Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

I can't find a point at which you explained which part was the magic.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

The whole thing! The entire chemical process! E v e r y s i n g l e scientifically explanable moment and all the elements in it... I suppose now I'm gonna have to define magic to you so just refer to the post above where I do.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

My religious experience is incomprehensible. Just as each other persons is. People tend to forget God in developed countries. Go to 'developing' countries and see how many of them are having religious crisis. The peace and calm I have felt when my faith in God was the strongest cannot be achieved in any other way. It's not a feeling more than it is a state of mind. Tranquility, inner peace and a strength I cannot understand. Who knows - maybe it's because I don't follow organised religion....
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: NO

Do you know what heat intolerance is? look it up. feelings do not prove the existence of Gods, and arguments stating the opposite, clearly illustrate insufficient reason for belief in the supernatural, or anything 'god-like'.No one disputes whether or not we as human beings 'feel', but ppl dont worship feelings. The issue is 'Do Gods Exist'. Not 'Do human beings 'feel'. Silly emotion based arguments are little more than equivocation.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

God is no silly dillusion! Thank you but most of us agree with the fact that God exsists. Look up your information if your so smart. This is a debate if you can't fricken tell. I disagree with your ignorant statements.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: NO

so your proof for a deity is your very own 'feelings?' well that's convenient . my feelings are proof of my feelings.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Humans make Gods. So Gods exist to humans. ------------------
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Humans also make mistakes. We aren't the only species to make mistakes, yet we are the only species that illustrates false hopes in the medium of religion...
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

We're actually not arguing about whether humans make mistakes. We're talking about whether Gods exist...
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: NO

Yes, human beings conceived gods. that makes said gods no more likely to exist than if they were never conceived at all.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

the title of this debate requires clarification:What is a God??
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

because->if we are talking about things people worship, such as money, fame, power, winning, pleasure, science, ancestors, idols s.a. bronze serpents, etc->then we can indeed say that humans make gods, and we are using an old (and still applicable) definition of the word.humans can choose what they will worship and can therefore "make" their gods
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

because ->if we are talking about the God of the bible, ->then we had better leave out the above, because he falls into a different category->since we can prove his existence, observe his actions, and experience his love
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

->if we are talking about the God of the bible,->then we had better leave out the above, because he falls into a different category->since we can prove his existence, observe his actions, and experience his loveSorry, but your god isn't special. Talk to the Muslims, Hindus, Sheiks, and so on who all feel their gods' love, and can "prove" its existence.All religions claim to have a powerful truth, claim to offer proof. All religions come up short when their claims about the nature of the universe are tested scientifically. One can reasonably infer that if a religion makes false claims, it is probably man made with no god.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

because->if we are talking about greek gods, or hindu gods, or things such as spirits and witchdoctors, or just plain magic,->then are we talking about their existence? practicality? scientific verification?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

yes there may be no proof but yes w must ask our selves why does it rain a person who says god is not real would be quiet stupid to think so.then we ask them are you religious
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Depends on your religious views. Polytheism is the belief in multiple gods. Monotheism is believing in a single god.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Whether a polytheist or monotheist, religion is a tool to control people. "Religion is the opiate of the masses." Karl Marx
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

And how does your comment dispute mine?.... Quit following me around.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

----------------------------Don't Flatter Yourself---------------------------
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Belief in God doesn't mean you have to subscribe to any religion at all.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Yes god exists. I wasn't sure for a long time but I know that god is real. I have felt the spirit of GOD!
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Once when I was a little kid I felt there was crazy clown in my closet with a butcher knife waiting to kill me.I mean, I never saw the crazy clown, heck, my parents even checked to make sure there wasn't a crazy clown in my closet.But since I felt the crazy clowns presence, the crazy clown must exist...._.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

That crazy clown exist and why he didn't do you in with his butcher knife is mystery. The clown and God both exist. Maybe it was God that stopped him?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Hahahahaha awesome! Jokes aside, there's serious mistrust between you and your parents if you didn't believe them after they went to check the closet!
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life, are you actually being serious right now?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

