Title: God exists!!
Post by: katiebam on March 02, 2010, 06:46:16 PM
I'm doing a school project where i have to discuss with others the existence of God.  :D

Every cause in this world has an effect. The universe is an effect and therefore has an ultimate cause. That ultimate cause is God. Everything has a purpose and a design. It wasn't created randomly. Just like our DNA, it is complex and proves there is a complex design.  The world didn't just poof into exestence, it has an ultimate creator.  Just like in irreducable complexity with a mouse trap, every part is needed in order to function and work. Just like this, everything has a design and purpose which screams out that there is a designer.

Nothing to discuss, as there isn't one. So good luck with that.

QuoteEvery cause in this world has an effect.

You know this how?
QuoteThe universe is an effect

You know this how?
Quoteand therefore has an ultimate cause.

You know this how?
QuoteThat ultimate cause is God.

Whoa! Jumping to conclusions already!
QuoteEverything has a purpose and a design. It wasn't created randomly.

Again, You know this how?
QuoteJust like our DNA, it is complex and proves there is a complex design.

So, is your god complex? Would he then not have to have been designed as well? Do you see yet where this is going?
QuoteThe world didn't just poof into exestence, it has an ultimate creator.

Did this ultimate creator just poof into existence? If not, was he just always there, waiting for...well, nothing to happen until he was bored enough to create everything? If you're willing to believe there is a being that has always existed, then why would it be hard for you to believe that other things might have always existed, like the whole universe?
QuoteJust like in irreducable complexity with a mouse trap, every part is needed in order to function and work. Just like this, everything has a design and purpose which screams out that there is a designer.

Well, no. Every part is needed for the universe to do what it does now, which just happens to conform to your purposes for it, as a living human being. If it weren't doing that, it would be doing something else, perhaps not so much to our liking. We're just lucky that way.

But for some reason, they changed their time and now they're showing it at night! Weekly EXCEPT FRIDAYS, so that I can have a night out without worrying Id miss an episode.
If that isn't proof, I donno what is

I find it disheartening that so many here disbelieve in the almighty. Everything she posted is true.

I'm sure that the FSM in his great starchy wisdom would be disapointed by the lack of faith.

RAmen.

The argument posted for the existence of God is the argument of the missing middle (the Universe has a cause therefore the cause is God), but the members of this forum have degraded a philosophical debate into a heckling contest. The argument poses no threat to your world-view and can be deconstructed by philosophical enquiry so the point of this childish behaviour is lost on me. Once again intelligent discussion has been drowned out by the cackling of gulls.

strike one

you aren't a moderator, students come to haf all the time posting class assignments then never return and there is no reason for anyone to waste their time unless the student demonstrates real interest.

They are either in the same class or they are the same person...IP match.

PLEASE TELL YOUR TEACHER TO QUIT SENDING STUDENTS TO HAF!

the ip's are a match?

what kind of class gives people the assignment of debating the existance of god anyway?
Title: Re: God exists!!
Post by: Whitney on March 02, 2010, 10:11:40 PM
I'm locking this topic because there is no argument to respond to "poof" isn't very intellectual and any teacher who is allowing you to use that in your argument shouldn't be teaching.

If you are able to form a real argument you can post again but if it has no more thought put into it than your OP then I'll lock that thread too.
