I like the message here about putting away ego's and learning from others but you think a invisible "god"that has not been proven what so ever would help educate a single human til they became successful in there goals?When was the last time your "god" came down from the sky and gave some advice.

There's no proof that God DOESN'T live. He speaks through the scriptures and His prophets. The LDS General Conference starts today and continues through tomorrow. You can pull it up if you want to better understand.

you saying there is no proof god exist frustrates me.I could go into a rant about this and how there is none but I won't,I just have one question for you,what do you know about evolution?

The common sense argument against evolution: Computers don't occur in nature. So how can we believe that the human brain, and the complexities of DNA sequencing, are organized by random chaos? I find the idea that we formed from a lucky streak spanning billions of years to be more far-fetched than Creation.

The scientific argument against evolution:
* Scientists and Christians can agree that plants appeared before animals, and aquatic animals appeared before land animals. But that doesn't mean evolution from one class to another.
*The original Neanderthal skeleton studied by Boule has more recently been shown to have been a human deformed by arthritis.
*There's no denying that microevolution occurs. Humans share a common ancestry, but are quite ethnically diverse today. We observe mutations in bacteria all the time. But the minor horizontal shifts of MICROEVOLUTION don't mean the vertical upheavals of macroevolution.
*Science is based on observation, right? No one is observing macroevolution today. For example, there are canines and felines, but there is no cafeline link between the two orders.
*If we take the fossil record at face value, macroevolution hasn't occurred in the past either. According to Darwin, the fossils should present a line of indistinguishable, transitional forms in the process of evolving. But they don't. It's not just a case of one missing link. Whole sections of the chains of life are missing.
*According to DNA, cows are more closely related to dolphins than horses. In Darwin's theory, that doesn't make any sense. But in Creationism, we find the answer: Genes are the building blocks that God uses to build life forms. The animal kingdom doesn't share a common ancestry--just a common Creator.
*The second law of thermodynamics says that a closed system will naturally degenerate into simplicity and chaos. Even an open system requires some kind of intelligent programming in order to become more complex.

In summation, macroevolution has no scientific basis; just people desperately clinging to their faith in atheism....a faith built on the Wishful Thinking fallacy.

Out of curiosity, just what would you consider definitive proof that God lives? Finding His cursive signature on the moon? You would just rationalize it away as a hoax, or as an incredible coincidence of natural formation. You're not going to find God in a laboratory or telescope. The first step is humility and open-mindedness.

Your seriously going with these arguments?Look If you normally act like this online I can guarantee that you have gotten a real response. I wrote this long response but then my computer died and I don't feel like writing it all over so here's my advice,find a reliable non biased source to tell you about science,my suggestion is there's a great show called Cosmos on Netflix that explains it well and our current understanding of science.Sorry I did not rewrite the whole thing and to answer your question reliable proof disproving evolution like finding a dog fossilize from 4.4 billion years ago which should be impossible or a clear sign like an angel coming to earth. and now a question for you, when presented with evidence that goes against your religion how do you react, do you dismiss the evidence,do you look at it trying to see a way to alter it?

How does science and evolution explain the origin of life? Where did the first life come from?

Evolution does not explain the origin of life,just how it adapts and changes.Some scientist believe that the first cells came about through the right mix of minerals and heat.Some believe we came from space ice,truly at the time we don't fully know where we came from ,but that's one thing that drives science is questions.We look at the evidence and interpret it.With Christianity you have a answer but it's an answer with no proof.I would like you to give me real proof of god,the christian god.

I can only tell you that the first chapter of Romans says that the entire creation is proof. How could there be a creation without a creator? It even defies logic. Therefore, every single person is going to be without excuse. Contrary to there being NO proof, everything is proof. But you will never be able to know God by demanding proof. That's what they did when they crucified Jesus. They mocked and said "If you're the son of God, come down from the cross and we will believe you." So you won't believe even if someone gives you proof.

I was looking for scientific proof,not a reference to the bible.I and most other atheist that I am aware of see the Bible as only a book.Bringing something from a text that claim's to be true but has no real world backing is not evidence.Saying everything is proof and only using the bible as your source is not reliable.And yeah if you gave me real proof and not a reference to a book that was written well over 2000 years ago I would believe you but you have not given this proof.

IronJustice, there was no "reply" link on your latest comment (below), so that's why I'm replying here. I appreciate what you wrote. This website and these tiny comment fields seem hardly the place, though. If you'd like to correspond with me, I invite you to write me at mazoonist [at] gmail [dot] com.

You will never get any proof. And you can't approach it that way. Just doesn't work that way, sorry. But if you ever do humble yourself and do it the right way, you will know in your heart that it's true. Meanwhile, nice talking to ya. By the way, I used to think like you do, so I understand.

Listen it was nice to hear another point of view ,I appreciate you doing this but still I question.Saying that you can't approach it in a scientific way or in any other then the way suggested undermines evidence and years of scientific study's.Even from a basic information stand point the belief in really any religious is illogical . There have been thousands of religions in human history,all believing in different gods and ways of life.The only difference with Christianity is it came more quickly and spread to more people.It imprinted itself in ancient Europe and spread from there.It was a good enough explanation for the time but now we know other wise. Through science we have discovered tons of evidence leading to different ideas about the world.Perhaps it is not I who need's humbling,according to your religious the entire world was created for humans while in science we know we adapted and evolved to live in the world and it did not do so for us.In science we have provided evidence for our theory's and beliefs but in Christianity most ignore the evidence for evolution or the big bang and act blissfully ignorant to the evidence.A question for you,If you thought like me and saw that most if not all religion had no truth to it and science had evidence what changed your mind?

So put away my self-interest for a fairy tale? Sounds reasonable.
