    One of the most compelling arguments I’ve heard against the classic, particularly (but not limited to) Christian God is the conflict between His three supposed primary characteristics:
    God can’t be omniscient, omnipotent & benevolent: at least through a logical framework, any combination of two of these aspects prevents the 3rd.
    Obv I grant that “God” can have quite a few (& perhaps entirely subjective?) definitions, & that logical proofs & faith are inherently antithetical.

      @ as I stated, it’s any combination of two of the three traits that prevents the third, not one of the three preventing another of the three.
      I suggest googling it as I didn’t create the argument, but the basic premise is that an omniscient & omnipotent being cannot also be benevolent as that being would both know of all the suffering/tragedies that occur (by many belief systems, at the design of that being) & be capable of preventing & therefore chooses not to, & therefore cannot be benevolent; likewise, a being who is omniscient & benevolent cannot be omnipotent as that being would know of all the aforementioned tragedies, & desire to prevent them, but obviously cannot because those tragedies still occur. Lastly, a being who is omnipotent & benevolent cannot be omniscient because that being would want to prevent tragedy/suffering & have the power to do so, but because tragedy/suffering occurs, that being obviously isn’t aware of it, therefore, not omniscient.

    To say that there is no God and to think that everything was created by chance is extreme naivety. If you cannot see that nothing comes into existence by chance and that everything we see and have exists because of a superhuman power that created it, then I don’t know what to say.

    Most believers of religion A are effortlessly atheistic relative to gods of religion B. The same atheistic attitude could be added up across all religions to give a sum of 0. If one religion claims only their god is true, the same can be said by other religion, no? All religions should sort out amongst themselves about which god(s), and then it makes sense to begin to talk about arguments for or against that idea. So, in other words, this is a a first order issue between various religions.

      Science readily admits to "not knowing" or admitting it "got it wrong", religion simply moves the 'line in the sand' it uses to affirm its proclamations.

    You can never completely reject the idea of an intelligent designer. But we can absolutely reject the ones we have come up with. The level of cultural egomania involved is just too obvious to ignore. And gods do rise and fall with the civilizations that created them.

The whites are the sun, the earth-toned iris with air-envelope cornea is the Earth, and most recently due to science we can understand the pupil as a singularity or black hole. The author actually shows what gravity is-not the functional description from science but what it means. Also, the sun, the Earth, and a singularity are all themselves symbols of something beyond space and time in the present. All symbols require unified consciousness to
      Make and read them. Humans are symbolic of the creator, and our language use is instructive itself in reference to the higher language of reality. The eye is direct evidence on your own face. This little book is only the beginning-the author decodes much of reality in the same way and it is clearly a symbolic message. A functional message. There is no causal reason why the eye should reflect these larger things in its “orbit” and humans did not know about black holes until quite recently. We did not do this. When you begin to see it, it is like decoding a hieroglyphic language-it fits perfectly together only one way.

    One of the best arguments that I've heard against the Christian God was the lack of communication. If there is a God that wants us to know that he exists, and he is powerful enough to make that happen, then he is doing a poor job of it. There are atheists in this world who honestly have not felt any connection to God. There are three main branches of the Abrahamic religion. Jewish, Islamic, and Christian. Those three faiths have honest beliefs in God, except they have different versions. If there is a God that wants us to know that he exists and wants to convey a clear message to us, then why are there so many different versions and flavors of these religions? And why am I making this comment right now? If there was a God that wanted us all to know about him, I would know about him. Unless he's playing games, which doesn't seem very godlike.

    All arguments for God are arguments from design, by definition. So, to me, it's not so much about God's existence, but about God's necessity. If God isn't necessary (to create some aspect of "existence" or another), God becomes functionally indistinguishable from irrelevant.

    He kind of dismissively says, "Laws are effectively summaries of behavior." But that warrants a deeper dive. We may have summarized the Laws in our attempt to understand them, but they exist independently of us. The general consensus among scientists is that Laws of Nature are discovered, not invented. They exist outside of space and time (eternal). They are unseen forces that are everywhere (omnipresent). They help explain the universe (omniscient). What an atheist or an agnostic may call the "Laws of Nature," a religious person may call "God." If one defines "God" as an eternal, omnipresent, omniscient, force, one can argue that there is evidence for "God." Now whether that god (laws of nature) is a personal or impersonal force depends on the nature and origins of consciousness.

    • @regstoy
      @regstoy 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Why do theists say that the "laws of nature" are somehow written rules that control the universe, rather than them being simple observations of reality that are consistent every time we check. They do not "exist out of space and time" they are fundamentals of them.

      The experiences of love, truth and beauty are generated by our brain! An imaginary God is not involved in those experiences. Humans are an evolved species of animals nothing more, nothing less. The difference between the Homosapiens and the other great apes and other animals is a GRADUAL difference but not a fundamental one! Do you really believe that the Homosapiens are the only species that can survive their own death by going to an imaginary hell or heaven just because they developed a bigger brain and frontal lobe by the unguided evolutionary proces?

