and not "Do you believe in the BIBLE that it is the TRUTH?"Thanks you for your valuable inputs though. However, get your facts right before writing vitriol. I suggest if you pls read the bible once with 'open eyes' and more importantly with a 'open mind', you will understand that actually there is no word that contradicts.God Bless you. (needless to say i believe in GOD)
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: YES!!

I love all the people who voted down on here, although you are RIGHT that the question isn't whether or not eh Bible is true. Just shows how peopel will be ignorant when they see something they don't want to hear.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

....one of the seven deadly sins is greed.Why do you worship God? Obviously not because you "love" him, it's that you want a paradise in the afterlife (or you want it after the "rapture' (rapture means rape in old french...have fun)). If God does exist and GAVE you this life, would'nt it be greedy to ask for anymore than that???CONTRADICTION!!!The second you agree to this religion and let it into you're life, you've already broke one of the MAJOR rules.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

I love how i'm reading a serious answer and in the middle of it, " rapture means rape in old french... have fun". This is my ideal reasoning. To have an answer both serious, yet comical.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

Yet another example of a person being led blindly by faith. See above reasons why there are contradiction abound.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

Talk about "You guys can keep arguing the same baseless points", as another poster pointed out. Rolling out the old "bible full of contradictions" line, which is such an easy statement to make, hard to show though.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

Hard to show? I'm assuming you've actually read the Bible. Try looking at even just the first two chapters of Genesis. The first chapter tells one version of how the world was created and then the second chapter starts over with a different version. In the first version, God creates plants, then animals, then man and woman. In the second version, God creates man first, then plants, and then animals so that man would not be alone. God creates woman last as a mate for man. The "bible full of contradictions" line IS an easy statement to make because it IS easy to show.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

Here is a list of 398 contradictions in the Bible:http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/by_name.html (Grrr... this site keeps adding a space after the "http://" and another one before "contra". I reported the bug. You'll have to take the extra spaces out manually for now I guess.)
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

Please check your sources. It's way too easy to say the bible contradicts itself when you don't read each passage in context.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

No, you please check your sources. A few of those aren't correct, true, but the overwhelming majority are.Genesis 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.Genesis 25:1-2 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. So how many sons was it? There is no taking out of context here, just a contradiction.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

Are you serious? Is that your best shot? Do you see why throwing out there "so many contradictions" is so overused, and silly? Gen 22 happened BEFORE Gen 25. At the time of Gen 22, Abraham had only Isaac (BTW, in light of God's promise to Abraham about building a nation, He did not consider Ishmael his son). Then in Gen 25, Abraham got another wife and more kids. I mean, no offense, but if you call that reading comprehension, or reading in context, you have much to learn my young padwan. I can't believe this must even be explained. And someone voted it up.

Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

If that's all the Bible is - a mere collection of ancient writings - then you still haven't proven or disproven God; all you've done is slam a book people consider to be the writings of God. If the writings do amount to nothing more than man's handiwork (and chances are likely that they are), then all you've really proven is that God was not behind the Bible at all. If God wasn't behind the Bible, that doesn't mean he couldn't be behind something else - this is God, after all. Now, suppose there was no Bible. Could you still find some way to downplay the potential existence of a deity? Or is the "contradictory useless old book" too critical, too precious to your argument?
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

Indeed a deity could exist however, it is more probable that a 400 kilometre on a side cube composed entirely of Ikea 'Leksvik' bedside cabinets is embedded in the crusty surface of Saturn's moon Dione.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

True, chances are unlikely, but the chance is there; those who believe could be just as wrong as those who don't. The problem is that such a far-fetched notion has pervaded society for generations. With that timespan comes the continual tweaking of the notion to be potentially true - instead of simply dismissing a viable God as a childhood imaginary friend, people have crafted the workings of exactly how and why a God could exist.The method of attack should not focus on the Bible - it's very easy to discredit pieces of literature and, as shown by the American atheist movement, it is highly overdone. It should focus on the doctrines of the faith itself - predestination, heaven and hell, sin, the miracle of Jesus - everything. Deconstructing the notion of God should encompass the major aspects of God; focusing on the scrawls of ancients instead of the beliefs themselves amounts to child's play. For people who think the Bible nothing more than rubbish, they certainly hang on to it as much as the believers do. If someone could deconstruct the Catechism, THEN I'd be impressed.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Yes!!

