Atheists and their lame arguments are turning me back to God.

Oh dear. Where do I even begin?
I (very recently) had discussions with a couple of people here on SW who, no doubt, think they're rather sophisticated when it comes to their understanding of the deeper philosophical issues, but who are nevertheless in all likelihood suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect.
One of them seems to believe that simply because a person happens to have degrees within a certain specialised field, that therefore must mean that he or she is an expert on everything else as well, and that we should feel embarrassed to question their dogmatic assertions, while the other one seems to genuinely believe that "nothing is real", which is so obviously wrong for so many reasons that I shouldn't have to state them here (but will if someone actually asks).
I recently watched a video that I thought was superb. Note: you have to watch the WHOLE video, or at least half of it, and not just the first few minutes.

brighter the light, the darker the shadow...

why do athiest care? youd think religion would be the absolute last topic theyd weigh in on...

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Yes, why do they care so much? That's something I haven't been able to figure out either. I mean, when I was an atheist (when I was in primary school) I couldn't have cared less if people believed in God. It just wasn't an issue.
How are they turning you back to god..

When I break down everything you are saying here, it isn't cohesive at all.. What information am I missing, it seems like a copy paste jobby that went wrong..

@LadyGrace Being neither a Christian nor an atheist doesn't make me a "troll". You do realise, don't you, that a person can be neither, right? Why do atheists always make the mistake of assuming that just because you're not one of them you simply must be a Christian? What is it with that?
@LadyGrace And another thing, I am free to change my mind you know, when the evidence warrants it. It's what intelligent people do.
A while back.

@BlueSkyKing We ALL believe in the value of evidence, so you're not unusual in that respect, but whenever an atheist demands evidence, and I ask, "Okay, so what would convince you, what kind of evidence do you seek?", they can never answer that question

I did answer: Objective evidence. Does lack of evidence help you seek a certain religion?

Dawkins was a biologist. My favorite book is Unweaving the Rainbow which came out many years before The God Delusion. It’s about science literacy and critical thinking much like Sagan’s Demon Haunted World. Neil de Grasse Tyson currently is doing the same.

I enjoy science and almost everyday I get to read something new. Religion relies on superstition. Don’t need it, don’t want it.

Note that most of the best selling atheist books were written as a personal response to 9/11. The arguments are still valid.

@BlueSkyKing “Lots of other scientists will recreate the exact conditions.”

What exact conditions are they? It is impossible to recreate exact conditions in a lab, and impossible for the process to occur in the same amount of time scientists said it did.

Let's use the example of abiogenesis: cells could not have come from nonliving compounds. How did cells survive? Scientists know the cells couldn't have survived, which is why they have to support them when trying to prove abiogenesis in a lab. They accelerate the process and they cheat. The earth was apparently full of rocks and lava, yet these incredible cells developed with purpose.Why is life the purpose of the planet? What made it so?
@emiliya This you should ask user Newjaninev2. She has best knowledge on the subject.

@BlueSkyKing Are you sure? She said life originated from organic compounds, not inorganic compounds. Does she know what abiogenesis is? I have found her answers vague and unimpressive.

Dumb video saying what he wants to hear. Our minds to transcend the practical but only by accident.
@HobNoblin "By accident". Sure. Everything that the die-hard materialists can't explain within the constraints of their dogma is "just a happy accident". 🙄🙄🙄
@Allelse Yes, that's what it says. What's your point?
