  The Case for Theism

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "theism" here means "belief in a god" or "the worldview that an intelligent designer created the universe and life.

  " ("god" here means a being with a mind who initiated and/or wound-up the universe, and designed life on earth)the most common claim that i see atheists making on twitter, is that "no evidence" exists in support of belief in a god.this post will remove any excuse atheists have for claiming "no evidence exists" in support of an initiator.

  atheists can still reject this evidence as "weak," but they cannot truthfully say it does not exist.now, it is true that we do not have "observable, repeatable, falsifiable, empirical, scientific" evidence conclusively proving that an initiator exists, but we do have many lines of philisophical, experiential, and logical evidence.and... here... we... go:1:) many leading scientists, including stephen hawking, say that the space-time-matter universe had a beginning at the singularity/big bang.

  I think all of us would say that though. Its about not making solid claims about things you cant yet know. That not knowing is not a claim. I don't believe in god, there could be a lot of things that I don't believe in without direct proof of their existence. Theism debates are so pointless. If people in ancient times thought the sun was just taking a ride through the sky on some deities chariot could you prove or disprove it??? Not likely at that time. So should you believe it??? Think long and hard about what you claim to be true. You could honestly say they didn't know. Now we know. And guess what. It's not what they believed.

  Ok Fusion, I will answer for you

  "Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation. What I meant by 'we would know the mind of God' is, we would know everything that God would know, if there were a God, which there isn't. I'm an atheist."-Steven Hawking...

  Thats right, he is an Atheist! Making the OP a waist of time. And from this quote it seems you are not the first person to try to read between the lines of what he says to find 'God'.

  I am such a fallacious snob... sorry lol and a bit of an asshole I might add.

  I guess the goat herder moses, who may or may have not existed and wrote about a history that may or may not have happened could have been just as enlightened as us about our universe.

  Why are we so afraid to say that bronze age myth plagiarizers didn't have morality, or science right, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

  Five book were written by a goat herder, about he previous few thousand years... then lost... then miraculously found by Josiah many years later, look at that, and its rewritten and the original copies are lost to history (almost seems like the whole thing could have been made up or borrowed from much older foundation myths), all down through history this library gets written lost, found again rewritten, parts taken out other left in, and manipulated to fit political agendas of the time...

  Why isn't that enough proof of God for you Fusion??? Seems pretty sound to me. Why do you have to get nasty ol' science involved.

  Also lack of belief in god/intelligent design, is not a clam that they don't exist. Shit some people claim we were put here by aliens, or that we live in something like the matrix, where reality is like a computer program, or that everything is really a hologram, or on and on and on and on.....

  Big deal, where is the solid evidence to any of it? You haven't provided any Fusion. There are all sorts of fantastic ideas as to what it all means, and how it all got here, the sad thing is that some of these outlandish things have more evidence to their probability than YHWH!!!

  Instead of coming up with an end BELIEF, then trying to make any plausible possibility fit into that believe why don't you start at the other side, what does evidence show without any preconceived idea.

  Here is something of value from Hawking FusionTheism

  “When people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the big bang, so there is no time for god to make the universe in. It’s like asking directions to the edge of the earth; The Earth is a sphere; it doesn’t have an edge; so looking for it is a futile exercise. We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god. No one created our universe,and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization; There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that I am extremely grateful.”
