Sorry i don't have sound on my PC, so i didn't watch the video. I can't convince you that God designed and created the universe any more than you could convince me that it wasn't because the moon is slowly moving away from us, we are moving away from the sun as well i think, all part of the design.
You could say that about anything. What would you accept as evidence that the universe was not designed? Our biology contains demonstratble flaws - evolution not explains these, but it
requires these. But why would an intelligent designer create biology with such flaws?
This universe is temporary, god never intended it to last forever. All i can say is life was no accident. It seems well designed to me. Can you look at a clock and its complex mechanical inner workings and say it happened by accident? It appears as if the universe being so complex that many things could go wrong but don't. The same thing can be said of the earth as well.
But you have no basis for saying "The complexity of a clock points to its designer, therefore,
any complexity points to a designer". It's entirely possible, and indeed readily demonstrable, that complexity
doesn't always need a designer. It's fallacious to jump to such a conclusion.
What of all the billions of people, why are they here? accident? Are they now dead forever, recycled into the earth to never be seen again? Billions of people just die and that's all? I don't have enough faith to believe this.
You're repeating that line that's so often circulated by Creationists - "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist" - but it's gone through so many iterations, I don't think you understand what it means. It doesn't take faith to believe that, when people die, they just die. It's just an observation: when people die, their bodies will always remain dead. What happens to their minds is anyone's guess - science says
nothing about what, if anything, happens to one's conciousness after death.
I believe in science and God. My thinking isn't limited by what scientist tell me to think, i listen to God as well. Scientists once thought the world was flat and you could sail off the edge of it.
No, they didn't. We've known the Earth is round for approximately 4000 years, and it was
science which told us this fact. Moreover, modern Flat Earthers are
religious people - they take their beliefs from the Bible or the Qu'ran.
They said Global warming was man made and they falsified Data in order to prove this lie.
The climategate fiasco has not demolished the entire mountain of evidence for anthropogenic climate change - it was deplorable, yes, but one hoax is not going to shake a rather well-established field.
How is it, that they now know everything and we don't need God the creator anymore? Science has not disproved God, this in itself is proof to me that he exists. Sherlock Holmes always said if you rule out everything, the thing that remains must be the answer. God still remains. Why wouldn't you believe in God as a scientist? Where is the scientific Data disproving his existence? Doesn't God provide answers where there are none? It's illogical to say God doesn't exist without evidence.
Indeed. As a scientist, I believe only in the evidence. If there is no evidence for something, I will not believe it. So it should be obvious why I do not believe in God: there is, as far as I'm aware, no evidence.
By all means, let's use this thread to discuss the evidence for the existence of God.
What, in your opinion, demonstrates that God exists? Let's not get side-tracked with the above, let's stick to that question: what evidence is there that God exists?
