10 Questions Atheists Can't Answer...Easily Answered.

Nº4 question was really funny.

I mean, even in our own planet there is dissidence regarding the nature or even the identity of the creator. Hell, even within the same neighborhood there may be ppl of different faiths... What good do ppl expect to find by searching out there for a God?

As someone who believes that the Universe is in fact infinite, or rather that time isn't the variable to hang on when talking about existence, I need to make a question about Nº3 (specifically about your personal position: theists will clame God created the Universe from nothing (himself not needing an explanation or starting point), as you very well stated. I made the very same question to several theists (with no plausible reply, I might add), about using the same card to explain the initial state of the Universe.

I think that between those 2 none is more plausible. The former because it implies that a fully developed all-knowing and all-powerful conscience is more plausible then an evolving system, and the later because it randomly brakes an homeostasis condition. 

So... do you have an idea (vague is fine, I'm just curious) to address that issue? What would have set things in motion from the initial state (if anything)? 

Cheers :)

When I'm asked why I'm atheist I say "I've read the bible"

Well even if he does exist, he’s not my father, my dad is, same way my grandma isn’t my father

There is an emerging thought that the cosmos has always existed and was never created. Stay tuned the physicists are working on it. Ever see one species of an animal help another animal of a different species who is in peril? If God exists it is not the one described in the Bible who behaves more like a demiurge than a God.

In Taoist, everything come from nothingness. Taoist also posit that into nothingness everything will be.

There's definitely a question you can't answer.

I'm an atheist. There are many questions I don't know the answer to and a smaller subset of question that no one currently has a good answer for. However just dreaming up a deity to come up with made up, baseless explanations to fill in the blanks solves nothing.

Pascal's Wager: Reality vs. Practicality

The idea of how they want Pascal's wager to be used is like "real or may not be real, you should believe in it. "

It's like the idea that you decide to believe because of practicality rather than it's real.

It’s all fun and games until an alien shows up.

People of Faith don’t need to have science explained to them, or ‘how it works’ - that’s just more ‘evidence’ of the condescending intellectual snobbery that the ‘atheist channel’ is so well known for. What a clown-show.

Meerkats who take a sentinal position also give themselves a head start while warning the rest, iirc from my psych studies. Not a great example of altruism or ethics.

Most Christian people dont read the bible,they just say believe in my faith

Atheists easily destroy any arguments that creationists have. i'm so glad to be an atheist.

"What made you an atheist?"
Well, becoming an adult and realising that, however we might try to dress things up, fairy tales are just fairy tales.

HOLY SHIT!!!! 💩💩💩💩💩💩

“I cannot demand more goodness from people than I am willing to provide myself” Boom. One of the couple huge reasons that made me first question Christianity.

I love what Greg had to share. An inspiring amount of humility.

Genesis. . . The first “book” of “the book “. . . and i’ll paraphrase . . . Cain, the son of Adam and Eve (Adam having been the FIRST human), slew his brother Abel; was banished from the Garden Of Eden, went to a foreign land and took a wife. . . HUH?

Ive wondered this everyone why did britain rule over china if a lot of brits and chinese are atheist?

#4 reverse this question and how would a believer answer it?

Oh I love the Anti Pascal Wager! I have to try that more often.

U are mistaken about Hindutva. It is not a movement to indoctrinate ppl to believe in god, it is a cultural revival movement. After generations of British oppression, finally we Indians rediscovered our culture and took pride in it. Hindutva is a movement to help people rediscover our culture

Here's a question atheists can't answer -
Does the thing called god exist?
Yes? No? Why?
Only rational & sane answers are acceptable.

Atheism is untenable. A God that does not exist can do absolutely nothing. A God that does exist can do what he wants when he wishes. However, you are correct. The God that you don't believe in does not exist and I don't believe in that God either. God can and does provide spiritual proof. It is verified through spiritual means. That is essentially, when God says what you should do and you do that, "keep my commandments, do good to others, etc." He will provide the proof you need. You will feel his proof in a manner you will recognize. That is usually a spiritual thing but occasionally it can be physical. The Bible has instances of both. I have had several confirming experiences and I know others who have had the same. An important scripture says that, if you have faith and you exercise that faith, it will become knowledge in that thing. Your problem is that you don't know enough to follow up and ask correct questions. The truth is this. God promises that all will have everything about His program provided in this life or the next. Where there has been no law known, there will be no punishment. However, the blessings which God promises can only come by following his "commandments". The blessings and confirmation come by doing what is right. Philosophers have asked "Is God right because he wills it, or does he will it because it is right? The correct answer is "Yes!". If you really want to know God, not just to pontificate about why there is no God, God will answer that request.

Atheists tend to criticize religious texts to prove that God doesn’t exist, but it doesn’t make real sense . God can exist, but we don’t know nothing about him, or he doesn’t want us to know that he exists. Just to completely deny any possibility of God’s existence is equally stupid as being religious.

