Rather than posting my view in the other thread, I thought it best ask what is the general consensus.
So, over-ruling higher body or crock of......?

I don't believe in him.

Which one?

WTF are you on about?
I AM GOD.

No, but that doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

I believe your spelling is letting you down.

Yeah,
there are higher powers at play.

Creator God ... errmm ... delusional.
Gods - Yes & perhaps Vulcan (the one in Star Trek) too.

Roughly what RichPenny says. To believe in one means you've got to deny the existence of lots of others, which is just a bit disrespectful of the others really.
Posted 8 months ago # -
Yes I really do.

Don't believe, too much evidence against. I find it quite annoying how someone can preach religion on the street and people say oh well everyone's entitled to their opinion (which they are), but if then if someone was on the street preaching about atheism then people generally say it's disrespectful or offensive...

How can you believe in God when Its just Dog spelt backwards.

I don't believe in god... but where all of this 'stuff' came from to make the Universe and to allow for evolution is somewhat of a mystery.
Posted 8 months ago # -
Personally, I think naming something beyond our comprehension is a tad arrogant, but I certainly don't believe all this came from *nothing*.
I spose the simplest answer I can honestly give is 'yes', although my own beliefs are a lot more complex than that really.
too much evidence against
Interesting. Care to provide said 'evidence'?
Where's Woppit?

I guess he must be alright then, unless he/she/it takes the occasional crap on trail centre paths.

I quite like the idea of pandeism.

My 'evidence' being evolution and common ancestors, thus destroying the argument of intelligent design. I agree the big bang is a singularity but even that doesn't conform to the story of the bible so therefore I cant believe in God as the rest doesn't hold up...

One creator or many gods?
Even my Jewish mate said if there was one creator god then s/he must be rather cruel.

Big bang is a singularity? I think we are jumping to the conclusion too soon. Doubt our tiny minds are really that good to know that ...

It does not answer the unfathomable. If god made me/us/it who/what made god. Something came from nothing and at least we are here and have fairly good understanding of how that came to be that is far more credible than religious accounts.
Obviously you cant prove a negative.Posted 8 months ago # -

Is that important?
Free range or organic? I don't mind either

No
Posted 8 months ago # -
Definitely no god(s), but definitely stuff we don't (yet) understand.
So, best get on with making the most of the time you've got (or at the very least, try not to complain about it too much without good reason).
Stuff happens.
Of course, as an atheist I DO understand that what I think is still as much just a BELIEF system as is Christianity or Islam or Hinduism or Physics or etc.

It is very important... as Science can't tell us which came first... therefore where did the first 'common ancestor' come from...?
(I am a man of science, and I do not believe in god).

No. However, accepting that the big bang theory etc is right (and in an infinite universe, no way could be singular) the only question I have is how does anything exist? Not just humans, but the universe itself, and all it's component parts. That's a humdinger of a question for me
Posted 8 months ago # -
Pretending that we are in some way special is hugely arrogant. We're annoying, evil monkeys taking up a snapshot of existance on a bright little rock orbiting a small star at the edge of a small galaxy in a universe of infinate size.
SO I'd say no.
Plus, if there is a god, he's really messed things up. Not just 'oops I burned the lasagne' mess up but 'JESUS H CHRIST! - You created humans' sized cock up. What a knob!
If I met him I'd kick him in the chuff. And if Peter started, I'd chin him too.
Finally. If you do believe in god, how can you not spend your entire day grovelling around in the dirt worshipping him? I don't get it.
Either you believe in an almighty deity who can read your every thought and know your every feeling or you don't. The former could only have you prostrate for your entire life beating yourself silly with a cat O'nine tails for even looking sideways at a pretty girl. Unless of course you're choosing which bits you believe in. God can see that. And he will judge you, probably worse than the non-believers.

I believe that there was something more significant work in the creation of the universe than simply a vaguely explained explosion of sorts.
and I find that the suggestion that all life as we know it came from amoeba or other single-celled organisms via the rather 'random' process of evolution is somewhat demeaning and quite frankly ludicrous...
I cannot believe in something so 'incidental'...
I have plenty of time and patience to discuss this matter so feel free to contratict me
Posted 8 months ago # -
I couldn't care less if there's a god or not tbh. I'll just go on living my life as I've only got a finite amount of time to use, and sitting on my arse in a cold church seems an awful waste.
Or, to put it more succinctly... No.

My 'evidence' being evolution and common ancestors, thus destroying the argument of intelligent design.
I'm not a Christian. Intelligent Design is therefore irrelevant to me, although I do find it interesting, as I do all sorts of theories as to How and Why.
And evolutionary theory is just one tiny part of Humanity's attempts to understand stuff. Not the be all and end all.
In fact you jolly well have not actually disproved the existence of God at all, just postulated your own ideas rather than actual hard evidence.
So, have you actually got any real solid irrefutable evidence that God does not exist then?

Any evidence that s/he (God) does exist......?

How does knowing the 'common ancestor' of chicken important to our life?
Man of science ... hmmm ... to answer your question ... even until your turn carbon you will never find that answer of Chicken or Egg.
