Unlike religion, science does not claim to have all the answers. As a result it can continue to explore, research and add to its knowledge base.
Of one thing I am sure if the universe came into being by a sentient being rather than from some other process, there is no evidence that it was the god described by the Abrahamic religions during a period when humans believed the earth was the centre of the universe. Quite simply the actions attributed to this god reveal a very flawed manipulative being not capable treating his so called highest creation with respect (mankind) let alone set a process of planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, dark matter and possible multiple universes into creation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeXUMKd-CjY&feature=relmfu Posted by Ammonite, Wednesday, 7 September 2011 5:54:34 PM

"Unlike religion, science does not claim to have all the answers. As a result it can continue to explore, research and add to its knowledge base........Now that's about the best advice "all" peoples need to hear.
Religion....all the findings are in one book. Not much room to expand, but that was not its true reason, why it was made:) *You can keep monkeys at bay, by putting a stuffed lion at the water hole*:) Religion is what it is, and nothing else. It helps the weak, and its helps it self. Their just in the people business. With No tax. How sweet do you want a business:)? cactus:) Posted by Cactus:), Wednesday, 7 September 2011 6:29:10 PM

Philo : "Where can I see the something that came from a non existing reality?"
Hang on, that is what you are claiming. I'm not. I am saying there is no reason to say that naturalistic explanations are impossible. You are. Why could not the nothing we know of as a quantum foam have always existed? I put forward a video that explains this by one of the worlds leading physicists, what is meant by nothing and how we see things pop in and out of existence all the time. These particles have been shown to exist in the laboratory. This is a lot more evidence than you are providing, it's not saying it has the answer, only that we can observe and test this phenomena. It occurs. BTW where is your evidence a magical super entity created everything out of nothing? You claim something always existed, that this something is intelligent and controls everything, and is your god. Where is your evidence for ANY of this? At best you are saying something must always have existed, but you are not showing any evidence at all that it must be intelligent and not just a simple force. Nada, zilch, and it continues, the only way you can deal with it is to divert attention from your claim. Show us the evidence for it. I will happily change my position shown the evidence. Until then I cannot believe in something with none. I am atheist, just like 1 in 5 other Australians. Posted by woot, Wednesday, 7 September 2011 7:04:29 PM

A startling revelation god isn’t god, rather he is a she, yes god is a goddess.
“ The Rig Veda describes this "arising" as a divine whim or play of the Supreme. The creation that occurs is Mother (maya), the divine whim (Shakti) is also Mother and the absolute formless ground of being is, again, Mother. We can grab hold of her skirt at any point along this timeless expression of the Divine and, if we hold on tightly, She will dispel our illusions and deliver us to the blissful and peaceful realization of Divine Truth.” Grad hold of her skirt, more like get a grip on reality; Believers please answer one simple question for me. Is there one god or are there many gods? I won’t hold my breath waiting for an answer. Posted by Paul1405, Wednesday, 7 September 2011 9:50:21 PM

Atheist Foundation of Australia Inc,
your supercilious tone is hardly calculated to cajole me into further elaborations, so I shall desist, but thank you for the constructive criticism. hMMM, "Misanthropic"... ..Well yes I suppose I am, to a point anyway---loved Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf. But don't you think philanthropy and humanism, like religion, are a tad obsessive? Even narcissistic? ...What would Diogenes say? I don't understand all this obsessing over God--yes no, who cares? it's academic! It's so self-important! Especially since there are "real" problems in the here and now that need addressing--not window dressing. But what would I know? And Ditchkins mercifully takes the "freethinker's" mind off of all of that. ...On to "what" exactly, I couldn't tell you. And I doubt you could tell me. Diogenes'd know.. ..But never mind all that. ...ON WITH THE SHOW THIS IT!! Break a leg! Posted by Squeers, Wednesday, 7 September 2011 10:02:40 PM
