God FAQ

Name: Anonymous 2007-03-22 12:50 ID:jf+xS7oT

It seems that every time there is a debate over the existence of god, or the need for religion, theists seem to bring up the same (refuted) points over and over. I was thinking there must be some collection of arguments and rebuttals somewhere on the net? Could someone be kind enough to direct me to such a place?

"I find it impossible to believe in god unless you have been brainwashed at a low age."

It seems to me that, barring the appearance of God or gods,  someone or some group long ago, discovered(or developed) a belief in supernatural beings without prior “brainwashing”.

The difference I notice most between science and religion is that science requires “proofs”  to validate an assertion, while religion requires “faith”: Science is show-and-tell, while religion is just-trust-me.

"Unlike God and Other ways are disproven by science. Why do people choose to believe stuff that was written back a long time ago."

As far as I can tell, science can neither prove nor disprove the existence of  God(s). Supernatural beings supposedly exist and act in ways beyond natural, and science only talks about the natural. Science has little if anything to say about whether or not living things have a soul or what happens to it when living things die. As such, science certainly can’t say much about the possible existence of living beings that exist ONLY in soul form(God[s]).
Conversely, religion can’t discredit science because often requires(and has), some sort evidence or data or logic to back up much of what it asserts: experimental results, mathematical proofs, specimen samples, etc.
As for why people believe stuff: >>14

It seems my attempts at making links FAILED!! Curse my lack of computer savvy amoung other things.
