Correlation does not mean causation.
onenerdykidthey will all cut through the bullshit that religion clutters up the water with.

RedPandaGod isn't real.
DlCKSupersymmetry is an extension of the Standard Model that aims to fill some of the gaps. It predicts a partner particle for each particle in the Standard Model. These new particles would solve a major problem with the Standard Model
theabortionatorCool. Orange names mocking religion. Just when I thought NS was a safe place to share my views.

APSheWantsTheDThere's almost no education on religion in high school, at least in Minnesota. I definitely think religion should be kept as far away as possible from education in terms of it's influence on what is taught in other areas (like health class). But it would be nice to have a general understanding of the major religions.
DlCKI can assure you that there is a God. God exhists regardless of what you believe, and he still loves you.

shin-bangThank you for saying this. I can assure anyone else who is wondering too.
LonelyProve that God exists
Nikolausi really hope you're joking
LonelyProve that God exists
Nikolauson the off chance youre not a troll, will you shut the fuck up please? this entire thread is retarded. you dont need the bible to be moral. In fact, i seriously hope no one actually does get their morals from the bible. as to "orange names mocking religion," are you shitting me? religion is a very powerful force on ns. a little bit of criticism doesnt do shit and is totally okay. remember all the homophobia on here caused by religion. i dont remember you getting pissed by that.
Nikolausif there was, i bet a lot more people would be atheist
DlCKSince all existent things depend upon other things for their existence, there must exist at least one thing that is not dependent and so is a Necessary Being.
LonelyThat is a theory not a proof. Of you want to bring that kinda stuff into it they're is also the theory that everything is caused by something and they're is not necessarily a single catlyst. Therefore the big bang could have caused itself. Infinite continium
theabortionatorSo nothing always existed and was created by nothing because it's magic, and then spontaneously evolved from nothing into all the intricate pieces of our universe. We just happened to end up on a planet the perfect distance from the sun, with water and growing seasons that allow us to eat.
You could drop a bunch of 2x4's on the ground a billion times and and they're never going to build a house on their own. Even if there was something that magically existed how do you explain our universe as intricate as it is?

shotvetI don't know man, the Bible does have moral codes that I think most humans can agree on. For example the command to "love one another".
I will put in in layman's terms for your better understanding, "don't be an asshole"
would you agree that this is a good moral standard for most people to live by?

DlCKThe sequence of causes which make up this universe must have a First Cause.
theabortionatorOn the off off chance I'm not a troll you're going to say mean and hurtful things about my religion?
Cool.
"remember all the homophobia on here caused by religion. i dont remember you getting pissed by that."
I love when people say something like that as a generalized point, even if it's not actually based on anything a person said or did, but simply based on something they perceive a person like that to do or say.
Calling BS. Just saying
DlCKNo I am not joking, God exhisting isnt a joke.
NikolausIt really is. God does not exist.
NikolausThe big bang

NikolausYou're cherry picking. The bible also says stuff like if you rape someone pay their dad 50 sheckles or killing all but 4 humans.
DlCKTheWhich book?
DlCK"Scientists are convinced that our universe began with one enormous explosion of energy and light, which we now call the Big Bang. This was the singular start to everything that exists: the beginning of the universe, the start of space, and even the initial start of time itself.
Astrophysicist Robert Jastrow, a self-described agnostic, stated, "The seed of everything that has happened in the Universe was planted in that first instant; every star, every planet and every living creature in the Universe came into being as a result of events that were set in motion in the moment of the cosmic explosion...The Universe flashed into being, and we cannot find out what caused that to happen."9
Steven Weinberg, a Nobel laureate in Physics, said at the moment of this explosion, "the universe was about a hundred thousands million degrees Centigrade...and the universe was filled with light."10
The universe has not always existed. It had a start...what caused that? Scientists have no explanation for the sudden explosion of light and matter."
DlCK"I was an atheist at one time. And like many atheists, the issue of people believing in God bothered me greatly. What is it about atheists that we would spend so much time, attention, and energy refuting something that we don't believe even exists?! What causes us to do that? When I was an atheist, I attributed my intentions as caring for those poor, delusional people...to help them realize their hope was completely ill-founded. To be honest, I also had another motive. As I challenged those who believed in God, I was deeply curious to see if they could convince me otherwise. Part of my quest was to become free from the question of God. If I could conclusively prove to believers that they were wrong, then the issue is off the table, and I would be free to go about my life.
proof of God I didn't realize that the reason the topic of God weighed so heavily on my mind, was because God was pressing the issue. I have come to find out that God wants to be known. He created us with the intention that we would know him. He has surrounded us with evidence of himself and he keeps the question of his existence squarely before us. It was as if I couldn't escape thinking about the possibility of God. In fact, the day I chose to acknowledge God's existence, my prayer began with, "Ok, you win..." It might be that the underlying reason atheists are bothered by people believing in God is because God is actively pursuing them."
DlCKLook and ye shall find.
