You can't prove god and you can't disprove it. State your belief and fuck off.

While that sounds all good and peachy in theory, there are so many separate arguments dealing with the issue that it would be impossible to ram them all into one thread. Just the last section of my OP can easily become a separate thread.

Those of you who don't enjoy the discussion or find it annoying - don't let me keep you here a moment longer

Sigh....What "one thread"?
I have read your post, but my comment really isn't a reflection of any of your points. I would just like to hear you argue this point. This isn't me arguing with you I merely want to hear your argument.

When you see a painting you know there had to be a painter.
When you see a building you know there was a builder.
When you see humans you know there is a creator.

Again, this is just for my amusement.

You mean evolution?
You have to go back further than that for your belief to have any real credibility against science.
I'm pretty much indifferent to people of all religions and creeds up until they try and act superior to me based on their beliefs or belittle my own.

If a follower of any of the Abrahamic religions had made an equivalent thread to this one, it likely would have ended in trolling, flaming, and a big fat lock.

<Tapion> Salmon is nice fish
no, this has nothing to do with my beliefs or anything. I've just heard this comment and want to hear what odlov's argument would be.

When i see a mountain i know there was a mountain-builder! :B
To save typing space, here are your answers. One short, one longer:

40 second video
4 minute video

We know full well how and by whom paintings and buildings are made, and we can even infer specific facts about them by analyzing style and paint chemistry.

On other hand, if the paint was made of organic microbes who could reproduce and mutate (and a specific painting was a state which increased microbes chance of survival) then they would arrange themselves into said painting over time. This, of course, is an analogy of evolution.

Is my OP disrespectful in any way? Did i call someone bad names?
Hmmm....Seems to me all i did was present the arguments.
If you can't contain your butthurt, there are numerous other threads you may turn your attention to.

Np Im kinda hoping that with the amount of time you put into the first post, this might become a sort of mega thread where all the less planned "god" threads end up...that would be nice.

But I do also see sproojs point that a pro god thread would most likely have been locked by now, and that is a tad unfair. But, meh, its the internet, things arent fair here.

Also, Torzila, aye, that's just a catchy phrase someone came up with. Your best bet for getting a decent argument going is to try to prove that god is somehow responsible for science and the things it has shown us. I can't do it, but that would do the trick certainly.

I'm offended :' (
Such a thing wouldn't happen under my watch.
I'd never close a thread which puts forth some arguments for existence of god - nor any thread which advocates position i don't like.

Well, and ultimately that is the reason they get closed. Because all of the arguments used are less than founded. And if its any help, the thread I am thinking of wasnt closed by you anyway.

Correction: i wouldn't close any thread with arguments for god.
Even arguments i deem weak or invalid.

But, enough of that.
