1. That's not what atheism is.
2. The lack of a perfect other explanation is not proof of God.
3. The theory of intelligent design is full of holes too.

Explanations do not make one right. Many people have very long explanations, that does not prove anything.
The irony 😅

The verifiable, empirical facts ruled the day. And that is not the way Western philosophy has worked ever since the presocratic era.
That's still how it works, hence a book full of unbelievable stories isn't considered proof, but we do experiments and see what happens with our own eyes instead. That's how we know that seas don't split if someone raises their arms, food doesn't magically multiply by waving your hands over it and leprecy isn't cured by putting your hand in your cloak. It's truly baffling to me how people can read such things and think: "If someone wrote that down, it must have really happened. There is just no other explanation for that to be in a book."

Just like when you look at a building it is obvious there is a builder and when you look at a painting it is obvious there's a painter, when you look at nature and the creation it's obvious there's a creator.
No, it shows that plants spread pollen and took carbon dioxide from the air to grow, or that two animals had sex for a third one to be born. There is not even a sign of an external creator there, let alone it being obvious. This false equivalence only makes it obvious you don't understand biology.

How is Intelligent design full of holes?
In so many ways, but to name one example: look at how fragile the human body is. You can get paralyzed by one little disk in your spine shifting a quarter of an inch through a fall. The appendix has no function but does cause severe problems for some people. That's some pretty weird choices for a creator who had options beyond our wildest fantasies, isn't it?

The same old fallacies that have been disproven many times over and over again.
I don't think you really know anything about atheism or science. But that is ok, believe what makes your life seem worthwhile.

@Northwest Calling it a word salad is not an argument. It was not a word salad, as it is coherent and makes perfect sense. You're just too lazy to think and respond to it. There are people who really do speak word salads, like Jordan Peterson and Deepak Chopra where that term would be properly applied, however, I have seen that term word salad used many times incorrectly, excessively and broadly whenever the individual just doesn't like what the other person has said, which is why you're using it. Your question was answered and destroyed and you're pissed about that because you know that you have no refutation, so you have to just say word salad. Desperation isn't a good look on you. It's the same concept as people who just ascribe the word racist to anyone they disagree with when they don't have an actual argument.

Try again.

Unless it's a word salad. You're mixing up the metaphysical with the physical, not to mention that you decided that my use of the term God fits a specific template, and you went to town with it.

Wrong on every aspect.

Your question was answered and destroyed

Now you're assuming the roles of Jedi Master AND Don Quexote. The destruction is in your mind, but that's why people like you resort to word salads.

Yeah, it isn't a word salad, so you have no argument.

Word salads are a form of incoherent speech, they are empty and make no sense. Let me give you a couple of examples of a word salad:

"Your consciousness co creates positive silence"

"The secret of the universe self interacts with species specific energy"

"The unpredictable is mirrored in the expansion of reality"

"Your body differentiates into self-righteous neural networks"

Now you have some idea of what an actual word salad is.

Learn a couple of things about science, it might help you.

Complete projection. You are the one who needs to learn about real science, as you have been deceived by scientism or science falsely so called. You need to learn the different between real science and scientism.

So is heaven and hell the binary options as to how we spend eternity?

also, is God omnipotent?
No.

Your quotes are interesting and hilarious.

Very interesting stuff.

Whoa! Holy Moly...literally...

So with infinite time - wouldn't the odds of something happening become irrelevant?

I like the example of assembly of a 747 - apparently, that's how Boeing does it...

Intelligent design is a sign that the Divine does exist.

Atheism doesn't believe in anything to do with magic.


Religion does that.
@MethDozer A rare agreement

And NONE of it is provable.
