Re: God is Not Great
LMAOOOO.
no. a theory is not a hypothesis. a hypothesis, is a hypothesis.
FACEPALM.
Re: God is Not Great
Simply believing that there is a designer/controller of the universe is quite different that believing all the fairytale stories and ridiculous rules/regulations that we find in most religious books.
A controller that would destroy families and civilizations to simply prove his/her/it petty point (as often told in abrahamic religious books) is quite disgusting. That god is not great, I don't care if he/she/it is real and plans on cooking me for saying this.
You can save your pity and your veiled threats. The only purpose they serve is make yourself feel better and massage your ego as part of the delusion that you are on a prescribed right track.

Why is it disgusting? Let's answer that question first shall we?
Cleverly put sharaabee ... I can see you are a believer in The Deity afterall ... :)
You say "A controller" and then say "That god" - Well you have a different idea of Deity then ... at least you respect that idea of Deity enough not to confuse the idea of the archetypal Abrahamic definition with the idea of your Real God ... I guess it is a start that you do believe in Deity.
Did you know if you have an atoms weight of belief that can be enough sometimes?
Re: God is Not Great
You are obviously unaware of the debate. And your asking about the definition of theory and then calling it “blah blah” (:)) shows your lack of basic understanding of science. Instead of asking this question here, you could have saved this embarrassment by actually looking at any dictionary first.
Multiverse theory has been put forward by atheists in order to somehow blunt the powerful evidence of fine-tuned universe. While this theory gives atheists hope, it is still a theory. On the other hand, the importance of universal constants in the universe is a scientific evidence which can not be denied.

You seem to have already lost it.
Did you ever take an IQ test before? :)
I would say that if you are unable to understand an answer then don't ask a question. You want scientific evidence of the Creator when you don't even know the definition of fundamental scientific concepts.
Re: God is Not Great

I gave that example as an evidence because philosophy bitia was asking for the evidence.
Re: God is Not Great
hahahahaha. i can’t even respond here anymore…oh my gawd. 
i didn’t ask the definition for my own personal knowledge…i think you need to understand the basics of science and then present your lame arguments. a theory is accepted as true in the scientific world.
who in their right mind calls a theory a hypothesis? are you guys seriously this misinformed?
and stop getting personal. make some valid arguments.
Re: God is Not Great
Why is it important for rekigious folks to have everyone believe as they do.
As for intelligent design just a bunch of hokus ppokus
Re: God is Not Great
I saw sharabee talking about “religious orgy” in this thread (post no. 74). Taking out the “religious” part from it, is this the reason why you are unable to understand the point? lol.
I called it “theory” because that is how many people, especially atheists, refer to it.
But actually it is nothing but an unproven conjecture. This “theory” is the only means by which atheists can hold on to their belief in non-existence of God.
If you call this argument a “lame argument” then you are not worthy of even asking for the evidence of God. It shows how pathetically unaware you are, and what level of intelligence you posses. This argument has all atheist scientists run like chickens. The only thing they could come up with to explain it is their belief in bunch of conjectures which can never be proven.
Here is what I said being discussed here. “Lame argument” my a**: 
Science’s Alternative to an Intelligent Creator: the Multiverse Theory | Cosmology | DISCOVER Magazine
*
it appears that we are not adapted to the universe; the universe is adapted to us.
**
Call it a fluke, a mystery, a miracle. Or call it the biggest problem in physics. Short of invoking a benevolent creator, many physicists see only one possible explanation: Our universe may be but one of perhaps infinitely many universes in an inconceivably vast multi*verse. Most of those universes are barren, but some, like ours, have conditions suitable for life.The idea is controversial.
Critics say it doesn’t even qualify as a scientific theory because the existence of other universes cannot be proved or disproved. Advocates argue that, like it or not, the multiverse may well be the only viable non*religious explanation for what is often called the “fine-tuning problem”—the baffling observation that the laws of the universe seem custom-tailored to favor the emergence of life.
*
I think “philosophy” now needs to read some “science”. 
The above article also says the same thing I just said. The fined-tuned universe (due to universal constants) can only be explained by multiverse theory (or multiverse no-so-much-of-a-theory).
But while fine-tuned universe is an EVIDENCE, multiverse is a mere BELIEF of some scientists.
And now dear philosophy, you shouldn’t be asking for “evidence” of Creator. Because the evidence is there. And the only way you can dispute this evidence is through your BELIEF in his non-existence.
Re: God is Not Great
BTW sharabee, I gave you more respect than little philosophy to understand these things. But you yourself "liked" his/her pathetic post no. 79.
What prompted you to like it? What substance did you see in it?

Exactly what part is hokus pokus?
You seem to be the same fatwa-thrower as the religious people you despise.

This would have made sense if this thread was started with the purpose of converting atheists. But actually it was started by an atheist to ridicule God.
Hence this question should be asked from atheists folks instead of religious folks.

Peace Southie
It is essentially about belief isn't it? However, the religious people on this thread want to engage in scientific discussions with the atheists at least to agree on reasonable grounds that:
Although we are not arguing it as proof, but the universe around us is definitely EVIDENCE that God Exists and hence we have a basis to say God is Great ... I don't want philosophy, sharaabee or you to accept that God Exists, merely to accept that the universe is ample evidence in favour of our belief ... There is a big difference in "believing as I believe" compared with 'accepting my evidence'.
Re: God is Not Great
eeeks. so offended. sorry, can't respond to such petty children.
oh btw, nothing is ever "proven" in science...in fact, it needs to be falsifiable ; )

arrite. get off your high horse. LOSER. question your own faith first.

I liked his/her terming some religious folks' ramblings as "mumbojumbo".. or a similar word that he/she used.
Re: God is Not Great

If the argument about fine-tuned universe was not provable then atheist scientists wouldn't have felt the need to come up with multiverse argument to counter it. ;)
You wanted the evidence, and when evidence is presented you run away like a chicken instead of argue against it?!
You certainly are a Buqrat of philosophy.

Hey Southie and Sharaabee, now THAT is "hokus pokus" and "mumbojumbo" .. or a similar word that he/she used. :D
lol.

khoji is getting his panties in a twisttttttttttttt. muslim men and their egos! tskkk.
if youre gonna make unnecessary comments and try to belittle people jjust because they don't agree with your views, then that is exactly what you will get back. you don't understand reason, logic, and rationale. lalalalala.
seriously, youre sucha KID. lolllll.