I am not religious or anything but I still like to think god exists. We can see god as someone that we should be. We should be kind like god, we should care for others like god. I think that is what god's meaning is. Although, people say that we can not see, touch, taste, smell, hear god but if we say that, can we see your brain, touch your brain, taste your brain, smell your brain, hear your brain? We can't, unless you have some kind of surgery. And I definitely would not see how a surgery is done so I have never seen anyone's brain. I think it's the same as that.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

I'm sure by "brain" you mean "mind"... does Hannibal Lecter ring a bell? :)
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

..we should kill the population of the world when we get irritated like God, we should play with people for our personal amusement like God, we should slaughter children to send a message to political leaders who are doing things we don't like like God... oh, wait. I'm sensing a problem with this "we should be like God" idea.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

There is no proof either way. I belive the description of god disapearing in The Hitchhikers trilogy (cant remember which one of the books) shows the falicy of this arguement. Personally I belive yes god excists. But I haveno proof. However the other side of the arguement has no proof that god does not excist. So really it is just a debate over what people belive. No one has proof.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

No proof, other than the complete absence of proof of his existence. But why do you believe in a God you wouldn't know about if your parents had not told of it? Just think about the credibility of his existence for ten minutes, without using the old 'faith' umbrella.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

In the times before communicating with each other could be done as easily as it can be done today, people all over the planet believed in a higher power that created the universe. They independently feel this. There was noone from Africa telling anyone else in Europe or Australia about a god... People still wonder about that higher power today. It's called belief in God and it's not because of anything my mother told me.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Considering that in those days people worshiped the sun and believed the Earth was flat, they can be forgiven for their ignorance. They did not feel a higher power, they just had no way to explain their own existence. If you feel a higher power, then I am of the opinion that you should be locked away in a dark, damp place.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Countless number of people have claimed that they've felt a higher power, yet you say They did not feel a higher power. I mean there're people reporting alien abductions and stuff as we speak. So don't tell me how people feel. If they want to feel something, they feel it. I've never felt a higher power, but if i did and you want to lock me in a dark, damp place, I'd say I'm glad your Nazi era is over!
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

I am his child and its only thru Him that I am alive and reading His word.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

The bible is not evidence it is merely a story book.. You are indeed right that you are a child though.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Gods, such as Athena, Lotus and all the other Greek gods do not exist. There is only one Majestic, all-powerful GOD and creator, His name being God.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

If the Greek Gods are so ludicrous then what makes your God any different? Besides, the story of Adam and Eve, with the breathing of life into clay, is actually stolen from the Greek story of prometheus' Children. So, essentially you have unwittingly discredited the Bible.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Stolen? So you caught the thief and he confessed? What ever buddy. Did Alfred Wallace steal the theory of Natural Selection from Charles Darwin? Coincidences aren't always the result of foul play.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

This story seems very similar to that of the creation of Adam. If the Greek version of this is so ridiculous and false, then why isn't the Christian version? Coincidences aren't always the result of foul play.A common quote is that 'God does not believe in coincidences'.This story is simplified for children, but it makes the clay point very early.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Look, I knew it was a long shot trying to defend one religious story from another religious story, all the while not being at all religious myself.For me, God exists without religion.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

His first name i believe is actually steve, please request any physical evidence if required.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

GODS do exist.....there are many proofs...like receently it was found that a snake is dropping sacred leaveson the shiva's stoopa.......
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Not that I even know what the hell you are talking about.But unless the snake told you he was dropping whatever wherever because god or gods or whatever said to,I'd say either you're lying, or the snake was acting on some natural instinct.I mean, I can look up a picture of a unicorn, but I don't consider that "many proofs."
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

How is this proof in any way? You haven't determined the snake's motivation. First I'd like to see an article confirming this, then I'd like to see proof of causation.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Even if that is true, how does that help? In the Bible, snakes are not scared at all, if anything that would disprove God.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

