Atheist/non-religious thread

Big Bang cannot be proven. Is why it is calked a theory. Can't be proven becsuse it can't be replicated. Belief in Big Bang requires faith, so it's basically a religion, not science. Just because scientists believe it, claim it and teach it does not make it science.

well actually, scientists believing it because they have looked at all evidence and ruled a lot of things out is science. Everything in science is a theory. Even gravity, even though we all pretty much know it is a thing. That is not the same as a religion, which requires blind faith based on centuries old anecdotal "evidence".

I don't believe in Heaven, or Hell. I believe in Reincarnation.

I'm sure it will mellow down eventually! The LGBTQ+ thread was a debate thread before it eventually became the gays talk about chickens thread

That's true! Ok, I will be here when we can all just talk safely and not have rocks thrown at us

Well, that's what makes Him God. He is the self-existant One. He has always existed. And since He is God and we are not, our punt little brains cannot comprehend Him. As a goldfish cannot comprehend the horse that comes to drink from its pond.

Could not the first atoms be "self-existant"?

I just can't understand how he existed though. I mean I know you said we can't comprehend him. I just want to know why and how

Well, according to a christian family member, animals don't have an afterlife anyways

And how do they know that?

Overall I am curious. When I see a "Christian chicken lovers thread" I do not click it. Because I am not christian. So all you christians on here I am genuinely wondring, when you see a NON CHRISTUAN RESPIRITUAL THREAD, why do you click it knowing full well that does not describe you? Ever think maybe people just want to hang out virtually with like minded folk, and not have the same debates they have in theiur real lives on a regular basis? Just some food for thought. If you want to learn, just read.

yeah it can....matter cannot be created or destroyed. Ipso facto, the same atoms just always have been, and always will be.

Hmm. According to science, matter can neither be created nor destroyed. I agree it cannot be created by HUMANS. But somebody created it, or it wouldn't exist. It didn't create itself. Even scientists agree that nothing can come from nothing. Ex nihilo nihil fit.

If man was able to pervert it, then it was never perfect to begin with. Which means god is not perfect.
When I bring my chickens into this world through incubation, I am literally their god. I selected their egg and everything.... anything that goes wrong is my fault. You can’t create something imperfect and then blame the creation - it’s the fault of the creator. I have a chicken that keeps eating eggs and is being a real jerk - but I’m not going to set it on fire and then magically make it so that it doesn’t die and has to burn for all of eternity. He could have made us a perfect paradise (like we strive to do with our chickens), but instead he made up some game that can only be played by drinking the symbolic blood of a 2000 year old god.... bc a woman made out of a rib was convinced by a taking snake to eat from a magical tree? Why couldn’t he just forgive us? Why send a hybrid man/god to the earth to be brutally murdered in the most horrific way imaginable? What standard was god being held to that that was the ONLY way? There’s someone above him making the rules?
That’s folklore - and we don’t need these beliefs anymore now that we know the sun will indeed rise every morning. Now that we know that weather is caused by atmospheric pressure changes and not the angry and vengeful hand of god. Now that we have medicine - we can replace superstition with science and use logic as our guidelines.
I love Science bc it changes its views and rewrites books based on changing evidence. Religion ignores evidence so that belief can be preserved.
This is my friendly rebuttle Please don’t mistake my tone as mocking or being a smart ass. These are my true feelings.

Very interesting point of view! The only way to take away the sin of man, was to send a man without sin. Jesus when on earth was fully God, and fully man (A very hard concept to grasp, but hey, we aren't so posed to understand how God does stuff all the way!) When God created us, he did not want the earth to be filled with robots who just worshipped him and did his every will without a mind of their own, instead, he made people in his own image, with advanced power of reasoning, feelings, and advanced decisions. He gave Adam and Eve a choice, to obey him, and live in perfect fellowship with God, or eat the fruit, thus disobeying and becoming sinful. God told them not to, but it wasn't impossible for them. God does all things for his glory, and to draw more People to him, he knew the fall would happen, and had a plan. Satan (Lucifer was his name as an angel) , like Adam and Eve (but before) was given a choice, he wanted to be more powerful than God, so he sinned, and God made a place for him, Hell. Many other angels followed him and became demons. Satan has many guises, and is depicted as a serpent in the garden.God doesn't just automatically forgive every single person on earth, that would be like forcing someone to exept a present. Instead, he offers a free gift of his forgiveness to everyone, some take it, some do not. Gods love is reflected in the way he gives us choices, and the bible, his holy word, helps us to make decisions.

What causes the anotmic pressure changes?

It's natural happenings.
