    Drink this is clearly PT worthy. Only chance half this forum has of finding a winner is getting on their knees and praying to the one and only, hence gambling related. Everyone's system has to change if someone can prove god doesn't exist.

    ok think about it like this and I hope this post makes you at least think about God

    ok so bear with me... we have scientist and developers that can come up with anything now... touch screen phones where a device knows what you want it to do by touching the screen. we can send a spaceship to space with people in it... but Never not once in the world has an atom ever been created...

    all matter in the world is made up of atoms... everything has atoms in it... so you mean to tell me that we can send people to space but can create a simple atom that makes up everyhting in the world?

    so my question is where did the first atom come from? someone had to create it... right? so who created it? you cant answer that
    Did this thought process come about due to the "god particle"? (There are many a theory on where the first atom came from. Theory, because it's science - and they can never proclaim something like that anything more than a theory, as it is impossible to prove thus not fact).

    Also, I have faith that there is no god. Same conceptual faith that you have there is a god.

    I was raised catholic, have a catholic pendant around my neck (maybe when I die, people will presume I'm catholic?), but I have never freely practiced or believed as does this church or any other church.

    You see, I find immense comfort in the idea that this life that I currently have is it. I am not living to get into some magical place, nor am I living to avoid some terrible place. I am not living so my next life is better... you get the point - you got one life. That is it. One consciousness. Anything before or after doesn't matter, and as far as I am concerned doesn't exist.

    So, you see - I have faith, a very strong faith, that there is no god. It's fantastic.

    Until the very last line.

    I do not have the strongest faith that nothing else exists. But I ain't taking any chances in this one guaranteed life for what may or may not happen once its over.

    Religion is the oldest form of control, the Elite have used, to rule over you peasants...............

    The Elite no longer need to use religion.........

    This is the very reason they are in the process of eliminating it from society,1st through education, then the source itself.........

    I may not be right. I'm just curious. I don't play poker, chat with TT, read his posts at other forums or call his house. I only read what he writes here. Lots of guys piling on lately, I was just wondering why. I never saw the video so maybe that would fill in some blanks but from my limited perspective it seems like a lot of sheep just following the shepherd. That's why I was asking for clarification.

    out of all the posts directed at you, you choose that one to address?

    How about addressing some of the others. This isn't about evolution and your simply using it as a Strawman argument.

    Why not address Muldoons post? I think his is worded best and is representative of a number of posters response to your earlier post.

    go look up the epic of gilgamesh and see how similar an older pagan religion's story is to noah's ark.

    I struggle terribly with this issue

    I see the miracle of a mother giving birth, the complexity of the human mind, the beauty of The Blue Ridge Mountains and think...there must be a God

    Then I see pics of ttwarrior and read his posts and think...alas there cannot be

    bc Christianity is based on faith... thats just how it is like it or not

    Science is based on facts. thats how that is

    If you dont believe in God then you must believe in some kind of science theory... which cant be explained... which is science and if you cant explain it you cant say that it happend...

    Christians are faith... they believe things that cant be explained... its simple man... its not a cop out and i never claimed I can prove God is real... scientist on the other hand believe if you cant prove it then its false...

    What it basically comes down to for me is that this world that everything works together... the bees polinate the flowers... that give off the oxygen... that we breath in and we breath out the carbon dioxide that the plants take in through photo synthesis... the trees that grow that supply the food for the animals that we eat... all that is a coincidence and some higher power which I believe is God... YOu think all that is a coincidence? come on now

    Do I think that there is some entity that has no physical form that magically created all of this?

    If you told religion to an alien, they'd lock you up in their version of an insane asylum.

    My guess is that for the TT video to exist one must have the same blind faith required for God's existence.

    There's a really popular image on the internet, that depicts two men pondering over the functionality of magnets. I believe it should be posted here.
