Why there almost certainly is No God!!

Nick Lane of University College London has just been awarded the Royal Society’s 2016 Michael Faraday Prize and Lecture, which “is awarded annually to the scientist or engineer whose expertise in communicating scientific ideas in lay terms is exemplary”. Nick is a brilliant writer of several books, including Life Ascending and, most recently The Vital Question, which Bill Gates fell in love with. (You can find more about his work, which has been translated into 25 languages, here). Home — Nick Lane

Nick is also a leading researcher on the origin of life, and in particular on the way that eukaryotes – organisms with a nucleus and above all with mitochondria – came about. His research and his way with words led to him being awarded the Prize this year, which is much deserved.

As you’ll have noticed from the title of the award, he also got to give a lecture at the Royal Society, which took place at the award ceremony on 1 February. His title was also the subtitle of The Vital Question – Why Is Life The Way It Is? The Royal Society has been incredibly speedy about editing the video and here it is, for your delectation.

It’s 55 minutes long (there are 2 mins of introductory remarks you can skip over before you get to the citation, and then the talk) so you need to take your time, or bookmark it for later viewing. It is highly recommended, with some very important and complicated ideas being put over in a simple and engaging manner – exactly really is brilliant, and will help you understand why we all are the way we are.

"The first is "faith in god" has killed thousands of hundreds of people and allows toautopoietically reproduce aworld enslaved by violence." See now your actually on topic and attempted to make a point that people can actually argue, well as before it was all verbal diahharea that was coming out of your gay mouth.

Correction here - religion hasn't killed nearly as many as the true believers in atheist leftism has - ref socialists, marxists, nazis, pol-potheads, maoists etc - same shit all of it.

Sure, the monotheists have a lot of blood on their hands too - but they're amateurs compared to the above group of mass-murderers.

The theists would add all the abortion deaths to the list of murdered too, but that's not necessary for atheist lefties to take the Blood Crown.

Disclaimer: agnostic and libertarian here - I don't believe in salvation from a deity any more than I believe that government can do much good beyond building roads and protecting property rights.

Jesus doesn't want us to be religious. He wants followers and fisherman of men. Religion is man made and ideals made up by us. What we think we should be. Such as some religions want you to where certain clothing or such. Jesus only wants you to serve him. It's not complicated. It can be hard to explain the feelings you may feel when he is in your presence though. I know undoubtably that there is a God. If you have never felt his presence I hope you will one day. To know him he only wants you to believe in him and accept him into your heart. We all fail him everyday. Saved or not. I sure do but he loves us regardless.

For Darwin Day, 6 facts about the evolution debate
For Darwin Day, 6 facts about the evolution debate

Sunday is the 208th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, a day now celebrated by some as Darwin Day. Darwin, of course, is best known for his theory of evolution through natural selection. When Darwin’s work was first made public in 1859, it shocked Britain’s religious establishment.

And while today it is accepted by virtually all scientists, evolutionary theory still is rejected by many Americans, often because it conflicts with their religious beliefs about divine creation.

While not an official holiday, Darwin Day has been adopted by scientific and humanist groups to promote everything from scientific literacy to secularism. This year, more than 50 events have been planned worldwide, many of them anchored by scientific talks or symposia. Others, such as a children’s scavenger hunt at the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., are a little less serious.

To mark the occasion, here are six facts about the public’s views on evolution, as well as other aspects of the debate in the U.S. and elsewhere:

1. Only a minority of Americans fully accept evolution through natural selection. Roughly six-in-ten U.S. adults (62%) say humans have evolved over time. But only a little more than half of them (33% of all Americans) express the belief that humans and other living things evolved solely due to natural processes.

2. While 98% of scientists connected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science say they believe humans evolved over time, only two-thirds (66%) of Americans overall perceive that scientists generally agree about evolution.

3. A series of court decisions have prohibited the teaching of creationism or intelligent design in public schools.

4. Of all the major religious groups in the U.S., evangelical Protestants are among the most likely to reject evolution.

5. More broadly, most Americans (59%) say that science and religion are often in conflict, but those who are more religiously observant are less likely than others to see this clash between faith and science.

6. Compared with the U.S., even larger percentages of people in many other countries reject evolution.

Torchbearer


"The Duck Commander" Phil Robertson, makes a compelling argument on the absurdity of life without God.

