Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

1. Not really, sorry.2. Since Theism is mostly wrapped up in religion we have contradiction problems. If theism idea A is right, then theism B-Z is wrong. Since all of those ideas have some kind of contradiction to the others only one can be correct. Since there are so many, statistically speaking it is close to 0% are correct.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

1. Yeah there are. There are a bunch of different theories.2. I see what you are saying - but if we think of the definition of theism and atheism then:Theism - Is a belief in a supreme beingAtheism - Is .. a disbelief of this beingIf we think that way - don't they have equal chance of being true? I mean we can't know anything for sure.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

1. I disagree. Name some.2. Very few people think that a God exists without attributing some attributes to that God, since there are so many contradicting ideas on what God is I am forced to assume that they are all wrong. I guess I just feel that if something existed it be a lot easier to identify. We know what elephants look like, they exist. We know what kangaroos look like, they exist. Etc. Atheism and Theism seem like binary choices, but we can investigate the 2 choices and 1 seems more and more likely every day.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

1. There is the Big Bang Theory, the Steady State Theory, the belief that Aliens planted life on earth (ridiculous, by the way) there is the ''we came from monkey's theory'' intelligent design the ''always has been'' theory.There are plenty.2. Okay, let me explain something.You walk into a restaurant, you order something, you eat and you love the meal.You rarely meet the chef in a restaurant, as he spends most his time in the Kitchen. If you were to think how the chef was, you would probably think he is rich and powerful, and if your friend did the same he would probably disagree and think he is generous and kind.You both have different ideas of how the chef is like, but does that mean the chef is less likely to exist?If God exists, then he is a being that you haven't met, and you begin to think how he is, and so does everyone else, and that is how religions are born.I don't think different religions lower the possibility of the existence of a God.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

1. A) Some of those things are able to go together because they explain different things.B) Intelligent design is a theistic theory, so you shot yourself in the foot.C) All of the origin ideas show that there are better things to explain reality than God.D) You are still wrong just because I don't like Theism. ;)2. The chef doesn't have the ability to affect how people think. Why would there be so many ideas when God should have some influence on it since God pretty much has to be all powerful? We know the chef exists, and we can go in and check to see if our beliefs on his lifestyle are valid. How come we can't see anything about God?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

1. A) Probably, but there are still different theories. B) People say intelligent design can go together with atheism, I don't know how though .. but whatever. Just forget that part :) C) And they also show than atheistic theories can contradict each other. D) Invalid argument :)2. A) I would guess that just like God, the chef doesn't want to affect how people think. B) According to the Christian Belief, God doesn't tolerate sins, and can't face a sinner. (which practically proves he isn't all-powerful, but let's not get into that now) Therefore he doesn't interfere with us.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

1. A) Wrong. These theories are used to explain completely different things. They do not overlap, they do not contradict each other, therefore, there is no problem and your argument is invalid.B) I don't want to forget.C) Touche.D) No it isn't :P2. A) Wrong. The chef is absolutely trying to affect how the patrons think. He is trying to get them to think that his food is the best. That's why he provides the food. Why isn't God providing any evidence He exists?B) False. Christians believe in the stories of the Old Testament. God hardened Pharaohs heart, and Pharaoh was obviously a sinner, so God does interfere.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

1. A) The Steady State Theory does contradict the Big Bang Theory.2. A) If God did create everything, don't you think he did it very nicely? I mean, aside from all the ugliness man has brought to earth, look how beautiful everything is. If someone created this I would certainly eat from him again ;)B) You just said God doesn't interfere. Now you are contradicting yourself.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

1. A) We weren't talking about those. You listed Biog Bang with came from monkeys.2. A) If God did create everything, don't you think he did it very nicely? Absolutely, that's how I know he doesn't exist, nothing was done nicely.I mean, aside from all the ugliness man has brought to earth, look how beautiful everything is.God would be responsible for creating man, therefore God created ugliness. And since we agreed God would not create ugliness, God does not exist.B) I was talking about Christian beliefs, not my own.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

