    PROOF OF GOD THROUGH SCIENCE

    • Atheists: Teaching Christians about their own religion

      Uh, if you have evidence, then there is no faith, and under Christianity, if you do not have faith, you cannot get into heaven. If you are searching for scientific evidence, that means you don't have faith. Justification is through faith alone, says Paul. If you know, you don't have faith.

      Which leads to a paradox: None of the 12 disciples had faith: they had evidence, lots of it. If Paul got a vision, then he got evidence, and thus cannot have faith. Therefore, none of them can go to heaven.

      And another paradox – why was evidence necessary for the Disciples? Not only that Jesus was what he said, but that he had risen? Jesus has to visit them in his zombie period to prove it.

      So why is it wrong now to want evidence, when they all needed it?

      It's no challenge to believe something when you have evidence.

    Why would religious people be happier if someone they love wins a trip to hawaii then going to heaven ( when they die )?

    • Deep down, you subconsciously know it is not true

      Similarly, why would anyone be sad when a loved one dies, when the dead person is receiving the greatest bliss imaginable? Because . . . deep down, they don't really believe.

      Why would anyone be afraid of death when they are gettng heaven? Because deep down, they have their doubts.

    If you pray sincerely, then God will answer your completely heartfelt, unselfish, non-materialistic prayer correct? It will glorify God and help millions of people in remarkable ways.

    Will anything happen? No. Of course not.

      Russ, stuff the bible spew up yours. So how come your god can't send out a few tweets himself? Seems a little less than omnipotent, that Christian sky fairy of yours...

      October 23, 2012 at 7:14 pm |
    • Russ

      @ Verner Berner: even if you only consider the Bible to be the most well attested ancient writing we have or simply the most read book in history, it is worth perusing to be educated per the most influential movement in history.

      but directly to your point, what are these accounts claiming? that's why I cited the places I did.

      Heres a scholarly essay on the myth question from one of the most prominent myth scholars of the last century:
      CS Lewis' "Fern Seed & Elephants"
      http://orthodox-web.tripod.com/papers/fern_seed.html

      If you want to read more, Richard Bauckham's "Jesus & the Eyewitnesses" is a good recent scholarly book on the subject.

      I'm a bit upset god hasn't mass-texted us all just to go ahead and prove his existence. I mean, how hard would that be? One "lol, from god" on my phone and I might reconsider by atheism.

      October 24, 2012 at 12:46 am |
    • Russ

      @ End Religion: that plays both ways. The central claim of Christianity is that God came in person already. Yet your demand here is: "yes, but not in the way I would prefer."

      So in order for you to believe in a Supreme Being, his chosen means of self-revelation are not sufficient / irrelevant, and he must submit to the terms you dictate?

    If God answers medical prayers, then why do you need health insurance?

    Simply think it through.

    If what Jesus says about prayer in the Bible is true, and if all the stories about medical miracles in inspirational literature are true, and if your belief in God and the power of prayer is true, and if God has a plan for you, then why do you ever need to visit a doctor or go to the hospital?

    Why don't you simply pray for a cure whenever you get sick?

      Prayer does not; you are such a LIAR. You have NO proof it changes anything! A great example of prayer proven not to work is the Christians in jail because prayer didn't work and their children died. For example: Susan Grady, who relied on prayer to heal her son. Nine-year-old Aaron Grady died and Susan Grady was arrested.

      An article in the Journal of Pediatrics examined the deaths of 172 children from families who relied upon faith healing from 1975 to 1995. They concluded that four out of five ill children, who died under the care of faith healers or being left to prayer only, would most likely have survived if they had received medical care.

      The statistical studies from the nineteenth century and the three CCU studies on prayer are quite consistent with the fact that humanity is wasting a huge amount of time on a procedure that simply doesn’t work. Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs!"