Featuring real-life footage from events throughout history and leading up to the modern day crisis of radical Islamic terrorism, Phil personally guides us through a journey that includes Athens, Greece; Rome, Italy; Paris, France; and even the notorious Nazi death camp of World War II, Auschwitz.

With a biblical perspective, Phil covers events ranging from the creation of the atomic bomb, the impact of the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement.

He uses these events to illustrate that God is the only meaningful anchor to a civilized society and calls on all of us to consider our faith.

Give me scientific proof there is no God is the question that needs to be answered

 

[ddp7]

That would be the popper's question

 

[ergomaniac]

Give me scientific proof there is no God is the question that needs to be answered

lmfao.
god doesn't need scientific proof, and the two are incompatible.

 

[ergomaniac]

heres a fun story.

http://foxnews.com/world/2017/02/03/spanish-nun-gets-death-threats-after-saying-mary-likely-wasnt-virgin.html

"a nun in spain has received death threats from angry catholics after suggesting that mary likely had sex with husband joseph- much like any 'normal couple' would."

"its hard to believe and hard to take in. we've ended with rules we've invented without getting to the true message."

I'm think'n its kinda like 'Double A" (not WWF)lol.

So in a rehab program this AA thing gives you 12 steps. ALL OF WHICH THERE IS NO CORRECT ANSWER. Sound familiar.. Anyone NOTICE how they just keep the rehabbers in a constant state of dread always telling them they can answer better..?!?! I DO believe the 12 step program is based on religion..

And WHAT ultimately happens. You play the game and just keep writing down BULLSHIT till they are satisfied you are MINDFUCKED SICK OF IT ALL.... (MORE LIKE YOUR $$ RUNS OUT)

YEA!!! Really sounding familiar now... HUH..

HOWEVER, I am spiritually natured and have strong faith in God... Even though he seems to REFUSE to SMITE DOWN ALL BLASPHEMOUS RELIGIOUS BASTARDZ... JK... LOL..

So my point is NOT to blast God and disprove him. But to point out HOW HE MUST EXISTS. WHY? Cause they say... And what do I know.. (NOT REALLY). But GOD is the FOUNDATION of EARTH SOCIETY...!

So you answer those questions in REHAB like they want or what? You might go to jail even.

You believe in God cause you don't want to got to hell. But MORE LIKE SOME PRETTY FUCKING SERIOUS POWER SAYS YOU BETTER... Is that your lying ass church?? Is that your fellow man living in FEAR (bible says is sin fyi), or is it our ET Master's super mind control the ultimate UNANSWERABLE PROPOSITION... I'm going with the ODDS thanks. Plus I CHOOSE to have faith in GOD. If not for, I GUARANTEE someone would have jumped in your house, raped your children, and eaten your wife, whilst they fucked yer ass loading your property into their TRUCK...

I GUARANTEE GOD has helped me on NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I CAN TESTIFY. I am NOT BLIND... Not am I a Roman Hipocrite POShIT...

There was NO "RANDOM" to the time my and little bro were playing some rambo shit with knives we were too young to have and the scabbord came off a 4" boot knife which I had been thrusting center mast at his heart pretenting to be a movie character. SOMEONE MOVED that last thrust when that scabbord accidentally came off about 6 inches over to only go into side body fat..! 4 inches IN!!!!!! and yet only a few stitches and a tube for a few days... I used to say that incident COULD HAVE changed my life forever...! LATELY I HAVE REALIZED IT DID...!!

Now that's a powerful ass God to hold all that nasty up now aint it..!!

lmfao.
god doesn't need scientific proof, and the two are incompatible.

 

[ddp7]

The "GOD problem" persists bc is not about GOD its about the GOD RULES and their practice by society.

NOW tell me ,what GOD´s RULE is hurting your ass?

GOD is not a ficitional caracter to laugh and destroy.Only a fool think in this way.

The big deal is SOCIETY and the GOD RULES.

IDIOT Lool

I couldn't read all of this at the moment, but while I think organized religion is a control mechanism used by many with different motives, I can not, as an intelligent and rational human being, look at the universe and even just our own bodies and the complexity of everything, the pure artistic nature of everything, and say "there is no creator" that's completely crazy. There's no way all this just happened. Im way too awesome to just "happen"