I'm a Christian and I've been watching explanations/debates on atheism and morality. The consistent threads I hear from atheism are that society defines it, the common goal of "well being" contributes to it, inside of us it is somewhat obvious really bad things are wrong, religion/God doesn't have it right. It just always happens that the atheist defines what morality is and that individual falls on the good/right side of the line of what they've defined. Each atheist is the ultimate authority for their life and sets up whatever standard they wish. If they mess up with someone then the path to make it right is set up by them also of course. Apologize, don't apologize, more good than bad, all up to the atheist. They are always right, always moral. What I can't find out is if an atheist would concede the following point or prefer to explain why it is not right.... Really any scenario that goes something like this: Russian computer expert hacks into USA person/company and is able to take money. There is no extradition treaty and Russia would probably reward such a person for this act of theft. So, if a person knows they can receive benefit without any society punishments, then by atheist standards isn't this something that is good for them to do?

only 10 answers lol the Christians cant answer 1 question let alone 10 lol

I don’t agree with 7 and I think nobody should: If a god indeed exists and he’s like the one described in the bible, everybody should without hesitation become a christian, even if you believe you’re doing immoral things, like treating women as second class citizens. If you wouldn’t, you would receive eternal punishment and so would the people you stop from becoming christian. Hell is actually the most undeserving place for anybody because you cannot commit an infinite amount of things. Also your morality wouldn’t matter because morality would be by that god and irrefutable and always more true than yours

For #8... creationists can't fathom evolution on the timescale it actually takes. They expect a chimp to pop out a human or other such nonsense. They cant wrap their heads around the hundreds of thousands to millions of years it takes for one species to evolve into another no matter how many transitional species you present them. Genetics? Forget it. Id like to think i have a vasic knowledge in genetics and can follow the science to a certain extent, but creationists? Nope, it's like talking to a brick wall.

1 question religions can't answer, where's your proof?

If you need a training video to help your beliefs seem scientific your beliefs probably aren't very scientific.

Why pick such generic questions

Amino acids and sugars are biological molecules. You don't get to use biological matter if you're supposedly creating life. Sterile inanimate matter has to produce Life. If we found these in space every one would know because it would be evidence of Alien life.

If you "know" step 3&5 but not 1&5. Then you don't know 3&5. How can you definitely know any one of the steps if you can't produce the results? This is backwards thinking.

The atheist has really backed themselves into a corner. If your an atheist you have no choice but to believe that inanimate sterile matter can produce Life without a Creator or cause. No getting around it.

No choice .... You believe that an event governed by the limitations of time space and matter. Stood outside of time space and matter before they existed. Then created the same time space and matter that would ultimately dictated the reality of the event. If the event wasn't limited by the laws of time space and matter you're making a claim of the supernatural and no longer an atheist.

My answer to the 4th question is- "If god exists, if god has infinite power, if god is omnipresent, if god is omnipotent, etc then there has to be proof of said god everywhere. But as much we have looked we (meaning mankind) have not found any trace of god anywhere except in 1 book. There is no point in having to look for a god on every planet, every point in space-time since if god exists when there have to be traces of god everywhere. It's like if you were to check my home for my skin cells. Even if I didn't want to leave any behind you would still manage to find some and prove that I live in my home."

I literally don't care about the question regarding there being a god or not. What I can say though, is that I find the hyper religious and staunch atheists to be equally cringe worthy.

It's easy to answer any question when your every answer is "It's magic".

I wish people would stop saying that athiesm is a belief because the word athiest literally means, "no beliefs"

How did you come tot he conclusion that Meerkats are risking their own lives when alerting the group to predators, and how do you know they understand that is the case?

I'm an atheist simply because religion is silly. It's just make-believe, like the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus. Maybe it's a benign fiction -- we all "go somewhere" when we die, don't be afraid, you'll get to see Grandma! -- or maybe it's darker (the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Salem Witch trial, basically one justification used for basically every atrocity in human history -- God told us to...). But even as a little, nine year old boy, when my mother FORCED me to go to Sunday school... I knew it was all just silly stuff. Some adults believe it because they're scared of dying, or the grief of losing loved ones is too much to bear -- ok; pain can lead us all into delusion. Some people believe in it because they need the comfort of familiarity and ritual -- fair; I seek novelty more than the familiar, but I will never tell someone else what they can and can't do to "make it through the night." But, have you considered Unitarianism? Then you can have "congregation" or "fellowship" without all that silly, you know, God stuff. And so on...

And of course, as an adult, I have the full weight of science and reason, and the confidence/arrogance that -- despite literally millennia of trying -- nobody has, ever, once, managed to prove God's existence, or of life after death, or angels, or any of that. Occam's Razor doesn't guarantee that this means almost all religions of the world are make-believe, but... it sure seems a lot more likely.