If you did your research or had any sort of general knowledge you'd know that he doesn't believe in the BibleFool of a Took....
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Funny how quick you are ready to dismiss one of another religion...It should give you some insight as to exactly what many people think of the Bible.Fool of a Took....
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Are you sure you can read??Then you'd obviously understand how Rock wasn't making any reference to the Bible or Christianity.Yet PainnoLove mistook it for Christianity. I made fun of him for that.I don't know what the fuck you're chatting about though.SMD. :D
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Point taken.But I had skipped a step in logic. Saying that one thing proves one religion to be true (the snake thing or whatever Rock was saying) then using as proof that another religion says this could not be proof because snake's are not sacred.Naturally proves that either one or the other of the two religions are completely wrong.In my mind that significantly increases the odds that no religion knows what it is talking about, with them all yapping on about whether a snake/cow/dude being tortured on a cross or what have you is or is not "sacred."So yeah, I skipped a step in logic. My apologies.That said though. Again, how quickly you dismiss another religion should give you some inisight as to how an atheist feels about whichever (because it does not matter) god you believe in.Like, if you can dismiss that religions that so many people feel so strongly about, what makes you think yours could not be just as easily dismissed by another?That's all I'm saying.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Ok guys, here's the thing: My God created all the other gods, there's like a hierachy of gods and my god just happens to be at the top of the chart. His real name is ......... I can't even write it or pronounce it because it's not within the human abilities to, so I'm gonna just say that I humanly refer to him as Helluvagaai. But yeah, all the other gods exist, but Helluvagaai, he's the top chop!!!
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

And why does He have to exist? And stop saying that the "perfect" universe is proof of Him, we can explain the universe with the big expansion. Why is there a need for a god when we can explain how the universe came to be?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Didn't you know God enabled the Big Bang? Well, consider yourself informed. You could have figured it out on your own, but I guess that's the problem with using science and maths... they're terribly limiting, although apparently they've theorized that dimensions exist that can't be sensed using human senses... I guess that's only a start though, but that alone kinda says to me that God exists, you just may never be able to sense him/her/it.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

The big expansion theory works just fine without a god. Science is the best tool that you can use to get information of the world because it looks at the actual facts. If you start off with telling yourself that there is a god then you have already limited yourself extremely because then you have to reject all the facts that contradict the existence of god. I have asked you again and again why we need to add god when we don't see any proof for him at all, I don't seem to get an answer from you.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

That's because you have "limited" yourself in believing that Evolution and Creation are 2 mutually exclusive theories. Look at Theistic Evolution on Wikipedia.orgIf you wanna see a cool powerpoint presentation come here for some logical reasoning:source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr5lY0TcdAw
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

I believed in both evolution and creation from when i was 6 years old but that doesn't work because then i have to change both the bible and the scientific theories and that is immoral.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

So now you're saying that because there are so many religions - none of them are true?I believe my religion is right. Others choose to believe there's is right. I don't actually have a problem with that. My problem comes when religions (especially Christianity and Islam) spend time and effort to convert others.I prefer the fact that people are religious rather than not religious. Hinduism advocates worship over non-worship. When you look at all religions closely, you can see that they all talk about the same thing. How they are followed however is another matter entirely.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: YES

so you wont even bother with consideration for the existence of a god, outside of that which is written in the bible? no other article of faith or religious claim could possibly hold any validity? why not subject all religious claims to the same rigors of scrutiny? that would at least be a step towards intellectual honesty.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Yeah only one God is real if you real the bible that is all you need to know that he is real because he created the world if you are a Christian and if you don't believe what I am saying just keep listing to other mens theory's. ..................................................................................................
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

That is quiet the logic.-----------------------------------------
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: Agnostic FTW

What about the part about the unicorns, are they real as well?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Who wrote the Bible? He didn't. It is someone else's interpretation of who He is, and doesn't express His true meaning. How can you live by that?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Holy crap you are a simple creature aren't you?Hey I have some toast with Jesus' face, it can probably cure cancer wanna buy it?
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Of course it wouldn't, that's ridiculous. You didn't throw it away or eat it did you? It by itself wouldn't cure cancer, but it and the potato chip I have shaped as the Virgin Mary may well have cured cancer.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Everything that humans can sense and feel, exist.We see a house in front of us, so it exists.We hear a drum beat, so it exists.We feel the pain when a rock hits our heads, so it exists.We taste the sweetness of an apple, so it exists.We smell the burning steak on the bbq, so it exists.Some things we can only see the result of its work, like electricity, so it exists.Some things exist but only in our imaginations, but they exist from generations to generations. If people say that Gods exist and Gods create the universe and you can't prove conclusively otherwise, then Gods exist!
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