1. I did mention it before, you said all they didn't contradict each other. But I listed both the Big Bang Theory and the Steady State Theory.2. A) You seriously think nothing on this world is done nicely?B) Okay, let's say God DID create ugliness. No one said that if there is a God, he HAS to be good. Maybe we have an evil God?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

1. You mentioned a list of things. The list had things that weren't contradictory as well as ones that were. 2. A) My exaggeration is the same as the religious exaggerations, no big deal.B) Interesting, so the same God can be seen as great by some and not so great by others and yet it is still possible for Him to exist. What we see in life is so random I find it incredibly hard to believe that it could be created by God.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

It can love, if the Intelligent Designer is alien in origin. Just for future reference, the designer does not need to be God.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

It can not be an alien - a alien is a physical being of a foreign specie.In my opinion it has to be a God - note that I am not talking about a particular God - just a supreme being.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

I am not saying I believe, I am just saying their are those who are atheist and do.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent designIntelligent design arguments are formulated in secular terms and intentionally avoid identifying the intelligent agent (or agents) they posit. Although they do not state that God is the designer, the designer is often implicitly hypothesized to have intervened in a way that only a god could intervene. Dembski, in The Design Inference, speculates that an alien culture could fulfill these requirements.That is an excerpt.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Believing in a God has nothing to do with believing in Religion.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

I understand what you mean, but the way you say it is wrong. Obviously believing in God and believing in Religion can't have nothing to do with each other seeing as so many religions are centered around God(s). So, your statement is false. What I am trying to say is that if a God exists He certainly made it very difficult for people to understand Him at all, otherwise, we wouldn't have so many different ideas of Him.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Your wrong, you can believe in a supreme being and disagree with religion, I have met people exactly like that just because you believe in god doesn't meen you have to join one of his gang's
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

Your wrongYou'reyou can believe in a supreme being and disagree with religionYeah, I realize that is what she is saying, but that is vastly different than saying believing in God has nothing to do with religion.I have met people exactly like that just because you believe in god doesn't meen you have to join one of his gang'sThose people are obviously rare. Plus, they probably have a different view of God as well which is what I am trying to point out.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

believing in God and believing in Religion can't have nothing to do with each other Heard of Theism and Deism?Those are belief that centers around worshipping God without any need for religion. My statement is trueWhat I am trying to say is that if a God exists He certainly made it very difficult for people to understand Him at allQuestion: What are the chances that we can even understand him in the first place?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

Heard of Theism and Deism?Those are belief that centers around worshipping God without any need for religion. My statement is trueHave you heard of Christianity. That is this pretty large group of people that created a religion around God. Well, they believe in religion and they believe in God. So, saying that believing in God and believing in religion have nothing to do with each other makes you an idiot.Question: What are the chances that we can even understand him in the first place?If he existed in an actual capacity 100%.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Have you heard of Christianity. That is this pretty large group of people that created a religion around GodWhich brings us back at the start. It is possible to believe in a God without any need for religion.If he existed in an actual capacity 100%.What makes you say so?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

Which brings us back at the start. It is possible to believe in a God without any need for religion.That's what you meant, but that's not what you said. That's why I said I understand what you are saying instead of yelling at you like you are an idiot.What makes you say so?Let's play the Centrifolia game. Prove me wrong.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

That's what you meant, but that's not what you said. That's why I said I understand what you are saying instead of yelling at you like you are an idiot.Oh, then I guess we came into a good conclusion then.Prove me wrong.Im afraid the burden of proof is carried by the one making the claim.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

