    I believe in a Higher Power that I call God for convenience. But I don't go to Church because I am sick of organized religion, which is just a phase I go through from time to time.

    My family is religious, but I'm not.
    If I have to have faith or believe in something, I believe in myself.
    I don't need religion or a God to be happy in life.
    I don't call myself Atheist, etc.
    And I'm not the kind of person to comment on anyone's religion in a negative way.
    Beliefs are beliefs. If you believe in God, it's perfectly alright with me. [:

    Short answer: no not necessarily. Long answer: there is no evidence that shows a god primarily exists in our universe, and religion has become a part of our natural state as we evolved from much more primitive species, developing a larger brain and being able to care for others such as our ancestor the neanderthalensis

    As technology develops and people focus more on logic and reason, humans have been able to become more closer to our origin than ever before. In a short summary, we are changing from fairytales such as creation and intelligent design to more modern explinations of the origin of life such as evolution. God though, is an unfalseifyable hypothesis, which means that god cannot be disproven, neither can unicorns, but if we find evidence that breaks that thought, such as a god being in the sky, then people will just say he's in our galaxy, and so on and so on. The fact that a god does exist is so incredibly low, that it seems microscopic in size. The way a god would behave and act as a omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent.sky genius, would be much more different than what is occuring in our natural world. For example, innocent kids in africa wouldn't simply die through diseases or hunger. Religious wars wouldn't happen, neither would religious sacrifices. The worst part is, people will believe anything if any so called "evidence" is shown, which weirdly enough, hasn't happened. I do admire religious people that they think the way they do and can, and who am I to judge them for what they belive. I just have a different view on these types of topics.

    In fact your words reveal that you have no idea what we mean by God.

    (Fact) God is not located "in the sky". God does not exist in space. Space-time and material exist as a contingency, Science has proven that (Big Bang).

    You are repeating nonsense you have been misled to believe by Atheists.
    (fact) Your argument is one big genetic fallacy.
    Where is your evidence or arguments that the chance of God existing is very low?
    (fact) There is massive evidence for God. There is zero evidence for no God - or Unicorns.
    (fact) Over 100 MILLION have been slaughtered by Atheists in this past century alone - dwarfing all religions combined over thousands of years.

    Stop allowing the Atheists to deceive you.

    Look at you so confident that all your words are correct, saying the atheist is lying. In fact, you are the type of people I tend to stay away from because you have nothing right to stay. 1.people have said that god is located in the sky somewhere, and continue to do so today. 2.scientists have never "proven" the big bang, but it is a highly explanational theory for the origin of the universe. 3. What evidence do you have to say that there is evidence for god. There is none. 4.The atheist has been decieving people for many years.... Do you work at fox news? Lol... Cmon try and debate me

    "1.people have said that god is located in the sky somewhere, and continue to do so today. "

    Nonsense. God cannot exist within something that depends on God for it's own existence. That's logically impossible.

    The Big Bang is highly confirmed science. An absolute beginning to this physical Universe has been fully confirmed. Red Shift, BGV Theorem, background radiation, relativity, etc

    Now let's debate. Show me your evidence for no God.

    Here is a very cursory outline of some of the best evidences for God. The full arguments and evidences are not NOT adequately explained here. This is a very compacted outline I put together - not comprehensive.

    Contingency – Why does something exist rather than nothing? Something cannot begin from nothing without a cause, so Something must self-exist. Self-existence is necessary. Self –creation is impossible. The Universe began. Universe is not self-existent. Universe requires a causally antecedent agency to explain it’s existence. God does not – no beginning.

    Cosmological – Absolute beginning requires a cause. Cause of Physical Universe cannot be Physical. Must be non-physical, space-less, timeless and willful to cause Physical Universe from Physical Nothingness.

Origin of radically sophisticated DNA information (software) driving molecular highly sophisticated molecular machines within each cell. Also, the design inference from irreducible complexity cannot and certainly has not been adequately explained.

    Precision FINELY TUNED constants and quantities present in initial conditions of the Universe to within infinitesimally narrow ranges to permit life. Universe is precision balanced on razor’s edge. This is virtual mathematical proof of intent – a function of mind – is necessary to explain these precision orderings.

