Debate Information

yesterday I made a work bench. I made it for myself, not for the termites that got into it. last week I made a swimming pool. For myself, not for the neighborhood kids. When people make things, it is generally made for whom ever made it. The same goes for the universe. If there is a creator, it is more-than-likely that the universe was created for the purpose of the individual(s) who made it; not for our use. We are just by-products of the creation. Please no circular reasoning by pointing at the bible and say the  bible says differently.

    You state .....The same goes for the universe.

    My reply .....The same does not go for the Universe that’s merely your opinion how do you know the mind of a god?

    You say .....If there is a creator, it is more-than-likely that the universe was created for the purpose of the individual(s) who made it; not for our use.

    My reply .....Yes indeed IF , Why is it more likely what do you base this assumption on if you do not know the mind of a god?

    @Dee for the same reason that you believe that you know the mind of god. You should research on how the Bible was originally compiled and written; any open minded individual would do so.

    You say ......for the same reason that you believe that you know the mind of god.

    My reply .......Oh so it’s a particular god as in the Christian god you speak of , I don’t believe in a god I know the alleged  nature though of the fictitious Christian god the same way Christians do by reading the Bible 

     You say .....You should research on how the Bible was originally compiled and written; any open minded individual would do so.

    My reply ......I’m an expert on the Bible , you’re not and I doubt you’ve even read it. You’re certainly not open minded as your whole debate topic is merely an opinion piece stating there is god because you say so

    Again being anti religious, is voluntary.

    Just as being religious, is voluntary.

    And the internet, is where some of the anti religious, gather to protest religion, via their various, anti religious mindsets? 

    Just as parishioners gather in a religious building, to engage in their individual religious beliefs?

    Who knows... Maybe the creator of this universe (IF there is one, and that's a big IF) is just a creation of someone else and its job is to create universes on an assembly line... This creation would then not be created for the purpose of this creator...

    I don't know that this supposition would be less-than-likely than your supposition, I mean with IFs, we could put Paris in a bottle right?

    My research is what a very religious friend who dropped out of a very prominent religious school because he couldn't believe what he was being taught. According to him the TRUTH they walked around was: The Bible's parts were written either in ancient Hebrew or Aramaic, on stone, papyrus, etc., sometimes only fragments of which survived. This was interpreted and written several times by hand, then translated into ancient koine Greek (by the Emperor Constantine and his passionate "monks" (or whatever they were called), and copied by hand several times, then translated into Latin and copied by hand several times, and then translated into Elizabethan English and printed, with opportunities for error and misinterpretation (by passionate belief?), at every single stage. 

    That makes it a book of hearsay at best. Now, if the author of said book would show up once in a while, instead of being off creating new galaxies, we could get the mistakes corrected, rid ourselves of false "gods", and ALL believe what would be unarguably true … while we rid ourselves of the main causes of war. S/HE/IT could explain why S/HE/IT HAS to create disasters or diseases that kill hundreds / thousands of creations, explain what we could do to save the "created world", or maybe find out that we are just an old model that's being traded in. Walking around blind … or having to follow some person who says he has a connection to the Creator, and knows exactly what S/HE/IT's thoughts are, is causing a LOT of problems, especially where there are SO MANY who disagree about S/HE/IT'S thoughts. Confusion reigns.

    On more thought: If something as complex as GOD can exist without a creator, why can't something as complex as the Universe exist without a creator?

    You say ......many people are missing the debate part of my post and going off on a tangent. I’m not arguing it’s idea of a creator. The starting point is assuming that there is one.

    My reply ......But you post a topic up saying there is a creator and then making a remark regarding the nature of this creator as in “the Universe was not created for our use “ you refused to address my objection as in “ “ How do you know it was not for our use”? 

    Saying there is a god is merely your opinion as indeed is speculation about its nature , why could you not address this from my first reply instead of all these pointless asides?