Oh, then I guess we came into a good conclusion then.Yeah, your point doesn't change the fact that there are so many ideas of God out there.Im afraid the burden of proof is carried by the one making the claim.Good, we can finally agree that your claim that God exists is false and He doesn't actually exist. For my case, we have some understanding of so many things that exist on planet Earth. If God existed on planet Earth it would make sense to have some understanding of Him. So, I feel justified in asserting it would be 100%.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Yeah, your point doesn't change the fact that there are so many ideas of God out there.Is this an invitation to repeat the argument? Forgive me, but it does not interest me to tackle something I cannot learn anything new. Good, we can finally agree that your claim that God exists is false and He doesn't actually exist. For my case, we have some understanding of so many things that exist on planet Earth. If God existed on planet Earth it would make sense to have some understanding of Him. So, I feel justified in asserting it would be 100%.I fail to see your point. Would you mind explaining it?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

I fail to see your point. Would you mind explaining it?The first point that you obviously conceded that you agree God doesn't exist, or the second point?We have understanding of things that exist on Earth. That allows me to conclude that we would have understanding of God if He existed.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

We have understanding of things that exist on Earth. That allows me to conclude that we would have understanding of God if He existed.Im afraid, I still cannot understand how the ability to conceptualize the nature of divine being will disprove his existence.In the first place, If we do not even know that he exists, how can we predict his nature?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Im afraid, I still cannot understand how the ability to conceptualize the nature of divine being will disprove his existence.You asked me what were the chances of us being able to understand him. I said 100%. I was explaining why I said 100%, that's all.In the first place, If we do not even know that he exists, how can we predict his nature?You have it backwards. We have assumed He exists. We can't predict His nature. Therefore, He doesn't actually exist. The not predicting of the nature led to the inability to know He exists.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

e have assumed He exists. We can't predict His nature. Therefore, He doesn't actually exist. The not predicting of the nature led to the inability to know He exists.Dont you think thats too ambitious for mortals to create assumptions on how God should act when we do not even know how our own identities?Just as what Marthin Luther said "We have conquered the land, the ocean and the sky. But we still havent learned how to walk as brothers and sisters"If we do not even have an idea on how we can end strifes and foolishness, what makes you think we can even comprehend the wisdom of someone who has been watching over everything since eternity?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Dont you think thats too ambitious for mortals to create assumptions on how God should act when we do not even know how our own identities?Not with all of the attributes that are given to Him. How the heck would God not be the first thing I understand? He is supposed to be everywhere.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Not with all of the attributes that are given to Him.Humans kept on making their own wild guesses about his nature in ways that they like. But you cant take that as a fact, now can you?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Thanks for clearing that up, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that all we can do is make wild guesses about the most important being in the universe.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

It is impossible to calculate the probability of either belief being true.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

While a real calculation would seem difficult, what is there seems pretty cut and dried. There is no empirical evidence to support theistic claims, and most, if not all, of the claims can be disproven. And there is no empirical evidence that suggests atheists are wrong. No evidence of a soul, no evidence of a deity, and thus far we've been able to come up with a pretty good working model of our universe, from which the supernatural is entirely absent.

You posted on the wrong side
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

No, he can't say, so he is going with his default that they are different he just can't determine by how much.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

Resulting in both having equal possibility .
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Yeah, and Thought-Gnomes have a 50% chance of existing as well... >.<I hope for your sake this debate was intended to troll.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

This is equivalent to saying:Anything anyone makes up has a 50% chance of being true. That is an incorrect statement.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

No one was able to disprove Russel's Tea Cup nor the Flying Sphagetti Monster.Though its was meant to be taken as a joke, you cant deny the logic behind their creations. It is meant to show how everything that cannot be proven false, has a chance of being proven true
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

It is meant to show how everything that cannot be proven false, has a chance of being proven trueCorrect, but not an equal chance.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

I fail to see how they do not share equal chances
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

I think a good place to start would be with this: Do you think that any one proposed "thing" has the same chance to exists as to not exist?(examples: dragons, time-traveling hornets, a dog named tymoriusnous)If no, by what means do you determine if one proposed "thing" is more likely than another proposed "thing"?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Im afraid my answer would be a yes as there is no scientific explanation why they cannot exist.It is true that we havent seen one, but that doesnt mean they cannot
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Are you telling me that you think a dog with a funny name has the same chance to exist as a dragon or a time-traveling hornet?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Im fear that I will have to say yes that as long as you cannot disprove it, it has a chance of existing
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

