I've seen Dusty actively go against claims like this so I would assume this is a fake.

Exactly. I'd press charges just to be that extra bit of an asshole.

Shameless self promotion XD

Good work though

I know. I like posting and seeing if anyone in the post is still active =P

I actually memorized the url by the dQw4w so ha!

I was about to say something about how stupid and fucked this conversation is but then I remembered some of mine. Carry on.

Hey! Rosebud! It's me from the future! You haven't met me yet but you will and I promise you'll love me!

Says the people who use a banana for scale...

Which brings me back to the traumatizing times where getting shot with metal airsoft bullets was a light punishment. Fuck. Better go read fanfiction.

It's anime: Just have your character always have a piece of hair over his eye.

A common misconception is that it is caused by the centrifugal force pushing turbulent air out causing a very loud noise.

I'm going to eat my bacon sandwich now. I got fanfiction to read, netflix to watch, and code to make. I'll be back in a few hours so feel free to comment.

God doesn't have to be proven not to exist - it must be proven TO exist first.

But let's put that aside. We cannot prove there is no god. But that doesn't mean it's Yahweh. Or Allah. In fact it is impossible for it to be either due to their own nature. An omni-benevolent god cannot be evil. This perfect Yahweh says that there is a single morality that all humans follow - which is obviously false. Allah made the Sun stop rotating around the Earth. The flaw in these gods are so blantant that the only reason they were ever believed is because they were never told. Only in the past few hundred years did the average person EVER have the capability to read their holy book. They had to take the word of their leader that it was a good book and truthful. Isn't it funny that the more intelligent people become the less likely they are to believe in any religious text? I'm not talking about getting your Doctorate smart. I mean being able to read smart. Do simple math. As soon as humans were able to learn the truth about their "holy" religion they began to leave.

Your argument is that we are unable to prove that there is no god. You seem to point towards a deistic god - which means that while a god created the universe, it doesn't care about it. To still a meme "A C- experiment sitting on an alien's shelf" - but that matters little. Nothing, not a single shred of evidence, points towards any supernatural being existing. Science doesn't care about not being able to prove something. Something that cannot be proven false, can never be proven true. Science will always fight Theism as they stand on complete opposite sides. Science vs Theism. Truth vs Belief. Fact vs Magic. Atoms vs Unicorns.

We, as scientists, have an entire basis of reality to stand upon - that wasn't just pulled out of our someone's ass when we were desperate for answers. Gods are formed on the confusion and misunderstandings of humans - but we have evolved past such a point where we need not make up fairy tales to explain why the tides move in and out, why the Earth orbits the Sun, why the stars seem to fall at night. Science has given us everything, EVERYTHING, that we as humans need to survive, live, and thrive. Ancient (and some modern) religions seeks to tear all that down because they feel lonely and need a masterful sky god to stop them from jerking off at night.

With a control we could see how the laws of a universe differ or perhaps gain insight into how they are formed but we don't even have evidence for the existence of other universes. By the very definition of universe we are ALL that exists. If it's not in our universe then it doesn't exist - because all that exists is in our universe. We see the wonder and beauty of the universe and see little mystery in how it was created. We know, with the closest certainty you can have, how stars were formed. We know how life was formed. We have proven that life needs no godly influence to exist. We can see the complexity of life evolve from the simplest of atoms.

Just because it cannot be disproved doesn't mean it exists. You can't prove that tiny pink Flamingos are the omniscient gods of out universe but they are most certainly not real. You are simply using flawed arguments to defend a flawed position. Probabilities mean nothing in science due to observational studies outweighing theoretical ones.

Gnosticism describes knowledge. Theism defines belief. You can believe without knowing and you cannot believe while knowing (Theists are fond of this one). You can be an agnostic Christian. Knowing and belief are completely different thoughts that cannot be compared.

A control is good to have but not necessary. We cannot get likelihoods about the formation of our universe, however if a god truly existed then we wouldn't have such a flawed universe. The claim you are making points towards a deistic god which we have no evidence for. The lack of evidence is not evidence for something. If you want to prove a god exists then bring evidence.