Forget about the bible, the claim is 'god exists'. Like any other claim, it requires evidence to be taken seriously. It has no evidence. It is taken seriously. The former isn't going to change. The latter is changing because of the former. Childhood indoctrination is lessening, technology is giving more people the time and security to think their way out of the dead end that is religion. It's simply doomed.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: Believe in the Bible

First of all, I would like to see where specifically the bible contradicts itself. I've never found a place. When you study the bible, when you really study it, and don't take one phrase out of context, you find that each one harmonizes with the other. Some people look at one verse, and try to make a whole sermon on the subject, or say "see the bible is contradicting itself."When, in fact, what you're really doing is taking one piece of the puzzle and trying to make a picture; that's going to give you the wrong info every time. God says "Seek and you shall find,if YOU SEEK WITH ALL YOUR HEART." Many people don't search for answers with all of their heart. God doesn't just put the information you want out there; you have to want to find the answers. If God just put the answers right there for you to find, then it wouldn't be valueable to you. What do dad's always want you to learn? The value of a dollar. If he gives it to you, you have no concept of how much work it took to get that dollar, so the son spends as if nothing, but if he had to work for it, he appreciates it more then if it was handed to him. Don't make a case on a verse that may seem to go against what the bible is saying, instead, compare it with more verses on the same topic, and you will see that that verse wasn't contradicting, but rather adding more to the answer. Remember a puzzle needs many pieces to be complete, so you can see the full picture, and not just one piece and then you try imagining what it is. if the bible was a book of fairy tales, it wouldn't be the most printed book ever, it wouldn't change millions of lives, and Jesus wouldn't have said that he was the word. It is like no other book, because God himself made, and inspired all the bible writers. God doesn't contradict himself.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

Bible defenders remind me of contract lawyers. You can read anything you want into any document if you do the necessary mental gymnastics. "God doesn't just put the information you want out there; you have to want to find the answers."This could be rephrased as, "In order to understand the Bible, you must exhibit a confirmation bias.""if the bible was a book of fairy tales, it wouldn't be the most printed book ever, it wouldn't change millions of lives"False. These facts could simply indicate that it's a very compelling book of fairy tales.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

I almost forgot the best one. What were Jesus' last words? You would think that might be important to get right, but out of the 4 gospels - Jesus has 3 different last words.Matthew 27:46 -About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" - which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Mark 15:34 -And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" - which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Luke 23:46 -Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. John 19:30 -When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

Meaning that if you want to, it can mean anything you want to. There are no hidden meanings in the bible. If anything most people have no understanding of the bible because they don't understand the historical context when each of the books were written. Like how there is no record of Hebrew slaves in Egypt, but we know the old testament was first solidified in Babylon when they were slaves there. To say the bible is "written by God" immediately discredits you in any real discussion about the bible due to your own ignorance.

Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: YES!!

Unfortunately citing science as a contradiction to religion makes very little sense. The core methodology of religion is based in faith, which is the antithesis of science. Science is defined as a qualitative reasoning of logical, sensed phenomenon as experienced in a controlled environment. God, by definition, does not exist in a sense that allows for experimentation in a controlled environment. I'd have to say that your argument also has a few holes in it. I don't want to go with an ad ignorantum, but can you DISPROVE the existence of some sort of creator?I might also add that the elimination of some sort of religious deity is a useless endeavor because the result of such a pursuit could and would result in a loss of human effort and any kind of feeling or need for work or joy in said work. Religion serves at very least 1 purpose: to keep the human race on track to doing the morally right thing. Without the fear of hell or another sort of retribution, humanity could easily be swayed to pursue acts of evil.