We aren't talking about them having a chance of existing, we are only talking about if they have an equal chance. If you think a dog with a funny name is just as probable as a time-traveling hornet, there isn't really anything to talk about I guess, it would explain your gullibility though.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

QuestionMay I ask, what factors decreases the chances of a claim to be true?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

May I ask, what factors decreases the chances of a claim to be true?This is phrased incorrectly, it should be "What factors increase the chances of a claim to be true. The answer is evidence. For example, the dog with a funny name is more probable because we have evidence that dogs exist, and the people name dog. This can be compared to a time-traveling hornet, we have evidence that hornets exist, but we have no evidence that "time-travel" has ever occurred, so this claim is less likely than the dog.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

It makes no difference. Its still under the same question of how should we know that a claim has a bigger chance of being true or false?Evidence settles all debates, but absence of proof isnt proof of absence
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Sure, but there is no reason to accept a claim as true unless there is evidence of it being true.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

That statement can work both ways. But nevertheless, if a theory is convincing enough, its normal for it to have followers
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

That statement can work both waysPlease explain how my statement could work both ways? But nevertheless, if a theory is convincing enough, its normal for it to have followersYes, there are gullible people who believe things without evidence, that doesn't mean they are right.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

Please explain how my statement could work both ways?I can simply reverse your word as: "There is no reason not to believe unless proven false"Yes, there are gullible people who believe things without evidence, that doesn't mean they are right.I can reverse that to: "Arrogant people who judge things they do not understand". It is not a right thing to assume something that you cannot study. Let alone disprove
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

So based on your logic around half of every claim that can't be proven or disproven is most likely true right. So, big foot, UFOs, dragons, unicorns, magic, God, fairies, mermaids, time travelling hornets, etc. Half of these more or less are likely to exist right? That's what 50/50 means after all.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

Nope.big foot, dragons, unicorns, mermaids,There are scientific factors that makes their existence unlikely to live in the current environment. SUch as size, evolution, and natureUFOs, God, fairies, magic,Theres no scientific studies that disproves nor supports them. So I guess yes, its 50/50
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Theres no scientific studies that disproves nor supports them. So I guess yes, its 50/50So more or less half of these are likely to exist right? Every imaginary thing that I could make up, half of that is probable to existing if they all can't be proven or disproven?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

Practically yes. And theres plenty of samples that came earlier than you. Such as Russels Tea Cup and the Flying Spaghetti MonsterThey are examples of ideas born out of humor and satire to prove that "Anything that cannot be proven false, has a chance of being proven true"The question is how can you make it convincing enough.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

Would you say that a dog with a funny name, a dragon, and time-traveling hornets all have a 50/50 chance to exist?
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

That has nothing to do with the topic though. A dog with a funny name and a dragon are two different ideas.God is one idea.Atheism: I believe God does not existTheism: I believe God does existNeither have been proved or disproved only certain ideas of God have been disproved because of the many contradictions, but there is no contradictions in the idea of just a God.Therefor the concept of the existence of God remains in the middle and that means equality.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: False

I think the point he/she is trying to make is if you say God is 50/50 because it can't be proven or disproven, then more or less half of everything that can't be proven or disproven exists. That isn't how probability works. If I flip a quarter I can't disprove it will land on it side (the small part not the flat part) nor can I prove it will ergo it has a 50/50 chance of doing so right? This 50/50 chance thing is an argument from ignorance. Truth is we can't determine the probability of god, so every chance ratio has an equal chance. This means there is a 1/99 chance of it being 50/50.
Debate: Atheism and Theism have equal chances of being true
Side: True

I am sure that the topic poster didn't mean an actual probability.She meant that neither side is anymore true or less true than the other.Because there is no supporting evidence of either.
