question to athiests

[Winningest]

Majority of Athiests are scientists.

I think it's the other way around. And I wonder why...

[bcg737]

Majority of Athiests are scientists.

Yes? Because proper education usually leads to people regarding faith and religion as nonsensical endevors,

still doesnt mean atheism=science

[JM18]

because there isnt a religion section to post this in.

[nakedsnake]

Religion can be observed on a daily basis as well. Do as you wish.

how? please give one example.

[CLEAN_SET_OF_10]

Explain.

Science is replicable. Destroy all science books and remove the knowledge of science from everyone on earth and eventually it will build itself back up again, eventually to the same level at which it was destroyed.

However, destroy all bibles and religions in a similar manner and new religions would slowly form, but unlike science, the new religions would be so blatantly different, the chances of a Christian/muslim/buddhist/jewish etc god ever becoming a big religious figure are literally non-existent.

This goes hand in hand with my theory that theists aren't wrong in believing the universe could have been created by god, but to claim it was a christian, buddhist, muslim, jewish, etc god responsible for the creation of the universe is imbecilic on the most basic logical and rational levels.

But why does the brain give up? Why do the organs fail?

The point of evolution is that it's a self-propagating mechanism not for you, but for your genes. You're really nothing more than a capsule carrying your genetic code. So, your genes don't care whether they're spreading via you or via your offspring.

So, as long as you have offspring before you die, there's no evolutionary advantage to your genes for keeping your body alive. So, the body never evolved a way to stay operating past a certain average number of reproductions.

This is sort of a hard to understand concept for many people. To better understand the rationale behind it, read the wikipedia article on the selfish gene. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Selfish_Gene

If you already understand the basics of evolution then things should make more sense after reading that.

[WGalczak]

are you aware that there is an entire section on here dedicated to religion and politics?

According to Athiesm that page doesn't exist if I don't want it to.

GTFO. Negged.

Majority of Athiests are scientists.

... So there's 100s of millions of scientists on Earth? ... fuk you troll, wish I could neg you again.

It depends on the cause of death. If you got hit by a car that probably had something to do with it lol. You're looking for something that isn't there.

Oh and btw the best way for me the describe what I think comes after death would be to compare it to the nothingness that you experience when sleep but don't dream. It seems like nothing happened in between well that void in between is what your so called "afterlife" is.

Sleeping is not "nothingness." If it is what is lucid dreaming?

so that fact that atoms do this, and exist is what? coincidence?

Did you not read the part where I said when you are NOT DREAMING.

Please learn to read.

[SexiestMiscer]

how? please give one example.

How everyones body follows the golden ratio. How everyone has a different finger print. How the trees know when to grow back their leaves.

[bcg737]

There are periods of sleep where you are not dreaming,

[nakedsnake]

How everyones body follows the golden ratio. How everyone has a different finger print. How the trees know when to grow back their leaves.

How is that an example of religion? That is just an example of patterns in nature

[bcg737]

Those can all be explained scientifically..... Tell me how those are religious happenings

[hatersgonhate]

If OP asked a medical professional why death occurs, and was given an educated response, he would respond with "but why?"

Move along you simpleton

[SexiestMiscer]

How do you know this? This cannot be proven.

Also strong negging. This is why we can't have nice things athiests.

If this is the case then why do athiests always find the need to disprove gods existance.

[hatersgonhate]

Explain to me how religion is any more plausible than science

[Winningest]

How about a question for you. Theists seem to be boggled by the idea that the universe was created from "nothingness". What do you believe created your god of choice? If nothing created your god, it must have sat around existing for an infinite period of time doing absolutely nothing until suddenly deciding on a whim to create the universe (which is immense by the way, which makes it seem a bit odd that this god would be so focused on Earth and humanity specifically but that's another matter). The lifespan of this universe is infinitesimal compared to infinity. Why create a universe now? How does the concept of the universe suddenly existing (a huge oversimplification of the Big Bang Theory but we don't have time for that ****) bother so many theists yet the idea of a god existing for an eternity in nothingness suddenly deciding to create a universe make sense?

Also, you're constantly stating things that "can't be proven" that have already been proven. Your understanding of science is too poor for you to be asking these questions.

Atheists don't care to disprove god's existence, that would be like needing to disprove the existence of a flying spaghetti monster to someone who believes in it. If they believe in something like that, it's already too late. The problem is when scientifically illiterate people brainwash children and influence public policy.

Don't feed the mother****ing troll can't you see

[buffmouse]

explains why everything exits better...imo

[WGalczak]

Explain how the trees know when to grow back their leaves.

Going to make it my goal to get my reps high just so I can neg you as often as possible deep into the red *******.

Also... HOW TREES KNOW WHEN TO GROW LEAVES BACK? ... I don't even...

I'm getting trolled...

Yes it can, dreaming = conductive and active brain funtion outside of the cerebellum (the cerebellum is always running, to keep the heart beating etc.)

We can measure if there is brain activity though many methods, such as a Electroencephalography, Pet scan, MRI, CT. etc.

We can measure when a persons brain is not active.

[SexiestMiscer]

Because it is simple. Science has a reason for mostly everything. Somethings do not need reasoning. Just like when you see a tree on the street. You know its there but a scientist wants to prove its there when all he has to do is look.

[nakedsnake]

Explain how the trees know when to grow back their leaves.

they don't "know" when, they respond to outside stimuli, just like you're eye muscles contract to certain light and focus in on an object together giving you an image, body puts on fat when you eat too many calories. it's a miracle of nature indeed.

[bcg737]

explains why everything exits better...imo

Yes...... "god did it" is alot easier to say then to actually do hard work and find out the answer....

[hatersgonhate]

explains why everything exits better...imo

So, if a story sounds nice and fitting, you accept it? That is so stupid

If your brain isn't active then you're either a vegetable or dead.
