Most are questions that have been answered by people who didn't say "God did it." Have you thanked a scientist today?
Because LaPlace still holds sway.

Scientists? They're all crazy.

Is this a drive-by trolling? I see the guy hasn't been back to talk about this.
A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

Quote from: \"the_antithesis\"Faith says, "I believe this and I don\'t care what you say, I cannot possibly be wrong." Faith is an act of pride.

Hope I answered some of your questions for you!! :3

Teaspoon Shallow

A wall of questions based on ignorance is not going to get you many answers is it?

Try a simple one that may give you insight to others opinions and experience.
Like:
With the fabrication of thousands of deities, why do you think yours is true?
Can you provide supporting proof and evidence for that?

There is two simple questions for you.  Will you answer them?

Colanth

He'll probably respond to them, but not with answers.

Davka

Shin, you need to do some reading up on the concept of Argument from Ignorance.

"I don't understand X, therefore God" is a logical fallacy, and that's all your questions really add up to. There are thousands of such 'proofs' being repeated in the Christian world, but there's a serious problem with this line of reasoning (aside from the whole "logical fallacy" thing, that is) - over the past couple of centuries, theists have trotted out all sorts of "science cannot answer this, therefore god" arguments, only to have their argument refuted when science discovered the answers to these previously unknown areas of reality. Oddly enough, instead of saying "huh, well I guess I was wrong," the typical Christian response has been either to drop the question and pretend they never asked, or to ignore the answer and keep pretending the question has not been answered.

Examples:
"Where are the transitional fossils?" Um - everywhere.
"If whales evolved from land-dwelling mammals, how come we don't have the fossil record of their evolution?" Because we weren't looking in the right place. Recently a treasure-trove of fossils has been uncovered, which spell out cetacean evolution in remarkable detail. But this new discovery has had no impact whatsoever on those who framed the question, because the point of an Argument from Ignorance is not to make a point, but to attempt to discredit the opposition.

Which is all Shin's questions are - attempts not to get answers, but attempts to discredit lack of belief - even though some of them are phrased in such a way that there can't be an answer for them.