So you are saying that the bright white light that I see sometimes when I'm having a seizure actually exists? And the dog that attacks me sometimes when I'm about to have a seizure actually exists? And the dark shape that follows me for hours before my seizures actually exists? These things are hallucinations caused by an acquired brain injury which caused me to have temporal lobe epilepsy. If the house in front of us is not a hallucination, it has mass. It is verifiable by scientific means, therefore it exists.The drum beat is caused by the vibrations of atoms. It is verifiable by scientific means, therefore it exists.The rock that hits our head has mass and is verifiable. The pain is NOT verifiable. It is subjective. I'm not saying that the pain is not real, I am simply saying that it is an individual thing. A friend of mine has no nerve endings in the palms of his hands, as a child he was playing with blasting caps and one exploded. His hands were saved, and now he pulls roasts out of the oven barehanded as a party trick. The pain is dependant upon nerve endings, which in his case, don't exist.The sweetness of an apple is determined by its sugar content, and receptors on the tongue and in the back of the nose. The apple exists, the sugar content exists, the taste of the sweetness is subjective.The burning steak on the bbq exists, the esters it releases into the air while it is cooking hit those same receptors as for taste mentioned above. The esters exist, the smell is subjective.Things that exist in our imaginations are purely subjective. When they are generational, it is because they have been passed down orally or within writing. Thus people sometimes believe things that cannot be shown to exist simply because they don't question those things that they've been told. If people say that Gods exist and that Gods create the universe, a definition of "Gods" must be possible and should be provided. If it can later be shown that something other than what was described as "God" or "Gods" created the universe, and if that function was crucial within the description of "God" or "Gods", then the existance of said thing can be shown to be fallacious.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

RevKristine, If your having seizures, then your possessed by the devil. If the devil exist so does God. This sounds like nothing a good preist couldn't fix.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Hahahahaha I like humor!! God knows I do :)It's harmless fun and I hope that Rev understands.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Ok if you had followed all of the arguments below that one, you'd have seen that I argue for the physical definition of existence as well as the subjective imagined definition of existence. This is because the debate creator had left it wide open for defining :)
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

That sounds like an evil god that first says that you will go to hell/be stuck in an eternal wheel of reincarnation if you don't believe in me and then not define himself or show any proof of his existence.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

This means that unless there is evidence to prove the non-existence of something, anything could technically exist! Unicorns, magic, even things despised by people like yourself, it all exists.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

Ok, I guess I haven't made myself clear yet. The debate creator has given debaters the freedom to define existence. So what I've actually covered is most forms of existence, not just the physical forms. A rock exists in real physical form.Electricity exists in the work it performs.Fairies exist in the minds of people.Gods exist in many forms to many different people, so Gods exist.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

Ahem. Electricity is electrons moving from one atom in a current to another. It is physical. And no one has seen a fairy, nor have they seen a God. They might see something that the fairy did, but can that prove the fairy was real? Same thing with gods. Humankind yearns for explanations to things, science and religion both express it in different forms. Religions if just wrong :)
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: yes

No man has seen an atom or electron either!Their existence is inferred from consequences. Mind you, the operative term is 'inferred', not seen.The same is true with God, no man claims to have seen god, but the existence of the same is inferred by the consequences of the existence.
Debate: DO GODS EXIST??
Side: No

no man claims to have seen godI find the opposite to be true. In fact I think you'll find that nearly every religion on Earth, and especially the popular ones, are based on and founded on people who claim to have first hand knowledge of a god. Indeed, preachers are always spewing about god telling them this and that even today.Not that it matters, people would find an excuse to believe in a god I believe, whether some person claimed to have seen one or not.I believe if anything this would make it more likely an electron exists than that a god exists. Since as you said an electron is inferred from consequence by those honest enough to admit they had never actually seen one...but that's not so useful I guess to the overall debate.
