Get this. If you are an atheist how can you say there is no god. you have to believe that there is a God to try and convince People there are no god.
God Did not make atheists to convince people that there is no god. He made them to Prove that there is a god. And for that matter try this.
We are on earth. earth is in a solar system that is but a pin prick in the universe. The solar system is one of Millions in the universe and it is constantly expanding. Think about it. there are billions of planets in our solar system and millions of solar systems. HOW can there NOT be someone to create that?? We are less than a millionth of a pinprick in this universe???

"We are on earth. earth is in a solar system that is but a pin prick in the universe. The solar system is one of Millions in the universe and it is constantly expanding. Think about it. there are billions of planets in our solar system and millions of solar systems. "
How can someone look at the universe from a cosmic perspective (the human species is on a mote of dust), and come to the conclusion that a god exists and is interested in our species? That's a scary rationalization. And for the record, there are likely trillions of planets in the universe, trillions of solar systems in the universe, and definitely only a few planets in our own system.
"HOW can there NOT be someone to create that?? We are less than a millionth of a pinprick in this universe???"
How can someone appeal to ignorance after looking at the grandeur of physical laws and our insignificance of it all, when every religion stresses the importance of the human species as the central focus of a deity? Not to mention there is no evidence that god exists. The universe, if anything, seems indifferent. To us, it is a beautiful but also a violent place. Black holes can swallow entire star systems, and supernovas could wipe out other planets in nearby systems with a force much surpassing an atomic weapon. Entire galaxies can collide. It doesn't sound like something designed with any aim in mind. It just is.

That's definitely a good one LOL. :) It's funny how two people can look at the same thing and come to two completely different conclusions.
Her last paragraph, for example, about us being a pin prick in the universe... that's *one* of the reasons I cannot believe in any deity. I am not important enough to have been "created", or to have an all-powerful being concern himself with me, or have a special place for me to go after I die *because* I am no more than a pin prick. I am nothing to the universe.
So ya.. it just baffles me. Two similar observations, two completely different conclusions
Source(s): *sigh* why, when someone says something remarkably foolish and naive, does someone else invariably blame homeschooling? Some of us actually have our heads screwed on right :p - How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.

I am a SATANIST and i to say that you are too young to know all about our Solar system ,let alone what or who Created it!
As you were not around in the time of God or Jesus Christ,&
neither was i,and the Science of things have proven you wrong before and will again,and again,and again !!So from me to you,leave the Athiests alone as they are doing no-one any harm,it is i that has no time for fairy worshippers !!Such as Christians!!

I feel better knowing where I stand in this HUGE solar system, and I've been called worse than a millionth of a pinprick before, so it isn't soooo bad LOL.

I think Lize may have meant galaxy not solar system. Still a non sense argument.

Well, I acknowledge your sarcasm, but personally, I just find it pathetic. The fact is, I have not yet seen anything that even comes close to evidence for the existence of one or more gods. I will acknowledge them as useful metaphors, like other fictional characters, but I am convinced they have no more reality than Harry Potter. Less, in some ways.

I was dazzled also. So you have to believe the Earth is flat to try and convince people its round? And because we're small compared to other things there has to be something to make them.....
Truly, I am converted by the awesomly elegant logic of that argument.....
Oh wow.....I've just noticed....there are billions of planets in our solar system? Sounds rather crowded...we'd better have good insurance
- Anonymous1 decade ago
Wow! How... convincing? no thats not the word... sad? yeah that's it!
All along I thought that we had 9 planets until recently when we decided only 8 planets in our solar system. I must have missed something...

So, we are less than a millionth of a pinprick in this Universe, HOW could someone create this?
