Oh, wait, you say you can use deductive reaosning to believe aliens exist even though you have no proof they exist, but you can use deductive reasoning, ok fair enough....
But we cant use deductive reasoining for God, ie, origins of the universe, fine tuning, hostoricity of Christ, objective moral duties, you cant use those, , for God it has to be emprical evidence...
I would hate to see you be a judge in a court...
When did we ever say we BELIEVE aliens exist?!? All we said is that from what we know, it is VERY LIKELY that they exist. Do I believe? No. Do I think it is highly likely? Yes (because it is)...

For starters, i wouldnt go to a big foot forum, i dont believe he exists, so i wouldnt bother going to that site, let alone be there months later arguing with them......
Yet you and your friends are still here...Wonder why...
People believing in bigfoot don't negatively impact society.

Your (intentional?) misunderstanding of cosmology is only surpassed by your credulity. In your next post you actually suggest that the shroud of turin is not a forgery?! C'mon, get outta here! As for your ad nauseum repetition of something arising from nothing, though other non theists have done a credible job wrangling with your semantics, perhaps a different tack is in order. Simply because we do not precisely understand the conditions at the rise of our universe does not in any way support the existence of a god (or gods for pc) It still boils down to as you say, "something arising from nothing" at its most irreducable state. Your argument that a god not beholden to the laws of physics is much less plausible to the rational mind than the laws of physics breaking down in a singularity. For all your claims of humbleness, you theists assert and assume so much, while we atheists know that we have come so far, yet have still much further to go.
And the typical atheist response just continue, you claim my knowledge of cosmology is not correct, yet you dont give reasons why.....not one....

I dont know about you, but i wouldnt go on a forum where the members believe in big foot and start calling big foot names...
Calling something that you dont believe exists at all names is a sign of craziness......
If people who believed in bigfoot grew exponentially in number and started persecuting gays and women, warring with loch ness monster believers, and acquiring WMDs, you damn well better believe i would...

You really should learn to restrain your use of silly emoticons and read more carefully. I very clearly stated in another post why your views on cosmology were a joke at best. Re read for comprehension, as i am loathe to repeat myself for the sake of simpletons.

ALL universities around the world have recieved a memo from Washington....From now on, in exams, students when answering questions can answer with "what a load of crap", "thats not true"," your deluded", "thats wrong"...
They dotn have to give to reasons why they made there statement, the reasons above are more than sufficient...
This is called the "covers atheism members" movement, where each question, even mutliple choice questions can be answered with the above.........Pass rates are expected to be 100% for the first time in human history....

I have read the greater part of this thread, and the discrepancy in intelligence between theists and the myriad forms of non believers is stark and startling. The theists invariably resort to the most simplistic and transparent "arguments" such as the pathetic pascal's wager, and the ever shrinking god of the gaps, followed by appeal to (dubious) authority by quoting their own root legends as proof for the same. Failing that, they resort to a particularly pathetic string of ad hominem attacks, such as the one quoted above, and the myriad others where this ill informed man chooses to draw attention to himself by screaming "COWARDS" from the hilltop, whilst the battle is raging in the valley below. Ihave seen the great doctor penrose and his objections to the standard model of quantum mechanics repeatedly bastardized by the most sane and rational of the theists, and i will now put a stop to that. Penrose, like hawking, greene, and myriad others have their own pet theories to advance in the search for a unified field theory. Penroses' pet is twistor theory, and his attacks on the standard model should be viewed in such light. Seeing as you are obviously ignorant of the physics behind his critiques and instead choose to co-opt them in defense of theism, I would suggest you read his book "The Road to Reality" in order to satiate your man crush on sir penrose. All of that said, the standard model is still experimentally sound, and until an alternate theory becomes testable, it will continue to be the standard of particle physics.
I have seen it all.......

No, i, and sir roger, if he were here to defend his good name, object to your bastardisation and complete twisting of his work. He is a far greater intellect than I, but unlike you, I at least understand what he is saying. You keep inventing strawmen though, it serves your intellect well.

LOLOLOL, did you know the majority of people who leave faith are in the first year following a tragedy to a loved one or close friend or a steep decline in the prosperity in there lives....
And you say you are" intelligent minded"
Clealry shows....

LOLOLOLOLLLlllllLLl (inssert teenage girl internet jargon) You don't realize that your statement in no way contradicts mine, even if it is true? That a disruptive event in someones life is more prone to cause change than the perpetuation of the status quo?

In my experience, the vast majority of true believers are either born, bread, brainwashed, or "come to god" early in their adulthood because of personal weakness/affliction, or tragic circumstances.
FAIL!!, recent university studies have shown you to be wrong.
Yet you are self confessed intelligent..

We have been through this. We can CALCULATE THE PROBABILITY that aliens exist based on NUMBERS. We CANNOT calculate the probability that god exists because we have NO NUMBERS to use.
Understand?
So, as long as there is a probability it is true?

Because THE LATEST DEVELOPEMENTS in cosmology STRONGLY goes against naturalism, it doesnt count.......
You silly dilletente, i've forgotten more about particle physics and cosmology than you will ever know. Your understanding is elementary in the most generous terms, and even that sparse comprehension is negated by your need to twist science in support of your infantile attempts at debate.

what religion would you probably follow/believe if you were raised in a muslim family??
No one can answer that, what if you were female? What if your parents never met? I will say there is evidence that a number of muslims are turning to Christianity.....
