Scientific Evidence of God

Topspin, if you would like to be the next pinhead who has the dubious honor of making my ignore list, just continue posting the empty insulting comments. I am here to discuss the issues and have intelligent debate, not to try and out-juvenile the nitwits.

your a moron, I'd consider it an honor to be on your ignore list.
All you do is call liberals pinheads, act like religion is science and other things that would embarass Bama.:good4u:

No I call pinheads pinheads, doesn't matter what political affiliation they have. It just so happens most of them are liberal and most liberals are pinheads. I don't act like religion is science, I have never made any such statement. In fact, I have gone out of my way to explain I do not endorse or support any particular religious belief, and my argument has nothing to do with organized religion.

And let me tell you something else, it would take a fucking helluva lot to embarrass a state like Alabama, considering their past. I don't think I have crossed that line, and I doubt I ever could live up to the embarrassment of George Wallace and Bull Connor.

On the topic of putting you on ignore... As I stated in a thread yesterday, I have implemented a new "board policy" regarding my own personal "above the fray" project, and pinheads who can't seem to find a way to talk about the thread topic, who can't seem to post anything but petty name-calling and personal insults, will be put on ignore and "banned" from my forum. I am no longer going to waste my time with you people. You contribute nothing to the debate, and I don't need to read your hate-filled vile and obnoxious insults. So, if that sounds like an honor for you to be among the empty headed nitwits who grace my ignore list, just keep hurling the insults, you'll make it there.

Atheists often suggest there is no scientific evidence of God, and that theory can't even be entertained because it lacks the testable observations required for a hypothesis. I think this is a total load of crap, espoused by fools....

The belief in God is scientific proof of God. Sure, dixie... :rolleyes:
 
Dixie your below zero, an embarrassment to bama and the south. I'd be honored to be on your ignore list you scared bitch.
You start nearly every thread with a liberal insult. I'm a liberal and would gladly whoop your ass in public would you be man enough to say that shit in person. So go ahead and keep insulting the libs scared to fight back. This one is not scared at all, especially from a physch degreed tool who's living in the past.

In a sense, yes. The inherent nature of human spirituality, the connection mankind has had with spirituality throughout civilized history, the fact that 95% of all humans worship something to this day... that all means something. The fact that spirituality hasn't fallen by the wayside like old superstitions, that millions of people realize a deep-seated fulfillment from worship, that millions of people report positive results from having a strong personal faith, that wars and oppression, religious persecutions and death, has not stopped mankind from worshiping. These things mean something, and are relevant to the debate.

Now, I never claimed there was "scientific proof of God" those are your words. Science doesn't "prove" things, it only provides evidence, man draws conclusions of proof. But mankind's ever-present inclination to worship, is indeed an indicator this is an important aspect to our species. People with an unbiased scientific mind can understand this, I don't expect you qualify.

You've lost the intellectual debate so resort to physical threats.

It's a ridiculous argument with no merit.

You are right, faith isn't science. This is exactly why I presented scientific evidence of God, it is more powerful than faith to some. I don't believe I have absconded my own branch of science, can you explain that assertion? What do you mean by "YOUR science?" My science is the same as everyone else, it is universal. Science doesn't conclude, man concludes. Science only provides evidence, and that is what I presented, the evidence.

Animal behavior is science, and what I presented is observed phenomenon documented in science, pier reviewed, published in science journals, and meeting every criteria we require for something to be scientific. The only attempted explanation for why humans exhibit spirituality is they fear the unknown, but that is a speculation, and one that doesn't hold to scrutiny.

Taking the approach we take in science on virtually everything else, we must conclude that human spirituality is a fundamentally important behavior for the species. Being true to science, we must continue to ask, why is it fundamentally important to the species? There is the distinct possibility that human spirituality is important because there is something to it. Ochm's Razor says, when you have a reasonable explanation for something, that is most likely the reason. Just putting two and two together, science doesn't PROVE there is a God, it just gives us the evidence, MEN conclude.

except that you have not provided scientific evidence of God. You stated in your original post that species will discard anything that does not have a purpose. For most species this is going to hold true. But not for humans. The difference is our cognitive ability. We CARE about HOW things work and WHY. Most other species care about survival, caring for their young etc... they don't care (at least not the we know of) about WHY things work or HOW they work. Early man exhibited the same behavior. Caring only about survival, protecting their own etc...

It was when man first started to wonder about WHY and HOW things worked that religion took hold. 'miracles' and 'God(s)' were used to explain things we did not understand at the time. We still use the words 'supernatural' and 'miracle' to explain things that we don't understand.

I am agnostic... so I am not saying that God does/does not exist, but science most certainly has not provided any evidence one way or the other.

Please show me the data where you got '95% of all humans worship something'. I assume by 'something' you mean 'a God or Gods' or something like that, correct?

You can and frequently make me laugh, trying to make me pray would be that much more hillarious from a sheman like you southerntool.

I wouldn't make you do anything, other than stop whatever intentions that I could reasonably glean from your behavior.

Again, what does "LOFL" mean?
