Energy?what cannot be destroyed, but only change form? What links everything that exists (all that can be seen, and all that cannot) across the universe? What is one thing that fire, wind, or the center of a black hole had in common?
Who's side are you on AVEnergy?
Who's side are you on AVNow stop confusing me by actually giving correct answers!
Did you mean 'gravity'?Everything is connected by energy.
Did you mean 'gravity'?
An electron at one end of the universe exerts a pull on an electron at the other end of the universe.
In fact, there is no such a thing as 'zero gravity' --- scientists have moved the goalpost to 'microgravity'.
Okay --- thanks for the 411.This is where things get complicated, once the force of gravity reaches a certain weakness, it runs into the granularity of the universe as defined by quantum mechanics. At that point it hypothetically has no effect. This is one of those complicated issues where the laws of physics as we know them break down- because we don't know everything.
Why do you expect atheists to know everything about how the universe began? The truth is, they don't. Nobody does.Energy... God's communication device, from one side of the universe to the other, and everything in-between, from the unseen nano particles to the unavoidably large, Everything is connected by energy. Everything is connected to God!
Big Bang, what sparked it? What launch them, put them into orbit, or made them collide? Life, who created it (even in its simplist form)? Who or what created every element?
Are we Sims, and God is our Gamer? (a little humor)...
Well, not everything. Every event is in its own lightcone in spacetime, and nothing beyond that cone can be influenced by that event.Energy... God's communication device, from one side of the universe to the other, and everything in-between, from the unseen nano particles to the unavoidably large, Everything is connected by energy. Everything is connected to God!
Big Bang, what sparked it?
What, planets? They're just aggregates of interstellar dust.What launch them, put them into orbit, or made them collide?
Inorganic chemicals reacting to form organic chemicals (micelles, monomers, lipid bilayers, amino acids, etc). That's the simplest form of life.Life, who created it (even in its simplist form)?
Novae.Who or what created every element?
If we're in a game, I'm dying to know what the cheat codes areAre we Sims, and God is our Gamer? (a little humor)...
That's not exactly what moving the goalposts means... but ragarth explained microgravity well, so all's good.Did you mean 'gravity'?

Proofs are for mathematics and alcohol, not for statements of a scientific or a philosophical sort.
I don't see why proof should be a requirement for belief in the nonexistence of something. While an absense of evidence might not be proof of absense, it is nevertheless evidence of absense. If gods remain so stubbornly hidden that they might as well not exist, it is reasonable to conclude that they don't exist. One might not have proven this beyond all doubt, but so what? Let's deal in human certainties rather than demanding what tends to be impossible -- proofs about what cannot or does not exist.
Sidenote: Though rabid Christian behavior was obviously not the origin of my Atheism, it is distasteful and certainly not helpful for the Christian cause, since I only walk away rolling my eyes instead of receiving the intended message. This, of course, can be said for all dogmatic and disrespectful people defending any belief. It's one thing to be passionate, another thing to be militant.
I'm more like an agnostic atheist myself. I know for a fact that there's no way I can be sure gods do/don't exist, but my official stance on it is that I have no use for them one way or the other. I don't assert that there are no gods (I may elude to or even voice that opinion from time to time), but I'm pretty certain there aren't - and even if there are, they don't affect me at all. It's their followers I have to worry about.