I am an atheist, because I *think*, and I know that there's a big difference between being scared to question your own beliefs -- I've done it, numerous times. I even once, in my darkest moment, tried praying -- hey, all the Christians swear it fixes everything, so why not? Sorry, religious people: dead air. Nothing in my life improved, I didn't feel any better or "lighter" or more "holy" or whatever. If anything, I felt WORSE, because now I felt like an idiot. Point is: "how can you know it's fake if you don't try it?" Well: I tried it. It's fake. And the only other proof would be to literally DIE, and no thank you; any belief system that requires me to die for it to prove my value is a cult, not something worthy of my praise.

I'm an atheist, simply put, because it makes SENSE. Religion is whackadoodle; lack of religion... makes sense.

What ridiculously trivial answers. You need a lesson in philosophy and to listen to some real Christian and atheist scholars.

if you believe in God, anything can be God's will.

I do not believe in God,
And I do not "believe" in Evolution or the Big Bang.

How certain of your evolutionary evidence are you ?

According to science itself only 1 tenth of 1% is the number of, mostly incomplete fossils, that you have to study....quite a claim, based upon such scant evidence.

Evolution operates on all things at all times.. .is the claim.

So show me the transitional elements in a shark, a shrimp and a cockroach.

And lining up 3 species does not a sequence of change make....it remains 3 distinct species in an arbitrary line.

“If you haven’t seen the whole universe, how can you say a god doesn’t exist.” 1) You’re right, which is why so many atheists say we don’t believe a god exists. But 2), that’s a dumb question. There are ideas that are impossible to come to fruition in reality. Any transfer of energy that ends with a lessening of total entropy? Impossible. We know it’s impossible. We don’t need to respect the ideas of people trying to sell us perpetual motion just because we haven’t observed every interaction that might prove us wrong. The humility of knowing we don’t know everything is not an admission that we don’t know anything. God, as described in any meaningful way, is more likely than not to be impossible.

The question isn’t, where did life come from. The question is, what is consciousness. The other question is “What is God?”. There are thousands of interpretations of God defined through the eye’s of people who thought the sun was a flaming chariot. Sin is another term that happens to be defined basically as somebody who doesn’t believe like me. If the bible describes God as the light and the beginning and the end, then he (i use he for lack of a better term) is the smallest particles of atoms (photons) and the entire energy that makes up all of the matter in the universe. Atheism is also a belief (although they go through great lengths and grab at straws to try to disprove it). If you had a box of which two people had no knowledge of it’s contents and one person believed it had something in it and the other believed it was empty, they are both still beliefs.

this video is just very stupid
it promotes conflict between people. just let religious people believe in god and accept that they simply have different values and ideas
a better person is not decided based on their religious views but on how they act when given the choice to act (this video being the proof of how not to act)

"If god doesn't exist, why do you care if people worship him?"

I greatly dislike when worship is enforced (and once disliked all religion because on the one hand it made no sense, and on the other it was forced upon people).
More recently I've learned that many people need religion (they are the ones with a god sized hole in their lives), and in the absence of large scale moderate religion, they will find their own cults (cough**WOKE/TRANS/etc**cough). So, I am happy for people to worship via large, organized religions that remain separate from secular life and promote good and kind values.

"Seriously, can nothing create something?"
I don't think so. In my experience, everything has come from something else. Nothing has come from nothing. So the concept of an uncreated creator seems silly to me and at odds with the universe. As for the question of, if there was a big bang, what came before it - I say, I don't know, but I reckon the answer is "something else".

"So you never been to the ends of the Earth...how do you know that god doesn't exist?"
Well, there are numerous definitions of "God." As a product of imagination, he most certainly exists; as a concept of discussion he most certainly exists; as a focus for a religion he is an extremely useful concept; as an actual being I think he cannot exist.

"What is the origin of life?"
Good question. Not God.

"If humans are animals, then where does our sense of morality, justice, and right and wrong come from?"
Societal evolution. Monkees have a sense of morality, justice, etc. It may be rudimentary comparted to humankind, but it's there and readily observable.

"If you were given irrefutable evidence that the god of the bible is real, would you become a Christian?"
I'm not sure. Would it be compulsory for me to join one of the Abrahamic religions were I to be convinced "the god of the bible" is real?

"If evolution is real, and if it is really happening, how come there are no transitional forms that we can observe?"
It is real, it is really happening, and it is readily observable. Also, there are numerous transitional forms of many life forms.

"Do you live according to what you believe, or do you live your life according to what you lack in belief?"
Both.

"If God doesn't exist, and the Christian dies, the Christian loses nothing. But if God does exist, and you die as an atheist, do you not believe you will lose more? Will you not lose your soul?"

If God doesn't exist and the Christian dies, the Christian loses all the time wasted on fearfulness of a bad afterlife (this of course does not apply to the Christian who spent his or her time on religiousity due to positive devotion).

If God does exist, and you die as an atheist, what have you lost? IIf you buy a lottery ticket and you die before finding out if it's a multi-million dollar winning ticket, what have you lost? Is it not enough to have lived a long and full life?
