Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: With God,nothing is impossible

If he knows that I am going to hell why did he create me? So I could suffer?
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: With God,nothing is impossible

He created you for His own pleasure. It pleases Him to give you life. It pleases Him to give you all things good. You can be relieved from all suffering, and you will be if you repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ who took your suffering in death and paid your price so you can be relieved from paying in Hell. Believe on Him in His resurrection, receive Him as the only Savior, and you will be with Him in His resurrection forever and your suffering will end in eternal life with no more dying, no more sickness or pain, and God Himself will wipe the tears away from your eyes forever because He is good and He made you for His own pleasure to be like Him and with Him in His Kingdom. You can be born again as a child of God....maybe you are now, even before you finished reading this post. It's possible. Let me know if it happened for you, before or after you read this.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: With God,nothing is impossible

God knows everything. He knows what is going to happen before it happens, He knows what you are going to do before you do it. If you do something that kindles His anger, He knew His anger would be kindled against that thing before you did it.My theory is that He at times blocks out his own knowledge so that He can enjoy participating in the progression of events. God created all things for His pleasure. This kind of reasoning about the foreknowledge of God seeks to blame God for things because it is in His power to stop anything that is happening by confining the ones doing it in Hell. It's a blame game, and it's a mistake to play it.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: Big Bang *Theory*

I don't know whether if we have free will or not. But the outcome of all random events are really unpredictable. There is always an uncertainty associated with every event no matter how much data we have. This uncertainty may be refereed to as freewill.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: With God,nothing is impossible

Hogwash. The outcome of all your events, if you say they are random or willful, is death. You are hoping to be relieved in uncertainty, but you certainly are not relieved. Double-talk won't get you out of death.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: Big Bang *Theory*

Are you serious, your response must be a joke. There is no freewill if the master knows what you will pick. How far ahead does God know what I am thinking 1min, 1 year or my whole life? First off you don't know the answer so even trying to argue the premise is ridicules. And even if you could know how far into the future he knows my thought it still wouldn't matter because he knows, thus no free will. It is impossible to have a choice in a predetermined outcome.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: With God,nothing is impossible

Are you seriousDamn rightyour response must be a joke.Damn wrong There is no freewill if the master knows what you will pick.Damn stupid, look at my example again and tell me how there is no freewill. John could have just as much chosen the other candy. Just because Tommy knew that he would choose this certain candy doesn't mean there is no free will. Your statement makes no sense. I don't get what freewill has to do with the knowledge of what the person is going to choose.How far ahead does God know what I am thinking 1min, 1 year or my whole life?ForeverFirst off you don't know the answer so even trying to argue the premise is ridicules.I don't exactly know the answer but I do know that freewill has nothing to do with knowledge. And even if you could know how far into the future he knows my thought it still wouldn't matter because he knows, thus no free will. It is impossible to have a choice in a predetermined outcome.I still don't see your point. Give me a larger and more digestible example before you blow your top off that God made us robots.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: With God,nothing is impossible

He is simply being really bad at explaining the issue. Your example doesn't fit as an analogy because Tommy is not an omniscient, omnipotent creator who had complete influence over John's choice of candy. If Tommy had created John's life and world, knowing before John was even born that he would pick said candy, then John's "choice" is not much of a choice at all as it was preordained.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?

Now that... Makes sense...
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: With God,nothing is impossible

Essentially it goes back to John Calvin, a 16th century French theologian from the Protestant Reformation, that believed in the concept of Predestination: the idea that before we are ever born, God has already predestined our entire lives and after lives, due to the reasons I previously explained. Mind you Calvinism is slightly different, but the overarching concepts are the same. This idea tends to be a bit of a deal breaker for non-theists, and seems to be a serious point of contention amongst many theists (be they Christian or other Abrhamic faiths).

Also we will never know everything until we die. When we die we will know everything. And you will understand.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: Big Bang *Theory*

I feel sorry for you and envious at the same time, you actually think you make sense, please try to understand, if he knows everything then he already knows the outcome so its game over. If he knows I am going to pick the gum then he knows how many times I will change my mind beforehand and every single decision up to the point that I pick the gum. Please tell me at what point I have freewill, in order to have freewill I have to be able to make a decision were the outcome is unknown until the last moment and then every decision I make will have consequences on my future.If he knows when I will die and how I will die then he knows every single decision leading up that final point, so how do I possibly have any say in the matter. Lets say you were to die and god told you that you were going to hell because of your decisions and actions, my response would be but you already knew that from the day I was born because you know what I was thinking even before I did, so how can you judge me on something you already knew.

You chose the words you used to frame this argument, and you are the only one responsible for your choice. To say you had no choice in the words you used is indeed madness, so I guess your screen name honestly describes you.

