There Is No God

Just because I don't believe does not mean I acknowledge that it's possible. Would you rather bet when you had a 99% chance of winning or a 1% chance?

Again with this odds business.
Why can't you accept that they don't really mean a god damn thing?
The chance that it can happen, can mean that it can happen.
All I'm really saying is: denying something is bad. It's one thing to support a cause, but don't lean towards it. That's being biased, one thing science is not.
Inv3rted:
What? I said I acknowledge it is possible. It is just highly unlikely.

I did enjoy that, also "nothing is impossible".
Quantum mechanics, we're like "OMG WTF NOT POSSIBLE", but it does occur.

Oh I see, I don't care for religious gods and those bullstuff stories about prayers working and stuff.
By god I mean just some higher power who had created the universe.

I would bet definitely, except your chances are for if we're talking about gods that are in religions(prayer-answering caring ones).
If we're talking about an actual just higher power who had created the universe, we have no idea.

--- Quote from: Rughugger on October 09, 2009, 08:15:01 PM ---I see God as a guy who tried to help humanity along and realized that he was simply too picky with what they did and ended up killing darn near every one of them. Thinking to himself that this plan just wasn't working, he set off to some distant locale where he could still observe, but would wait for humanity as a whole to mature and progress enough (either spiritually or technologically) to be able to encounter him again. That it's the big test he's putting us to. Like parents who have to let their kids eventually go out into college and let them live their lives.
He just realized that direct interaction was simply more harmful to the race than helping. Which would explain his absence in our overall lives of today, which is why it makes it so difficult to prove he exists. But like Inv3rted said, however unlikely, there is still a tiny chance. It's just up to each one of us to make that choice and hopefully, from this point on, we'll all just go about and not give a rip who believes in what because we all got along just fine before all this crap was unloaded. I'm making that step.

Interesting, sounds like a nice view, though I don't agree/believe in it or whatever.
Block Builder:
Personally, if I was god and wanted my creations to believe that I exist, I would have written "Hey guys, I exist. -God" on the moon or something. As of right now, according to Christianity, I'm going to hell because I believed in something based on fact and I wanted to find answers instead of just taking the easy road and becoming Christian.
