I believe that a possibility can occur based on our existence and accomplishments and no established facts saying that it can't occur in other parts of the universe.

My belief is not baseless because its based on us.

If I understand what you're saying ... then this is exactly what I said.

Just because something's possible doesn't mean it's true, or likely to be true.

It's possible that I have a 24" penis. None of you have seen it, and can confirm that it's not true. That doesn't make it reasonable to accept a claim that it is true.

I never said its true. If I was saying its true then I wouldn't consider it my belief.

Well do you think your belief is true? Do you even care if you believe things that aren't true?
I believe that it might be true because we ourselves have created and there are no established facts saying that other intelligent life forms out there wouldn't be ankle to do it too.

Its my guess and nothing more.

I do care if I believe things that aren't true but if I don't know if its true then what is there to care for?

Yes, but do you think it's likely to be true?


And it might be true because we create things? So do you think the only way humans or any other life form would be able to create stuff is if there was a god out there?

No dumb dumb.

Atheism is the LACK of belief. The word shouldn't even exist, PRECISELY for this reason.

It doesn't assert anything and it doesn't make you take a stance on anything.

ITS MERELY the lack of belief.

Everything else after that is what you are choosing to put forward.

I thought yall were at least somewhat intelligent....But yall are the smart dumb nikkas that release their fustrations through a keyboard...


Yall still talking about proving there is a God and not only is the existence of a God not expressed anywhere in my posts, I could actually care less...

shyt flew right over yall heads, but I shouldn't have expected a real discourse on here.....

Bruh. I already explained this to you.

It doesn't say "atheists" don't believe in ANYTHING. What you're talking about is nihilism.

Atheism is SIMPLY the lack of belief in a god. What you do with your life after that is up to you.

No..It is absolutely not........


And again......The shyt flew right over your heads...But that's what happens when you only seek agreeance as opposed to discernment....shyt is one of the most insecure traits for a grown man to have....

I don't think anything when it comes to it being the truth because there is no science to guide my belief in any way. Its all in uncharted territory.

I think its possible because we can create things so there is a possibility the we came to be based on another intelligent life form creating us using means within our universes laws.

Well, isn't it also possible that we came about through completely naturalistic means?

Nowhere. Do you think both propositions are equally as likely to be true?
Yea why not.

Look at me as guessing heads before the coin is flipped. Its my guess but I never said that it could never land on tails.

Well, fair enough. I don't understand why you accept the theist label though if you only believe in the possibility of a creator. Hell, I believe a supernatural creator is possible ... that doesn't mean I believe a supernatural creator exists (or ever did exist).

And quite frankly, I'd argue that either option aren't 50/50 likely to be true. I'd say that tails is a bit more likely. And it's based on a few things. One, we have zero knowledge or understanding of a supernatural realm, or being that created us that might live in a different galaxy/dimension. Two, throughout history, every single thing human beings attributed to a god or higher power because they didn't understand it... when we investigated it, it turned out they have all had completely naturalistic explanations. From lightning and other natural disasters, to sickness and germ theory .... everything that was once thought to have a supernatural cause, we found had a rational explanation once our knowledge, and technology improved. To me, what you're doing is no different than what the ancient greeks did when they thought Zeus threw lightning bolts from the heavens. This is just something else we don't know. I think it's much more likely that once our technology improves, we'll find the real answer, and find it's also natural like everything else.