The joke is on you, and it's not funny, it's an evil joke. You are believing lies and trying to make them into a joke, and you are paying for it in death which will be confined in Hell forever and nobody will enjoy jokes there. You need to wake up and get out of that dumb joke. God wants to get you out of it, but He will let you stay in it if you want to. You can only blame yourself. Blaming God won't do you any good.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: With God,nothing is impossible

You wish you bore no responsibility for your actions and you wish you could blame God for everything you have done. You wish that you were God. God's not buying your excuse, you are buying Hell and you can be relieved from that purchase agreement and have eternal life through Jesus Christ today, now and forever without doubt. I don't think you are ready, are you? Are you ready to admit that you deserve to die and burn in Hell forever as a sinner, or are you still trying to blame God for what you do?

How do you not get bored of repeating such frivolous nonsense ad naueseum?
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: With God,nothing is impossible

I get bored reading your stuff, that's why I usually don't read it...I know it's more of the same....lying and twisting reasoning and putting on a show of being smart and strong....it's really just repulsive, not boring. It would be boring if you were talking more maturely like some here who hold your beliefs....it's always the same old stuff, accusing God of not being good, and complicating the accusation as much as possible in order to deceive oneself into believing they have the right to exist outside of the fire of Hell and God has no right to rule over or against you. You are clinging to arguments sold to you in order to secure your destruction in Hell. If I were you, I would stop it.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: Big Bang *Theory*

Ironic. You repeat the same proselytizing, and accuse anyone who disagrees with you of "lying and twisting reasoning" in an way that is utterly illogical.You accuse anyone who disagrees with your of being immature, and you refuse to hold a legitimate conversation.I was plenty mature when you first came here, and for quite a long time I maintained civility despite how uncivil you were. But then I realize you simply are an ass who comes on here to reenact the same pathetic power trip over and over, so I figured, why bother being civil any more?

Enough of you in my debates. You are a liar, plain and simple, and I'm tired of arguing with you trying to get you to admit it like a man.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: Big Bang *Theory*

Yes of course, anyone who disagrees with you a liar. Everyone who holds a different opinion is a liar. You are the only pure and good person and you were chosen by god to come here and insult us sinners.Just leave already.
Debate: Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory or God?
Side: With God,nothing is impossible

Try telling God you bear no responsibility for your thoughts or actions. I'd have to be pretty stupid to believe you bear no responsibility for your actions. You have a better chance of fooling me than you do of fooling God, and you are nowhere near fooling me....you couldn't fool a five year old with this line of thinking...you are only trying to fool yourself, and maybe you really do have yourself fooled.
Debate: Do You Believe There Is Any Form Of Life After Death?
Side: Believe It

I've had several paranormal experiences during my life so I know there is something there but I don't know what it is. I'm just an observer. I don't think ghosts are alive therefore I don't consider being a ghost being alive after death. There is a presence there but not a life. On the other hand, what the hell do I know anyway? I just have my opinion.

I don't think ghosts are alive therefore I don't consider being a ghost being alive after death. There is a presence there but not a life. On the other hand, what the hell do I know anyway? I just have my opinion.I was absolutely petrified of ghosts and the paranormal when I was a kid. But with no direct experiences then as soon as I hit about 19 or 20 I stopped believing in it all. These days I find horror films based on the paranormal really boring, whereas as a kid they would absolutely frighten the crap out of me.I have had a few strange experiences, but nothing which is outside the realms of logical explanation. At 16 I had an out of the body experience which seemed very real to me at the time. In hindsight however it did happen shortly after I had smoked pot for the second or third time ever.I used to go ghost hunting as a teenager with a few pals of mine, back when I still half-believed in the paranormal. A few strange events there, like seeing a man walking through a field in the middle of nowhere at 3am. But I'm fairly sure it wasn't a ghost, just a farmer. In fact, thinking back, there is possibly one event in my life which I can't explain rationally. That isn't necessarily to say a rational explanation doesn't exist for it, mind you.When I was really young, maybe 9 or 10, my parents went out and they must have taken my brother with them because I remember I was in the house alone. It was the middle of the daytime otherwise I'd have probably been afraid, but I remember going upstairs to use the bathroom. When I came out, my parents' bedroom door was to the far left of me. It had been fully closed because I checked it on the way up, but as I came out of the bathroom I watched the door actually open from a closed position and creak eerily ajar.I still remember at the time that it sent me into an absolute panic and I raced down the stairs. No windows were open anywhere in the house so it was very strange. It never happened again so eventually I just put the memory to one side.

Yes. I believe sinners go to Heaven if they repent of sin and receive Jesus as Lord, and sinners that do not, go to Hell.
Debate: Do You Believe There Is Any Form Of Life After Death?
Side: Believe It

Yeah, I do. I don't think the bodies we are in are our only form, and there's been some strange things that are hard to explain. It's one of those things that is hard to solidly prove and is more belief born from personal experience and from other's experiences.