    We're not exactly in heaven, so I understand why he says there's no evidence. No one should be expected to believe anyone's inner experience. But just as an example; Sam Harris, an atheist, now believes in spirituality (spirit) having practiced meditation. He now believes that the self doesn't exist.
    In ACIM, the evidence for the kingdom isn't found in external observations or physical manifestation, but rather in the inherent nature of your own consciousness (because consciousness is all we have to work with) and that the only real reality is a unified, loving state beyond the illusion of separation; essentially the evidence lies within us, in the potential to experience pure love and unity with all creation. The kingdom of God is within. I would say Peter is correct in saying there is no evidence that anyone can present to anyone else whether internal or external. But I wish the term "God" was explained in the interview before refuting its existence.

    Putting forward arguments against God is a naïve exercise. It's like listing arguments against the existence of the Monster of Loch Ness. A waste of everyone's time. The interesting question is: why do people believe in spirits and gods? The answer must come from the psychology of religion, not from philosophy, astronomy or mathematics. God exists in the mental universe, not in the physical universe. Like Nessie!

Indoctrination from childhood on, social pressure and often oppression, a lack of a PROPER scientific education especially about evolution and cosmology, and often a lack of reasoning abilities and critical thinking skills are the keywords here! Even intelligent people put their critical thinking skills on hold as soon as their religion comes into play because of brainwashing at a very vulnerable age!

    It doesn't matter if there is a god or not. What matters is whether said god interacts with us and our natural world. Quantum Field Theory (QFT) tells us what we and our natural world are made of (mostly quarks and electrons) and everything that interacts with that stuff in a way that would be meaningful. We know today beyond reasonable doubt that there are no god, devil, soul, ghost or spirit forces, fields or particles (vibrations in a field) that interact with the stuff we're made of, and that renders any immaterial gods that might somehow exist outside space and time, moot.

    1:46 This confession is one of the most tragic and pitiful statements that can ever be uttered by a mortal man. Kuhn should've thrown his arms around him and wept aloud. It indicates a matastising inner blindness that is almost incurable. When one can no longer see things right in front of them we know physical blindness is eminent. When one can observe all the wonders around, both good and bad, and say "I see nothing" a far more dreadful blindness has taken hold. Even more terrifying, it portends the possibility of a divine abandoning to a final and all-consuming darkness.

    This man states that there's no evidence of Source(the Primordial Cause). For great is the error in considering Source as 'other than' anything and everything of phenomena and numena and if such an objective in Source is not found therefore disproves Source - this is fallacy as he designates Source to time and space and hasn't any method to demonstrate such. This is the redundancy of the mind, and Peter atkins can no longer be worthy of the question for his parameters regarding the subject is dualism and arbitrary - his frame of mind is relativity and usually what also follows such is reification.
    Many arguements there are against God but if you actually research what will be revealed is only the concepts and theories concerning God can be affirmed or denied. Nobody can deny Source that is transcendent to all phenomena time and space - and right here i mention a fallacy, for in truth it is not God who is transcendent to anything, rather man is circumscribed to and delimited by time and space. For me to say God is transcendent is my own fault in making my relative and emphemeral existence as main factor and making God revolved around me. This goes for everything relative and reificatory. Ex. people consider this phenomena here as natural and God must be supernatural for where evennis God? In truth there is no natural phenomena and a questionable supernatural where God abodes. Man made this up.
    I wouldn't wait for peter atkins or any of his kin.... they're not smart or wise.

    The best argument against the existence of God is that the construct violates the *2nd Law of Existence:* _"Anything deemed logically conceivable _*_can be brought into existence_*_ by way of an evolutionary progression of consciousness (information) moving from simplicity to complexity as long as all other laws of existence are obeyed."_
    According to this 2nd Law, any proposition that presents a "no origin point" scenario (i.e., "has always existed") cannot exist. Infinity moving into the future is absolutely *conceivable,* but infinity moving into the past is *inconceivable.* Everything observable has an _origin point._
    ... To claim an "infinite existence" for anything at all is to ask for *special pleading.*

      The god concept is made on purpose so that its existence can not be falsified! It is supposed to "exist" "out of space and out of time" so it is not detectable in any way. That's very suspicious isn't it because that is exactly the same characteristic of something that does not exist in reality but only exists as a concept in the minds of very gullible and deeply indoctrinated so-called "believers"!
      And do the theists even understand themselves what that means to "exist" " out of time and out of space" I wonder because it is an absurd, completely abstract and contradictory concept! Something can not exist for zero seconds because then it does not exist. And neither can something exist "out of space" because something that exists takes space itself!
      And to quote Bertrand Russell: I can claim that a teapot is orbiting a planet somewhere in a far galaxy. You can not disprove that but that is no reason to believe that it is true! The same applies to the existence of fairies, pixies, unicorns and all the thousands if gid concepts people believed in or still believe in!
      The moment to believe that something exists in reality is when there is VALID EVIDENCE for its existence and not ONE second earlier!
      But there is not a shred of evidence for the existence of ANY god or Allah or whatever name they gave to their non-existing celestial dictator! And science and especially evolution have already debunked the crux of christianity and the crux of all the other religions I know of AGES ago!
      So, it's about time to grow up and to leave all that supernatural nonsense of ANY religion and all those bronze age man-made myths, doctrines and rules how to behave to "please " an imaginary celestial dictator behind and to learn to deal with REALITY!
