It was a clip from the movie Splash!, of Darryl Hannah playing a mermaid from an 80s film in response to your comment there is no proof of mermaids. ;-)

I can't prove a mermaid exists because there is no evidence that suggests such, just as there is evidence for dogs, horses. So based on "evidence", I can say that horses dogs do exist. Note, this is based on "evidence" and not proof. Confusing yes, but what I am saying is that we all make our everyday judgements on what's real and not real based on evidence, not scientific proof. If I say I have a dog and show you my dog, no-ones going to ask me to prove it's a dog, evidence suggests it's a dog.

Very stupid argument but at the end of the day, people want "proof" of God, I say nothing can be proven, but we can look at the "evidence" and what does it point too?

I mean evidence suggests we are having this conversation, but still it can't be proven.

I believe, good sir, that you have started to out-think yourself.

No sir, I am actually thinking.

I believe that you believe that you're being philisophical when in fact you've simply discarded common sense.

If a dog is standing in front of you then a dog is indeed standing in front of you. It does exist. No amount of philisophical babble will change that.

It's the same as if God was standing in front of you. Except that he never is and never will be.

If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., Materialism and Astronomy - are mere accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset. C.S. Lewis

Someone once said that if you sat a million monkeys at a million typewriters for a million years, one of them would eventually type out all of Hamlet by chance. But when we find the text of Hamlet, we don't wonder whether it came from chance and monkeys. Why then does the atheist use that incredibly improbable explanation for the universe? Clearly, because it is his only chance of remaining an atheist. At this point we need a psychological explanation of the atheist rather than a logical explanation of the universe. Peter Kreeft

If God were small enough to be understood, He would not be big enough to be worshiped.

God exist whether or not men may choose to believe in Him. The reason why many people do not believe in God is not so much that it is intellectually impossible to believe in God, but because belief in God forces that thoughtful person to face the fact that he is accountable to such a God.

I am just showing you that time, heat & pressure can turn coal to diamonds naturally just like time, heat & pressure can turn particles to the masterpiece that is human. It's possible that it was god but when you get down to it Occam's Razor suggests it's probably going to be natural cause & effect

Occam's razor states that one should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything, however, the simple theory must be able to account for or explain what needs explaining. It's not enough to have a simpler theory if you can't account for anything. Though we shouldn't add entities beyond what's needed, we also should not subtract entities beyond what's needed.

You really should be banned. You are pushing your beliefs on others and condeming others.

Well what kind of proof are you after that God exists. Love, hate, good, evil, justice, dignity cannot stand in front of you or be put in a test tube but I guarantee that they are real and cannot be proven.

 

[HevyDevy]

The problem, Stiffy, is that all of those quotes were written by believers.

But let's be fair for a moment. I have no problem with people believing if that's what they need to do to feel good about death and so forth.

What I can't fathom is why anyone would follow a religion. They are all clearly bullsh*t - surely you would just be happy in your own beliefs and be done with it?

Any proof would be fine Snoochies. I don't need a particular type.

Still, even the most admirable of atheists is nothing more than a moral parasite, living his life based on borrowed ethics. This is why, when pressed, the atheist will often attempt to hide his lack of conviction in his own beliefs behind some poorly formulated utilitarianism, or argue that he acts out of altruistic self-interest. But this is only post-facto rationalization, not reason or rational behavior. Vox Day
