God = Magic = a lazy excuse to not think.
Challenge to atheists = Challenge to normal people.
Belief in God is the only logical explanation for the universe = MAGIC is the only logical explanation for the universe.
What if every scientist invoked supernatural magic whenever a scientific problem was difficult to solve? What if Darwin gave up and invoked magic? What if Einstein gave up and invoked magic? What if Newton gave up and invoked magic?
Oh wait, Newton did give up and invoke magic (or what lazy superstitious people call God). After successfully explaining how our planet could orbit the sun despite the influence of our moon, he gave up after trying to consider the influence of the other planets on our earth's orbit. He gave up and invoked his god fairy's magic wand.
Newton was brilliant. He could have solved his problems but he was too quick to give up. He just said "god did it, that's the only possible explanation."
One century later another scientist solved all of Newton's problems without the god hypothesis.
Do you get my point? Do you still think your laziness is a good idea?
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
-- Charles Darwin
If the history of science teaches us anything, it is that what conquers our ignorance is research, not giving up and attributing our ignorance to the miraculous work of a creator.
-- Jerry Coyne
Science is a philosophy of discovery, intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance.
-- Neil deGrasse Tyson

I have to stop reading your links. I might start believing that humans did not in fact evolve from smaller-brained apes.
ReplyDeleteCalling augustine1 a god-soaked moron was being too nice. He or she made no effort to understand anything I wrote. The whole point of his challenge to normal people was to waste other people's time. Typical Christian tard.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of this asshole's shit-filled article:
ReplyDelete"In a random undirected universe there could be no universal laws of physics or mathematics, only dumb chance. 2+2=4 next year might equal 5."
Fuh.
King.
WOW.
This is the type of asshole who doesn't realize that by inventing "god", they're just pushing back the "why?" question by one degree. To every "why?" this asshole asks, his answer is "god". OK, who is god? Where does god come from? Why did god do things this way? No answers. Or bullshit answers like "We cannot know" or, at best, "We'll find out when we are with god" which of course is not an answer but a bullshit promissory note from these assholes.