     
  • maxxmaxx 1131 Pts   -  
    @maxx @Dee in a debate, one argues in reply; they do not ask how com you think so. Your reply should have gone along the lines as to why or why not a creator created the universe for a personal use.
  • maxxmaxx 1131 Pts   -  
    @Dee you know, insulting others is what is wrong with people on this site; perhaps you should stick to Facebook. I prefer intelligent answers. I never brought up god, I said a creator and you are the one who emphasized the word “ if”, not me. I never said my post was true. I said that in general when one creates something it is for personal use and do not see any reason why a creator would not do the same. I don’t have any proof anymore than you do when you point at the Bible, except you would say the Bible is true because the Bible says so

    You say .....I prefer intelligent answers.

    You say ..... I never brought up god, I said a creator and you are the one who emphasized the word “ if”, not me.

    My reply .....Creator regarding bringing a Universe into existence is commonly called god you , the “if “ was to demonstrate to you you that you were making an assertion without proof

    Calling others and their posts dumb and basically because it conflicts with what they believe shows a low mentality;  I suggest you find another post to vent your inner hostility for if you continue in the same venue, it will only go to show others upon here how inconsiderate, insecure, and emotionally distraught that you are.

    @Dee as well, you called me by saying my use of a creator and universe together designates a god; pretty naïve considering for all you know we could be in a scientific induced computer simulation; I suggest you read more; perhaps it will broaden your mind instead of what you sit on. now go away; its no wonder this site got such bad rating when people like you are on it.

    You say .....pretty dumb huh; satisfied little coward?

    My reply .....Yes you are dumb and a coward 

    You say .......now go wipe your nose and pretend you did something great.

    My reply ......Stop sulking and attempt to prove your God contention but you cannot which is why you’re doing this childish avoidance tactic, you didn’t even know what creator meant when it applied to one creating a Universe did you Doofus?

    Have you seen the original manuscripts?

    The oldest copies of the bible are not hidden. We have them. What we have today can be compared. It does not differ.

    And you have never seen the original manuscripts. But we have so many copies from different times and different places that we know what the originals said, and have been able to dismiss mistakes and fakes.

    >The original manuscripts are so far removed from what we read today that it has lost the original message

    That is blatantly untrue. But if you will only discuss the claim in your OP, which is so presumptive it needs no reply, OK.

    I don't think you'd enjoy "discussing" either of your uninformed positions with me any way. I have this pesky tendency to require logic of everyone.

    And you seem to have a problem with logic. Have a nice day.

  • ethang5ethang5 258 Pts   -  
    @maxx

    Maybe then you worded it wrong.

    No truly smart person would debate your position in the OP because it is ludicrous.

    Basically you told us your uninformed opinion, which in itself, didn't make sense. What were we to do with that?

    And don't mind dee, he/she is one of our anti-theist trolls. He insults everyone so don't feel special. Dee doesn't debate, he only wants other posters to give him an excuse to rant, insult, and take childish pot shots at God.

    The typical net religion troll.

    As for your OP.

    I made a chicken coop. It was "for" me yes, but not "for" me depending on what "for" means.

    I built a house. My wife and kids lived in it but they were not by-products of the building, they were the reason I built it, and still, the house is "for" me.

    All of this is so obvious most people do not think it needs be mentioned, much less debated over.

    But if you think that God created the universe for Himself and we are byproducts, and this belief has interesting implications, please tell us what those implications are.

    That could be interesting.

    The error in your reasoning is the implication that a creator made this Universe not for us but it's own self. If that were true then the so called creator wouldn't have created us humans or other living species.

    If you think about it, absolutely anything you do, you do for yourself. Take the most altruistic, the most charitable act in the Universe - and you will see that, fundamentally, it comes from your desire to satisfy one of your needs.

    So of course a creator of a Universe would create it only for themselves. Now, what part of them caused such creation is an open question - but in the end, they decided to do it because they had some needs that had to be satisfied in such a spectacular way.
    maxxZeusAres42
  • The original argument was that because we humans create things for our own use then this means that if a creator created the universe they too would have created the universe for their use and not for our use.

    Now, the problem with this argument is that we humans are part of this universe; made from the very same stuff. So if a creator created this universe then they too would have created this universe for our use because they also created us, and for us to use this universe however we deemed fit within the boundaries of that creation.
