Evidence for God from Science

This 'D. Aubrey Bryant, Jr.' dosen't sound like an atheist. He sounds like someone who, in the past, has been a super religious person but who now has gone off the rails. I've met a few like that who say they hate god. An atheist can't hate what he dosen't believe in. This person needs help.

That essay, or sermon, is the sort of thing we atheists face all the time. Some will react, I don't. I feel pity for the person who wrote that. He is so filled with hate that it must be tearing him up inside. Please make no comparison between that person and Jonathan Edwards, who happens to be one o...

Gman - I believe one of the guidelines for this forum specifies that everyone should stay on topic. The general subject for the forum is morality, and moral behaviour was the substance of my post that started this thread. How do you answer what I wrote, and can you persuade me that my ideas about mo...

All of you are raising some good points for discussion. I'm on my way out now to visit Central Prison. When I get back this afternoon I'll try to answer everyone. Please don't add anything to the list until I can work through all of this. You make a good discussion group. I'm happy I found this site.

Any stem-cell research would need to be bound up in tight legislation to ensure that it never went beyond using the throwaway leftovers. But how do you do that? On the surface, it sounds as though the benefits far outweigh the potential danger, but in such a question extreme caution is needed. If al...

Gman - Perhaps you have missed the point that I am an atheist. You might want to go back and read through all my posts to get the full picture of what I believe.

But otherwise, thank you for the thought.

I certainly agree with you on one point, that '...the highest level of sensitivity to morality and ethics is generally found within the individual', but I do no agree that that is in conflict with the concept of the herd dynamic, the law of the pack. On the one hand, I must always and forever take f...

I can pin the time down pretty close. It would have been around the middle of June, 1949, a couple of months before my ninth birthday. Up till Christmas, 1948, I had never given any thought one way or the other to whether god existed. At Christmas that year I decided that I would read the bible all ...

August - Sorry, I guess I buried the answer too far into the post. The answer is that there is an 'objective moral code that we should be bound by as humans'. First of all, we are pack animals. We share that with the other great apes and with many other mammals. We inherit an instinctive drive to pr...

Sorry, I spent so long on that last post that two responses to my first post came in behind my back. BGoodForGoodSake - You are right, and I doubt there ever could be any scientific way of measuring morality. It is perception, and all I can do is report on what I have perceived to be the case. Augus...

Thanks for your kind response. One point I would argue. I do not by any means intend to say that life is meaningless, but, rather, that we each give life a meaning depending on how we live. The person who grabs only for wealth makes his life worth only what wealth he can accumulate while he lives. T...

I have two questions about an essay I read on another page on this site. The name of the essay was, 'The Power of Atheism to Change Lives'. It is located at: http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/power.html My questions are, do most christians really believe this about atheists, and, will I be im...