Debate: Do You Believe There Is Any Form Of Life After Death?
Side: Believe It

I don't believe it. I believe our conscienceness is biological, not spiritual.Fair enough. I don't think consciousness is understood at all, by anybody. Even if its causes are physical, does that necessarily mean than consciousness itself has to be physical?
Debate: Do You Believe There Is Any Form Of Life After Death?
Side: Believe It

Reading my argument again today - I probably sounded more confident than I intended. I do consider myself an agnostic atheist, some things we just cannot know, and probably will never know. And life after death, and whether our consciousness is physical or not are one of those things that I'd never intentionally have a confident opinion on, it would always be; this is what I lean towards as being the truth.That said, Ill respond to your response - if the causes of consciousness are physical, does that mean that the consciousness itself has to be physical.Honestly I can totally get on board with that, we aren't robots, we aren't controlled by our instincts. On the contrary we analyze everything, not just factors that are relevant to our survival, we analyze ethics as well.So in that regard, there is something about us humans (and other species) where you could argue that this doesn't make sense biologically, because biologically we should only be concerned with survival and procreation.However!!! I would still argue that if something has biological causes, then that thing will still die when the cause has died. If something has physical causes, then it depends on those causes to stay active.

At least if we expand procreation to cover pleasure generally. However!!! I would still argue that if something has biological causes, then that thing will still die when the cause has died.I don't think that statement is necessarily true. Computers and AI for example have biological causes, and it is only a question of time before we can make exact digital copies of a person's underlying personality traits. Coupled with cloning, which we can already do, then if an identical personality inhabits an identical body what then?You could look at it the same way as being a file on a computer. If the computer copies the file but then deletes the original, you still have the file, right?What I think is that life is a form of energy produced through a process we don't yet understand. Since energy can't be destroyed it can't die as such. That's not necessarily to say it is still alive of course, or in any way conscious, but if life is a form of energy then that is at least possible.

Side: Believe It

Well I think this discussion has entered a very technical arena that Im not too comfortable in HAHA! Honestly, I don't know much about AI, so even if I were to have an opinion on robots with personalities and what not, it would probably be very flawed :p I guess I see the consciousness more of a wired source of energy - does that make sense? The consciousness is not its own source of energy. It's not an endless battery, it has an energy source: the body. When the body dies, there is no energy, and thus no consciousness.If consciousness was its own energy source then we would be conscious all the time. We would not depend on the body to stay conscious, for example when the body sleeps or faints.

If we learn how to download your exact personality, including all memories until death, into a cloned body, is that still you?I think the invention of this kind of technology is only a matter of time. Life will begin to feel like a video game in that you will be able to backup regular "saves" of your memories and personality traits.I guess I see the consciousness more of a wired source of energy - does that make sense? The consciousness is not its own source of energy. It's not an endless battery, it has an energy source: the body. When the body dies, there is no energy, and thus no consciousness.Yes, that makes perfect sense. Something interesting to consider though is that scientists discovered fairly recently that the brain doesn't die when the body does. It shuts down gradually, in stages. They were able to see electrical activity after death and even culture living cells from dead brains.If consciousness was it's own energy source then we would be conscious all the time. We would not depend on the body to stay conscious, for example when the body sleeps or faints.I understand. That's a fair point, but I think in the context we are using the word "consciousness" (i.e. to describe the condition of being alive) we should also include subconscious brain activity. Being asleep or fainting isn't the same thing as being dead after all.

So, the light flickers a little before it goes out completely. That's not surprising. When it's out, it's out.
Debate: Do You Believe There Is Any Form Of Life After Death?
Side: Believe It

So, the light flickers a little before it goes out completely. That's not surprising. When it's out, it's out.Sure, it might seem so, but again there are other factors to consider. So far we have only scratched the surface of how the brain works and, when we talk about brain activity, we might conceivably be talking about quantum activity. Quantum reality is a lot different to the reality we experience and it is not bound by the same laws and restrictions. The infamous Schrodinger's cat thought experiment illustrates that, as far as quantum mechanics is concerned, dead is not always dead.The film Inception scratches a little at the mysteries of dreaming. For example, time does not run the same way in dreams as it does in waking reality. You can spend days locked in dreams while only a matter of hours passes by in waking reality. Dreams are also every bit as real as waking reality while you are actually inside them. That is why it is so difficult for people to lucid dream (i.e. realise they are dreaming while inside a dream).

No, as there is no means by which we could evaluate or even logically infer the afterlife. Just as well, most incarnations of such a concept make additional unsupported claims that just add what is already a seemingly insurmountable burden of proof.
