Debate: Does God exist?
Side: yes

why people will not accept the simplest of its instructions, such us not eating any fish that has no fins or scales (lobster, mussels, crab, etc.)Have you read of seafood and shellfish allergy? Guess what kind of seafood causes those? Lobsters? Check. Mussels? Check. Crabs? Check. Now did you know that you can develop shellfish allergy during your adulthood? That's a very interesting point, because if God didn't warn the Israeli people against those foods, people would claim that an all-knowing God should know better.Shellfish is the most common form of allergy in adults and can cause death through anaphylactic shock. We started eating them for the same reason that people no longer dig holes in their yards to crap on. Technology allows us to get away with it. However, Israeli people didn't have the same luck. For them, shellfish allergy meant death.he has a lot to answer for. Because if that God is our parent, then he is guilty of some serious parental neglect.So said the rebel teenager that demands his father to pay the fines for his crimes.That "something" that you are referring to is consciousness.If it was mere consciousness, there would be a general agreement regarding this, since everyone is conscious, but since not everyone is religious, it is clear that it is something besides consciousness.Does this prove that the cause for this widespread belief must be that these entities exist?You are correct here. He was attempting a proof by popularity fallacy. However, the psicologysts agree that 'Spirituality' is a human characteristic, although not always expressed by the means of a religion.Surely you can see the fallacies in that argument.Surely you know you are making a strawman, right? An argument that have existed for almost a thousand years and is constantly being revised and criticized is not a stupid fallacy, or it would have been dropped long ago, instead of resisting for a millenia.Superman is also a great conceivable being. The fact that he does not exist does not alter his status as a great conceivable being.The ontological argument does not rely on being 'great' but on being 'the greatest.' Again, I think you should study it a little more before jumping to conclusions.For example we have now discovered large quantities of methane on Mars, which could come either from geological events (mud volcanoes) or biological processes (bacteria or micro-organisms) living under the surface.And because it could be caused by biological processes, then it was? What's preventing Mars from being a completely lifeless planet and all the methane have been created through mud volcanoes?we have discovered (on Earth) micro-organisms that live in ice! They produce an anti-freeze enzyme that allows them to liquidate the ice around them and thus creating microscopic tunnels.And guess what? If life was either a little closer or a little farther away from the Sun, they wouldn't exist either! Either because ice wouldn't be able to be formed (too close), or because it would refreeze too quickly (too far).We have found very similar tunnels on Europa.Citation needed. I never heard of this, but I am pretty sure it is speculation based on long distance photography.although they may not have humans on them, or complex living organisms, other planets may well harbor life on them.Yes, they may. We haven't found any yet, though. Only possibilities and good possibilities.Since nothing can be created out of thin air, wouldn't it be more logical to assume that maybe the universe existed foreverActually, stuff can more or less be created out of thin air (from massless energy, actually) in a process called Pair Production, and the Universe cannot have existed forever because of the entropy. There is no know process by which entropy can be reduced, and an Universe that has existed since forever would have infinite entropy and would have long decaied into heat death.It does not take a genius to figure out that it is best if we don't kill each otherWhy? I mean, if I kill you, I get to have all that you have, for free. Why is it best if I don't kill you? I have to share food, water, women, and other resources with you.If we have figured out how to do open heart surgery then surely it's not that hard to figure out a few rules of conduct when living with each other.That would have been a good argument if morality was a product of modern civilization. It isn't. It is as old as mankind, kind of one of the first things we "figured out".Is murder universally rejected? Go tell that to the supporters of the death penalty.Murder is defined in the dictionary as killing a person without a justified reason. Death Penalty is, in the mind of its supporters, justified by the crimes of the person.If God exists the He is also accountable to Us for a myriad of actions that He took or did not take.Is your father accountable to you for not giving you a bicycle when you were ten years old?Can you please explain why don't all atheists become lying, murdering, cheating, stealing scums?Peer pressure.Is it not possible that the Creator made the space in which evolution took place?Not the Christian God, but it is a valid possibility for other gods.
