That old Mondo, he never posts anything of substance.

On Atheism
by Mondo Fuego™

We have seen strong arguments for the existence of God ...

Cosmological
Teleological
Moral
Ontological
Etc.

Beliefs, faith, mysticism, teachings, culture, tradition ... whatever to which one wishes to ascribe one's tenets. Yes, religion is hugely traditional. We believe because our ancestors believed. The religious world is full of churches, synagogues, temples, mosques ... lots of man hours and bricks and mortar devoted to the beliefs.

Yet, they are founded in the otherwise inexplicable phenomenon of creation ... everything we encounter is a creation ... therefore someone or something must have created it ... right? Even the worn-out big bang theory presupposes some kind of creative force. New astrophysical thinking is that the universe has always existed. God is thought to have always existed. One is the creator, the other is the created. Perhaps they are one and the same. Yay, one for Baruch!

What is lacking in atheism is any logical inductive or deductive reasoning that leads to its conclusion.

I would like to see the line of reasoning that gets one to the point of atheism. Where is one's thinking before, and then when it starts? What triggers it? I don't buy the "leap of faith" argument ... there's no faith in atheism upon which to leap. "Leaping" also implies the point from which the leaping is done ... where is that point? Is it disillusionment? Is it anger at God for something they think He caused? That's emotional baggage, not rational thought. An "Aha" moment? What was the "Aha"?

Atheism is to be likened to a perfect vacuum ... nothing there ... nothing to support it. It is also perhaps an illusion. One thinks that they do not believe, but they can never be quite sure because they can't put their finger on what or why they don't believe. The rational basis for total disbelief just ain't there. In some cases, atheism could just be a trendy rebellious movement, kind-a like anti-American sentiment among certain "progressive" cults, perhaps even ephemeral, subject to reversal when the next stimulus or trend is encountered.

Believers realize that they can't be quite sure, but they don't worry about it because the ultimate paydirt is to be made manifest at some point in the future, and they have the assurance of the now, and that the sun will rise tomorrow.

I respectfully rest my case.

Counterpoints invited.

Believe in God in 5 Minutes (Scientific Proof)

You don't believe that crap, do you?

Since when is testimony considered as evidence by you?

I guess only when it is testified to in your favor.

🥱

I do NOT believe in it, but I recognize that it is interesting speculation.

Then why do you post embarrassingly stupid garbage if you don't believe it?

It makes you look stupid.

You are stupid if you fail to understand the point of the video.

Nothing you presented is anywhere close to evidence.

Atheism does not require evidence. It is the default position until evidence to the contrary can be presented.

It has never been presented.

And This....Science Has Proven What The Bible Sayw.....

Recent scientific research provides compelling evidence that all humans share a common ancestry, tracing back to one man and one woman. Studies on Mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosomal Adam suggest that every living person descends from a single maternal and paternal ancestor. Scientists have also discovered that human genetic diversity is unexpectedly low, indicating a significant population bottleneck in the past. This finding aligns with historical records and ancient flood accounts, which describe humanity being reduced to a small group before repopulating the Earth. Additionally, research confirms that the human body is composed of elements such as oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus the same elements found in the Earth’s crust, which aligns with the Genesis account of creation. #news #history #christian

No science has proven that, or even come close.

Please post a source.

Ya Know What?

Why did you flunk out of school??? Most people know how to Google...it's amazing that you don't....poor thing.....

So you can’t post a legitimate source. Thanks for confirming.

You are dismissed.

"In Theory"...There is nothing 'settled' when true science is in place...

Posted by Cheap Seats Shaman *= on June 1, 2026, 10:05 am, in reply to "And This....Science Has Proven What The Bible Sayw....."

...and it's not perfect. Never claimed to be.

The only ones concluding that any science is settled are pseudo-scientists, like those employed by control freaks like Algore and his ilk.

Amen!

Why is this entity so inconsistent?

You'd think that something with such abilities would demand worldwide acceptance.

It can't even hold one world in control, much less uncounted billions of other worlds, unless of course, you believe this is the only inhabitable world under it's control.

Illogical.
