    Ok I really am leaving after this so this isn't just a reply to Alex. Thank you everyone you have on the whole been polite and willing to accept atheist arguments. At the end of the day we're all people and that gives us more in common than any philosophical belief, treat everyone with love and...

    I want to believe...

    I just scan read this before I leave this forum it is seriously taking so much time to answer this stuff, at the end of the day it's better to spend your life living rather than philosophizing. I just want to point out a massive flaw in what you said - string theory has very little evidence I...

    I want to believe...

    [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]! I accept a possibility that there is a god, I cannot 100% prove it's non-existence. I also accept the many other possibilities. I assess these possibilities with evidence and I feel there is not yet enough evidence to make a decision. You on the...

    For Aiki: You cannot be 100% sure of the existence of god. All we can do is look at the evidence - Within the universe supernatural beings don't fly around making civilizations and watching over their inhabitants, fact. Outside the universe nobody can say, have you been there? I certainly...

    Your thought process is flawed - a creator is one possible explanation of the universes existence. It is not better than any others in fact I prefer some other explanations but tend not to comment on something with next to no evidence to support it. So while I agree god is a possibility 'he' is...

    First of all - You being a former atheist means very little. Anyone can call themselves an atheist, if you had written book which had been widely praised by the atheist community, or were a major scientist, then I would be intrigued - but chances are you have done none of those things. If...

    Why are the laws of our universe as they are? That is the question that keeps physicists, atheists and philosophers awake at night! The short answer is that we don't know. Just because we have no explanation yet does not mean that we can jump to saying god but it is a possibility. The...

    I think if anything doing this has made me a stronger atheist. I was searching for comfort but I can't go against what I now believe, time to grow up.

    As the evidence in string theory is so small and little understood there are any number of different theories we could come up with but it doesn't mean they're right. I doubt Abraham knew what a dimension was...

    The sun will one day not rise that's after it expands (this is called becoming a red giant) and destroys the Earth. We can predict that day to within a year. If you actually take the time to read up on these things you will find that it is usually very well established and 100% provable. I...

    I want to believe...

    Thanks for the reply Sorry I don't understand this first point, christians I have known admit that their view is not provable and that it is very easily disproved. However, they all say that they have faith. This is what I used to have - I always knew the probability of god was very small, but I...

    I want to believe...

    I was raised to believe in god, but as I've grown up I have lost faith. I have studied physics and I just can't see any logical way for god to exist. I don't want to say this but the evidence suggests a god outside our universe is no more likely than a pink unicorn. How do I have faith in...