    Ontological argument – God is a metaphysically necessary Being. Since God’s attributes are metaphysically possible, and all metaphysical possibilities must also be actual if possible, God must be actual.

    Intelligence in Nature: Intelligence, order and reason and information all from Nothingness?

    Spiritual instinct of man: Evolved to connect with something not actual?

    Free-will: Chemical causation is not free-will. Agency requires a soul. Chemicals have no moral duties.

    Moral Truth / Apprehension of Objective moral truth. Is rape really wrong or just an illusion? Is rape just a natural chemical byproduct caused by electrochemical activity (Atheism) – or an act of will.

    Massive Historical evidences of witnessed Miracles, visions, fulfilled prophecies,.

    Personal experiences: Ubiquitous NDE’s, supernatural phenomena

    Christ’s resurrection witnessed by hundreds.

    Absolute failure of Naturalism to explain a Finely tuned Universe, Finite Universe, Sentience, Rational truth and natural order, Moral Law (morality), intuition, intentionality, intelligence, purpose, free-will…

    And to explain your whole section on morality, animals even have their own moral code. As we developed from apes we developed a larger moral code from what we had. Say somebody stole something, it went with us as something wrong because as our brain size increased, we began to understand the consequences of stealing and other problems such as rape. Some man in the sky didn't come down and tell us what was wromg. That's basically making the assumption that a man in the sky who we have no evidence of, never seen, or heard of gave us a law that judged what we could and couldn't do.

    (fact) God is not a man in the sky..... Are you Special Ed - or just dishonest?

    (fact) You have no objective basis for moral truth unless God exists. You can't provide any. Under Atheism, what makes your moral delusions any more valid than a child rapist's - when there is no moral truth?

    (fact) You have not engaged any arguments or evidence I have provided you. You simply pretend they don't exist.

    Better get busy kid.

    Yes I do have an objective basis for moral truth. I am simply a survivng human being qustioning everything instead of believing in a higher being. The fact that you deny everything I say shows that you are not learning but rejecting. And you are so incredibly stupid if you think anything you have given me is evidence! And I have engaged arguments but you obviously are that type of person that wont listen to my side of the story. Just gtfo and go troll somewhere else where everyone is like you, thinking that morality has to be here with a god, the big bang theory has been fully proven, that atheists are ignorant because they don't believe in your view. I meet people like you everyday who do not listen to what I have to say and no matter the circumstances, they will believe their superstitious version of some genius god. And atheism doesn't give any answers, because you have to find them yourself! Why are we here? Who are we? What is our responsibility in the universe?From what you've shown me, I will continue believing there most likely isn't a god because you gave no evidence at all. AND YOU NEVER WILL unless god shows himself, which he apparently hasn't done for 5000 years. I am not some superstitious idiot who believes anything he is told. I ask questions, and asking questions leads to advancements not some settled joke that states a god fully exists in every way.

    "Yes I do have an objective basis for moral truth"

    No you don't. If so, then what is IT!! Tell us exactly what objective moral principle exists under Atheism that makes a child rapists moral opinion any less valid than yours? Under Atheism, exactly what objective basis do you have to claim child rape is morally wrong - if the child rapist thinks child rape is good for him? You have none.

    P1) Objective moral truth cannot exist unless God exists
    P2) Objective moral truth exists
    Conclusion: God exists
    There you go, now which premise will you deny?

    You have ignored my evidence - you have not even engaged it. You will lose badly on the merits if you try.

    You haven't presented a shred of evidence to justify your Atheist belief that No God exists.. If you disagree, then give me an example.

    You are totally confused and inconsistent. First, you denied Big Bang when I whacked you on what Big Bang confirms. Now you claim it is fully proven - but have no point beyond that.

    Then what makes a child rapist's 'brain evolution' wrong? Why is a child rapist or NAZI's 'brain evolution' any less valid than our brain evolution?

    You don't have an answer at all. You also have not provided any objective basis for any moral reality. You just offered Naturalist speculations that answer nothing and begged the question.

    Getting angry at me doesn't answer the question.
