Answer to:
Can Atheists prove with concrete evidence that there is no God? They need to show how everything in existence came to be without intelligence, including the universe and its complex systems (e.g. gravity and electromagnetism). I have not seen anyone provide any such evidence; therefore, there is no evidence for atheism, which contends that no intelligence was involved in the creation of the universe and its contents.

A person can be aware that some intelligence was/is responsible for the existence of the organized universe and its contents but not belong to a particular church. Many people note that the churches are often hypocritical and unreasoning but realize that atheists are no different, just not as tightly organized.

Answer to:
Is it true that in a strange, paradoxical way, atheists tend to take religion more seriously than the practitioners? Not at all.

Answer to:
What are your "gut instincts" regarding life in the entire universe? How about intelligent life? What is "life"? We assume that all life is biological, but there's no reason to make that assumption. Since we only understand about 5% of the nature of the universe, or perhaps even less, we basically know next to nothing about the nature of this place and therefore next to nothing about what "life" is limited to. So, there could easily be life on the moon, Mars, or elsewhere. We just may...

Answer to:
Christians, Why do you think the Burden of proof is on atheist? I wouldn't quite put it that way. However, to contend that the emergence and organization that took place during the first 100 seconds of the universe's existence and especially the first trillionth of a second, all with no intelligence whatsoever begs an explanation.

Answer to:
In your words, what's the difference between disbelief and nonbelief? Disbelief means the rejection of a given belief Non-belief means simply not believing in a given belief. Atheism may be either one but it is also a belief.

Answer to:
Do you consider atheism a belief system, just like religions? Yes, their non-belief in an intelligent creator requires their belief in something else. Similar to my non-belief that my house had an intelligent designer and builder. It's existence would mean I believed that it came to be by some other means. So, yes, it is a belief system.

Answer to:

What is the main reason Atheists don't believe in God? A faith of sorts, that somehow the universe emerged and organized by some mysterious, unguided means.

Answer to:
If one questions the existence of God -is there really anything definite that natural forces could not account for? Yes, many things. However, the biggest things natural forces can't account for are natural forces themselves. The four (4) primary forces (gravity, electromagnetism, strong and weak nuclear forces) went from non-existence to functioning in a trillionth of a second. Those forces are directly responsible for the development of the rest of the universe.

Why is it that scientists can never find life or signs of life in outer space, and be able to discern such? Life exists, but invisible? #1 - Outer space is really big; most of it is too far away to study. #2 - They are only looking for biological life. There is no evidence to suggest biological life is the only possible life form. #3 - Science is limited to only searching in the physical universe. Even scientists hypothesize that there could other realms other than this physical universe.

There are concepts about the universe which we can't grasp but they are clearly not impossible, just not yet understood by humans. A being with the...

If God created our universe just 6,000 years ago, in theory we should only see stars up to 6000 light years away.

If a "miracle", such as the parting of the red sea or christ raising the dead, can be shown to have a scientific and totally natural explanation, does that mean it ceases to be a miracle and merely a natural event? A miracle is when the knowledge of science and the power to use that knowledge far exceed what humans can perform or even conceive at a given time. However, what may once be considered a miracle may later become the use of available technology based on increased scientific discovery. We yet have a very long way to go.

Should young women be viewed as "pre-pregnant"? A recent report about sharing medications indicated that it was especially bad for young women because they might get pregnant. Does viewing women as pre-pregnant undermine their value as individuals? It's a risk management issue. If all women agreed to hold doctors and pharmaceutical companies harmeless and signed a waiver committing to never sue based on drug interaction or birth defects, this would be a complete non-issue.

I think people who don't accept the theory of evolution were either poorly taught and indoctrinated or are stubborn and close minded. Or both. Do you think I am intolerant or close minded myself because of that? Not necessarily intolerant, but possibly closed minded - because many highly educated people, including scientists, have scientific reasons for not accepting the theory.

Atheists deny the existence of God. If an Atheist argues that there is no proof of the existence of God, is it fair to require Atheists to prove the non-existence of God to support their position? If not, why? Neither side, no matter what they say can offer proof of their belief. It comes down to what they want to believe.

According to the US Dept of Labor, men work 25% longer hours than women, and women take 50% more sick time than men. (http://www.bls.gov/tus/current/work.htm). These are life choices. Nobody is forcing men to work longer or women to work shorter hours.

Not even some obscure personal diary entry from some farmer's wife that "we buried him yesterday, but then he came back"? 1) The Bible records very few resurrections, the most recent being > 2,000 years ago. 2) 2,000 years ago, few common people had the ability to record events in writing such that they would be copied, distributed, and preserved for posterity. 3) Those who did have that ability did not want anything good done by Jesus or his apostles to become publicly known.

When a religious person comes to the door to hand out booklets or invite you to church, what do you do? "I'm not interested" or "Thank you for coming, I will read it" or "I am an atheist, but thanks anyway" or "I have my own religion" or "Please come in." Lots of options.

