Five atheist miracles : Comments

By Don Batten, published 2/5/2016

Materialists have no sufficient explanation (cause) for the diversity of life. There is a mind-boggling plethora of miracles here, not just one. Every basic type of life form is a miracle.

Well, Dan, just about anything would be better than ancient texts written in languages that die out, wouldn't you think? Anything that could qualify as a god should realise this too.

Walking among us would be good. Heck, just acting in damn near any way that doesn't have a more rational explanation to it would be a start.

Either way, copies of copies of translations of copies of texts written by anonymous authors, with no originals, is not a good method of communication or revelation.

Dear AJ,

It is possible for a God to be all-powerful, all-knowing and all-good and, in addition to be stupid. That is she speaks in archaic texts. She isn't too intelligent.

Walking among us. Could you clarify what you mean by 'us'. Do you mean you?

DSdM: Walking among us.

I would have thought that means, "Coming down to Earth & being physically seen in Person.

I don't mean the supposed "Son." I mean the big "Hughie" himself.

Nah! no-one would believe it anyway & all the Religions would get together & try to kill him/her/it anyway. Can't get in the way of "Big" Business you know.

No comment on "Other Religions Creation Stories?" Too hard, maybe.

Dear david f,

I'm not sure how a god could be both all-knowing and stupid at once. Do you mean 'lack common sense'?

Dan,

I more meant everyone when I said that. I think. I'm not sure. It doesn't really matter. My point about ancient texts being insufficient evidence and an inadequate form of communication for a god still stands either way.

I'm sure a god could figure something out themselves. Whether or not I can does not detract from my argument one iota.

I'm surprised you've made the statement 'I'm not sure', while in the middle of giving God advice.

But getting back to God 'walking among us', you would prefer he made his appearance to everyone and not just his selected chosen. But what if people were facing the wrong way, or didn't want to look?
