Disciplined InSight;2008572 said:Yet all your claims of saying there is no Creator you got from others and is not original because you and many others like yourself must have proof that a Creator doesn't exist because you can't SEE it. The same way you don't see gravity, even though there's a law that abides for gravity with a theory that explains gravity you still can't see it..can you? The wind for example...we have all the instruments to measure wind speed, we can also SEE the trees blowing, clouds moving and so forth, so it's safe to assume that wind exists, right? So basically if you can't see something, but it's verified through these instruments and theories, right? Is it safe to say that you can easily accept this right?
Everything that you said does not apply to your theory of God. You just pointed out measurement and effects that were concluded to exist after observation and experiment to repeat the effects. They're still effects that are measurable. What causes those effects are also measurable and reproducible (or at least can be utilized or manipulated).
I don't take anything from anyone without scrutiny and you can get the equipment to test out many of the theories. You can learn on your own and put it to the test if you really wanted to prove something. There are also tangible results that lead to greater invention as evident in this society that you find distasteful.
To note last, I never believed in a God. Even the thought of it never clicked for me because of the definitions supplied of why there is a God or YHWH. I notice most people that are religious grew up in it even if they are unaware (meaning it was always around them somehow). That's the price paid for being born in such an environment. You don't know any other way. I always followed my own path (if you can even call it that) which made me an independent thinker.
There was also the fact that no one ever showed me evidence and i have a natural disposition to not give a fuck about opinions with no backing. I know how to bow out when proven wrong but it takes a lot to convince me. Much more then the writings of man with no way to test their theories and with conflicting logic once scrutinized. Things like evolution and probability (which i actually work with in computers) solidified my initial stance. I have no final answer to everything, but I'm sure your going to tell me what it is.
