Re: Questions for Kermit ...
If I could PROVE there was no God, I would, but just as JP can't prove there is, I can't prove there isn't. I also believe both to be unproveable. So as long as I can't prove the non-existance of a god, I cannot call myself an atheist, because an atheists position is absolute.

If God existed He could easily prove it :snooty:

So you live and breath just because?
The laws of physics are that way just because?
God is already proven imo.

yes, it's a belief. i believe there's no god the same way i believe i won't win the lottery every week for the rest of my life. not impossible, but i'm still fairly sure.
would you really entertain the idea that you could win the lottery every week?
Re: Questions for Kermit ...
I feel that if you believe something to be true you should be able to offer proof, otherwise it's just, as you say, a belief. I have no belief.

I've heard better arguments for the existence of Santa Claus. :lol:

According to this theory anyone can say anything 'exists' if you cant prove otherwise. There must be a lot of people locked up in the 'loony bin' wrongly.

Haven't heard the "mafia" pish for a wee while.
It's particularly funny when we're ganging up on you in relation to a subject which The and I fundamentally disagree on.

Agreed.
However, I believe something so complex as the universe had to be started by something intelligent and this has nothing to do with a particular religion.
I think it's the only logical conclusion.
I rather believe an intelligent being always was than dirt, gases, and polypeptides, always was.

If something created what we know of the universe, then it must be more complex than it. You rather believe that something more complex than the universe exists because the universe is too complex to exist on its own.
How very logical.
Btw, the word "universe" means "everything, everywhere" so by very definition, your 'creator' is encompassed by it.
So did your 'creator' create itself. That's a clever trick.
