It came from a book I was reading in the library. Think I 'm lying? Why don't you go look it up. It was years ago. I think this conversation has ended.Link me a scientist who says that, or you're lying.
Sorry, but no one would EVER say that because its NOT TRUE.
Does this book have a NAME!? I can't look up books without a title.It came from a book I was reading in the library. Think I 'm lying? Why don't you go look it up. It was years ago. I think this conversation has ended.
Okay.
Okay.
Everything is made up of matter.
Anything you can see or touch, the air you breathe, everything alive.
All matter.
Matter is made up of atoms.
When you split an atom you get a sub-atomic particle.
You can't get any smaller than a sub-atomic particle because matter cannot be destroyed.
A sub-atomic particle is STILL MATTER.
No.
There are NO scientists that disagree on this.
This is what you're missing,
Did you read what I linked?
This is a scientific LAW.
It has never been disputed by anyone.
Even when you split an atom it becomes a sub-atomic particle, and you CANNOT destroy a sub-atomic particle, no explosion ever could.
Now hold it, I'm still here.Does this book have a NAME!? I can't look up books without a title.
And if it was 'years ago' why would you not think that maybe it was wrong?
And yeah, I think this conversation has ended as well.
I am in shock that I had to debate the 1st Law of Thermodynamics with someone.
It seems to me that you're not making any sense.Now hold it, I'm still here.
And how can things change if they aren't questioned? It seems to me you're going against your own atheistic nature here.
Really? Prove that's what happens. Prove it. I want to see an account of someone who was there and examined what happened to the matter. Ah, how foolish of me, no one has done that yet.It seems to me that you're not making any sense.
"When a nuclear explosion occurs, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE GROUND AND BUILDINGS AND TREES AND PEOPLE AND ANIMALS? THEY ARE GONE."
They've been vaporized. Vaporized means they've been turned into gas. Gas is still made of atoms and is still a form of matter, so matter has been made SMALLER, but has NOT been destroyed.
"We're disputing it now, so you've just lied. It has been disputed."
By someone not even old enough to be in college.
You want to talk to someone who has split atoms?Really? Prove that's what happens. Prove it. I want to see an account of someone who was there and examined what happened to the matter. Ah, how foolish of me, no one has done that yet.
So I'm less intelligent because I'm 14?
I want to talk to someone who's watched a nuclear explosion and the effects personally. Right there. With a microscope. Who's done it?You want to talk to someone who has split atoms?
Well I don't know any of these nuclear physicists personally, but I highly doubt they'd be interesting in trying to prove something that is blatantly obvious to you.
And you're wrong, they HAVE seen sub-atomic particles, that;s how we know they exist. We can SEE them.
It doesn't make you less intelligent, but it does make you less educated.
Tell me, do you go to a public high school?
Go ask your science teacher on Monday about the 1st Law of Thermodynamics, because you don't seem to want to take the truth from me.
You're home schooled, aren't you?\I want to talk to someone who's watched a nuclear explosion and the effects personally. Right there. With a microscope. Who's done it?
I am not in a public school, sorry.
I would worship him even if there was no reward in the coming life, because there is a reward in living the present life.First of all, and I mean no offense, I don't believe you.
I'm a psychology major.
There is not one thing a person does in his/her entire life that is NOT selfish or based on an outcome for you.
With no hope of a reward, humans don't perform.
It's a simple fact.
If there was no need for a god and no eternal life, why would you worship? Could god even be said to exist then?
I can honestly say that what scares me most is death. I'm scared to death of death, so...Christianity looks very appealing.I am a 4th year psychology student(yeah, I'm also an atheist but that has nothing to do with my paper), and I'm currently writing a paper on religious belief.
I just have a few questions that I hope some of you would be kind enough to answer.
Okay, lets say that for whatever reason, you begin to have doubts about your faith. Does the idea that there is no God frighten you?
Why does it frighten you?
OR
Why does it NOT frighten you?
Edit: To be clear, this is like a yes or no question plus a short justification.
What I am asking you to do is to PRETEND that it's possible that god does not exist and then tell me how you would feel about god not existing.
Thanks.
I would really appreciate you helping me out.
Have yourselves a nice day.
I know that most historians assert that the bible is NOT to be taken as a literal, historical text.
I know all about the formations, the councils, the guys who 'put the bible together'.
But the believers of Odin, Zeus and Allah have just as much evidence as you and they think it points to THEIR god.
And you WOULD think that the evidence points to your god, you have reason to. You have a psychological need for your god to exist.
Hi again Key.Well I for one, after reading 18 pages of this, now have enough evidence to support two claims.
1: This is not an Honest Question, if it was, then the OP would not be debating with everyone here. This is an agenda driven question, in vain hope to support some supposed hypothesis.
2: The OP most likely is not a Psychology Major in any fashion. The nature and missinfroamtion proposed in their posts, reeks of little more then message board Atheist seeking to try and debate Christians on this subject.
The sad part is, this type of tripe is rampant in GA, and if the OP really was what they claimed to be, I would have expected far better info and responses, if nothing else, at least better language skills to explain a point, or points.
And the truly sad part of all this, is that the OP can not read the rules regarding posting in QBNC, IE: This is not a debate forum. So I am not sure how respect for their opinions, or study can be given, when they can not read something as simple as the posting rules.
Now, here is where I would expect the OP to post some kind of junk about having the right to debate and things like that, in this forum, which would only prove to substantiate my original claim, Point 2.
Now.
As sad as what I have seen erupt, I would like to say, blessings to all the Brothers and Sisters here, who have tried to answer this question truthfully. Bless you all for trying.
With all that said and done, I wish you all the best.
God Bless
Key
Really? Most historians? Have you taken a poll? Please provide some proof of this assertion.
I wouldn't waste my precious life at a seminary.You know "all about" them? Wow! You're a regular biblical scholar! What seminary did you attend?
How is it unsupported?Unsupported statements like this just erode your point. When you make declarations like this it is necessary to provide proof; otherwise, these declarations appear to be merely your opinion.
Thank you, doctor. May I get off the couch now?
What exactly do you mean by "psychological need"?
Peace to you.
