But how hard have you really looked for unicorns. What evidence/non evidence is there of unicorns existing/not existing? What if their bodies decay unlike any other creature on this planet and that's why there are no bones? There is no evidence that suggest anything different. What if they are invisible and that's why we can't see them? Again, no evidence against that. What if they... blah blah.    The above argument is retarded for good reason. Too much speculation and bs.   If god exists, he's a fcuking asshat and I'm glad I've had nothing to do with him.   If he doesn't, well, I guess I just go on enjoying my life without worrying about fairy tales. Edit: sh*t, I've succumbed to my own forum sig.

I will go along with that. If he exists he is as bad or worse than his mate the devil for all the sh*t he has put innocent baby's, innocent children and innocent people through. He is one bad bastard if he exists in my view but luckily he doesn't 👍😂

Now there are people here who believe in God or 'a God' and people who don't.  Casino has made his point and is entitled to his opinion.  However his beliefs are of a very personal nature, they are obviously important to him and an important part of his life, to the degree that he is prepared to stand up for them.

 

Non believers are also entitled to their point of view, however that belief does not entitle them to make posts which someone with religious beliefs could construe as rude, offensive or insulting.  I am mindful of some of Icey's posts where when expressing his opinions took great care with his wording not to say anything that might be the slightest bit disrespectful to anyone with strong religious ideals.

 

If you have any lucid arguments in support of your opinion then present them for debate.  Rubbishing another persons beliefs with meaningless rambling because you don't actually have the ability to construct a cogent counter argument is simply boorish.

It's Penticost . When Christ having died and come back to life, after spending time hanging round on earth, ascended up into Haven. His job done trying to show mankind there is a better way to do things.

So Casino the probe Rosetta has found the amino acid glycine on Comet 67P along with Phosphorus. Just the building blocks of life floating about in space ready to seed any planet it finds in its path, maybe God put it in place 👍 Or maybe the comets loaded with amino acids just happen naturally and started life on Earth and possibly other planets they happened across ? Science will eventually tell us and this is a step closer I think 👍 .

10/10 for keeping The God question going. However life started on earth God decided it should happen. Comet or not.

You have in full view of the internet slammed your head repeatedly and forcefully into a wall made from fact so many times you are now unfortunately intellectually and spiritually concussed. fcuk your views henceforth. You have not presented one scrap of an argument to keep this thread from continuing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have to admit I didn't used to be religious, but recently I had an unexpected intervention that made me start to believe in a God...

 

It all started when I put a pair of stinking underpants into the wash pile at home. I had been wearing them for over a week and frankly it was a relief to take them off and beat them down into the wash basket. Imagine my surprise when I went into my under-pant drawer a few days later, only to find that they had been reborn and were now clean and fragrant. I couldn't explain this with science or understand how it happened, so I have now decided that it could only have been divine intervention by God. Though which one, I am not quite sure...

 

Perhaps Casino can let me know if his God is the "one and only underpant cleaner" and why all the other gods are just made up nonsense by other people  ;)

You should get the catholics to declare your pants a holy relic, then we could all come round and worship them.

Can someone change the poll option that says;

 

No. I have no good evidence to believe in any god

 

to

 

No. There is no evidence to believe in any god.

It's really simple: when you were beating the holy crap out of the underpants, it decomposed into a stinking part and an underpants part. Each of these have their own wave function. Both the stinking part and the underpants part can literally be anywhere until you try to observe them. The act of observation collapses the wave function. Your underpants collapsed into your drawer. After some calculations, I'm pretty sure the stinking part is now either dark matter, or has gone beyond an event horizon into a black hole.

 

Science to the rescue

into a black hole.

Surely you never actually go into a black hole, just slowly approach it for eternity (relatively speaking).

If you are falling towards a black hole, from the perspective of an observer outside the black hole, the closer you come to the event horizon, the slower things appear to go. For that observer, you will never actually reach the event horizon. From your own perspective, things are as usual and you will be pulled towards the black hole and through the event horizon. Things will get a little weird close the event horizon, as things will look distorted, but you will pass through within finite time. It may sound like a paradox, that your both never hit the event horizon and pass through, but in relativity there is no such thing as 'at the same time', as it will depend on the coordinate system you use.

 

BTW, there is still a lot of discussion about black holes and what actually happens. It's one of these places where relativity meets quantum physics and they don't agree.

As there is with a lot of Cosmology TBH. I only found out about 6 months ago that 'Dark' means we have no idea.

Not only Cosmology. Most non-classic physics. Simple reason is that we go beyond the boundaries of what we experience, can test and measure. Dark matter and energy are propositions. Something is required to make space as flat as it is and the amount of observable -to us- matter and energy are not enough. Might very well be that new theories don't require it.

 

Going back to the topic: science tears the mask off Nature to look at the face of God :happy:
