    If You Are Certain God Exists Why Prove It?

    I have read that this may be the case: "Economists know that a sound currency depends on people believing that the currency is sound. Scientists recognise that the actual objectivity of scientific studies on global warming is politically impotent unless people believe in that objectivity...

    Common theist argument: "You know, I used to be an atheist myself..."

    What he is saying is that "the more 'virtuous' argument is the one that says: because matter and energy are eternal, never ceasing to be one or the other, they cannot have a cause, but must always have had 'Being'. In other words, the existence of matter and energy is the 'default' of...

    The religion of "no beginning".

    Infinite regress or traversing the infinite is speculative philosophy, not physics. "In physics, the idea of cause-effect relationships just doesn't describe reality very well. In fact, it isn't even clear that the traversal of time is anything but an illusion. For example, in General...

    Syed's Mega-Thread

    True Muslims are proud of it. Terror and Sword is what keeps Islam together. Undoubtedly taking the initiative in fighting has a great effect in spreading Islam and bringing people into the religion of Allaah in crowds. Hence the hearts of the enemies of Islam are filled with fear of jihad...

    Syed's Mega-Thread

    It is gob-smackingly amazing that Syed should be willing to believe all of this fairy tale nonsense and not remotely entertain the possibility of evolution. :confused::confused: Indoctrination is a sin against humanity.
