Ok well I am claiming Harry Potter is real. You still haven't provided any evidence against his existence.
If Christ died on the cross for all of humanity

Let's recap.
You believe in the bible. Why? Because the bible is the word of god. Okay. So if you believe in the bible because it is the word of god, that means god exists, right. So where's the evidence of god's existence? The bible. So you believe in the bible. Why? Because the bible is the word of god. Okay.

I don't understand why saying "I don't know" is such a crime to you guys.
I'd rather believe things popped into existence out of nothing than god popped into existence out of nothing AND then made the universe out of nothing. Your belief requires two steps, ours only requires one.
No, sub atmoic particles come from the quantum vacume which is a sea of fluctuating energy. Nothing that physicists use is not the philosophical nothing. You know this. Dont be misleading

Sadly Christopher Hitchens has died at 62... I just hope SJD is wrong because that means he's burning in hell right now, which if i must say so, is kinda fucked up. He was a real smart guy and will be missed...
RIP (i hope)
Remember what i said, we are not the judge, no one knows.

Just look at the rugby player in your avatar. He is probably a mixture of Native and African blood. The Christians probably came in and murdered his ancestors and declared their gods false.
And now this poor bastard has probably been institutionalized into Christianity himself. Again, the biggest crock of bull shit man ever created to control his brother.
You're just an indoctrinated fool like the rest, but to admit that would contradict your entire life and existence.

Irrelevent? you are the one that brought up me believing because i am afraid to die and now you say it is irrelevent? 
You remind me of that school kid walking around telling everyone they have a small dick because that school kid himself has a small dick...

African blood? 
Why dont you go and do a bit of research before spilling your ill informed and emotional diarroeah..

If only you bothered to read what the latest scientific evidence is toewards God, i am sure you havent, because if you did, you would be embarresed to see what the implications of your belief are.
WOW, all what you have done in this thread is attacked me personally. From where i come from, once you start playing the man rather than the issue, you know you have lost and have no intellectual respnse, hence the need to resort to personal attacks... So easy to read,

No human has been to the surface of the sun, yet we know what temperature it is. Point is humans have the ability to "know" many things without direct experience. The power of thought is to understand without direct evidence. Science is the elevation of thought through imagination.
It is the power of an idea which provides illumination to the "real" world. The fact that a human can predict phenomina which has yet to be discovered with her own reason, and then evidence of such predictions, and hypothesis comes available by means of technology not previously available proves that humans can answer any of these "unsolvable" questions.
The current Hadron collider now on line is providing more answers on the origins of the universe, including more evidence that there is multiple dimensions to the fabric of the universe which we cannot see. But we have predicted might be there because the science, and evidence points in this direction. Once again, human imagination, and thought uncovering the secrets of the universe. The "holy scriptures" have offered nothing to elevate the human existence, and only serve to divide and promote bigotry.

A great advocate for free thought, and free people. Expected, but sad nevertheless. Intelligent champions of good are hard to find.
Note his work against the harm caused by religion was a small part of his overall humanitarian work. Great people, and great minds usually show a range of expertise and interest.
Provocative British-born American writer and intellectual Christopher Hitchens has died at the age of 62 following a long battle with cancer.
Vanity Fair magazine, where Hitchens worked as a columnist, said the sharp-witted commentator died late Thursday of pneumonia, a complication of the esophageal cancer he was diagnosed with in 2010.
Though Hitchens developed a high-profile in 2007 with his controversial international bestseller, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, he spent the majority of his career as a war-time journalist, literary critic and prominent political commentator.

It's either on H2 or the science channel, one of them, at either 9 or 10 eastern time. It may be on in Australia as well.
And one of my problems with religion is it discourages thinking. For example: if we accept that god created the universe, why bother looking for the origins? We know the answer already. Yet we continue to send out probes an satellites and devote billions of dollars into research into discovering something that we know the answer to. That doesn't make sense. If you believe 100% that god created the universe, then you should be against this type of exploration. And if you are against this exploration, you are against the discovery of knowledge, which seems counter intuitive.

God is and that's truth. God doesn't need anybody approval or proof of his existence. He just is the I am that I am. God is love and forgiveness. All else is from man. Has religion been used to divide and kill man? Of course it has. Does that mean that God doesn't exist. If you raise a family of 4 kids and one of them becomes a mass murderer. Does that mean you were a bad parent. God gave us freedom of choice. You have chosen to not believe and that is your prerogative. But I will submit this to you fine gentlemen especially the non-believers and atheist.
To say that this entire Universe in it's complexity and beauty was randomly created without Divine Intelligence is the height of arrogance. I will give you an example. Take out your scrabble boards, put all the pieces in a bag. Shake the bag vigorously then dump all the pieces out. If it makes a perfect sentence then and only then can you say that this Universe was made by some random accident. Try it and let me know your results. God is the head Scientist that you so eloquently speak of and seek. May God bless you all and may you find the peace that you seek in your own time.

Kat no one should be against exploration, saddly we get into the politics of the "church" and not on "God"
I don't understand why there needs to be this giant line in the sand between God(not realigon) and science
"science and realigon are two branches of the same tree"
God is as testable as a magic accident so whats the point?

It just boggles my mind how anyone can believe in something with no evidence, let alone proof...