I believe that "religion" should be interpersonal & that whether we like it or not, no two people believe the exact same thing. So, why do some people spend so much time trying to push what they believe onto others? AB is a great example of everybody imposing their religious, non-religious, anti-religious, or extremely religious views on everyone else. Most people think they've got it all figured out and think the others are foolish for not believing as they do.

What is the phenomenon when friends and family get so used to a person with disability that they don’t recognize the person cannot perform a specific task but the friend or family member expects the person to perform the task anyway? It's insensitivity, not necessarily as a result of ill will, more likely lack of thoughtfulness and awareness. I have disabled persons in my family and try to be ever conscious of assisting with tasks that are hard or impossible for them. I find I have to remind others to be as conscious. It's just that I am very, very close to these individuals and care deeply. My...

As long as our brains suffer no damage, it is possible to continuously learn new facts and acquire new skills such as a new language, if one chooses to - no matter how long you live.

Is it OK for a man who gets married, who never wore jewelry in his life and who does not like to wear rings to not be required to wear a wedding ring in order to prove that he truly loves his wife or must he have to wear the ring? Thoughts? I am that guy and adamantly refuse to wear a ring. It's completely unnecessary and would make me uncomfortable 24x7. She won't leave home without hers, and that's her choice. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if she never wore them, except for the fact that I paid $6,500 for the engagement ring alone.

Men, would you feel comfortable taking your wife's last name? Women, do you want to take your husband's last name? No, I wouldn't consider it nor would she expect me to. She proudly took my name and I'm proud for her and our kids to have it. The kids are proud to have it too, and it makes their lives easier. They makes friends more easily because of the family name.

My husband doesn't want us to have Santa involved in our Christmas ever, he was raised to think it was pagan and Santa took away from Jesus. I had Santa and I loved it and I want my kids to have him. We both feel strongly. What should I do? His objection is based on principle, feeling that it would be religiously wrong to include Santa, whereas yours is personal preference. I would trade this for something else you disagree on. Let him have this one, you take the next one.

I tend to think girls are prettier when they aren't wearing make-up, it is more like i'm seeing the real them, does anyone else agree? I agree. I need a natural beauty to wake up to everyday. I also want her to be confident enough in her own natural beauty that she doesn't feel like she must wear make-up.

I find it very wrong for people to say "this is America, you have to speak english", how do you feel about this and do you agree? it would arrogant and ridiculous for me to move to Spain and expect the Spanish government and people to accommodate my lack of Spanish-speaking skills. Clearly, the solution is for me to learn Spanish or live with not knowing what the heck is going on around me.

Answer to:
Which type of prejudice is more tolerable today? Racism or sexism? Sexism. Especially against men. I recently had a heated argument with a professed feminist. She argued/s that females are intellectuallly superior to males by birth. She was offended when I pointed out that white supremecists use the same argument about whites and blacks but she and her compatriots still refuse to back down from their female superiority theory.

Has "cheating" become a catch all term for anything your spouse/partner disapproves of involving a someone of the opposite sex? Some have said that it's ANYTHING you wouldn't do if you S/O was standing right next to you. That would mean that certain bathroom activies are cheating too. This has gotten totally out of hand. . .

When i try to tell christians basic facts about there religion, why do they get so defensive? For the same reason car salesmen get defensive when I know more about their product and company than they do. They feel embarrassed and possibly intimiated. Another possible is that they may feel that you're biased against their religion in general, and as such are presenting arguments solely to criticize and castigate rather than enlighten.

Is it cheating if a husband has feelings for someone else (a former co-worker, for example) but has no contact with her? To "cheat" is a verb, which requires at least some action. Acting on those feelings is where cheating might take place, depending on what you and she define as cheating.

What are people's thoughts on polygamy? Right? Wrong? Indifferent? It's right for people who were born that way, and for the people who choose it. Either way, it should be legalized immediately. It's discrimination to not allow people to marry whomever they want.

My fiance has a some guy friends back in her hometown. I found out that she has slept with a few of them before we met. She still talks to them and wants to invite a couple to our wedding.

More importantly, before you wed, you and she need to be on the same page w/r/t your relationships with old boy and girlfriends and how much contact you each have with...

Musicians rely on record sales, but record sales are swiftly becoming nonexistant, because people only by one or two songs from an Musicians should thank Apple for the iPod. Were it not for Apple, music sales would be lower and piracy would be higher. The alternative is for people to buy zero songs or copy the song from somebody who bought the CD.

Would you feel guilty for divorcing an abusive mate if they are financially dependent on you? What if it meant going from living in a nice house to renting a room? No, living in one room might be the wake-up call she needs. The victim should never feel guilty. I might feel sad, depending on how long we were married, but would most likely easily just move on to a new relationship. However, if we have kids, I might let her come over to my place when she had them so our kids wouldn't have to be cooped up in a single room. That would be too much.
