BRAIN. Like drugs, sex, music, food or gambling, religious feelings activate the brain areas involved in the reward circuit. This is what emerges from a study conducted by the University of Utah in the United States and published in the journal Social Neuroscience.

I have in no way implied that I believe there is no God. I didn't say it's not possible; I said it's not possible for us to know.

This type of responses is a great display of how incapable you are of rational logic. If you're unable to tell "You cannot know for sure whether it's true or not" apart from "I know it's not true", you really shouldn't be spending time in PaRD. But then again, this is something we all know about you.

All I know for sure is that I know very little and for that reason I am skeptical and critical but completely open and willing to accept the truth when it is shown to me and not until then

I believe "the world Is insane"... Why : because we allow a few to create nuclear waste they have to store for 100,000's of years and charge us for it.. while charging us for some power today, to run more robots so they can fire us... :lol:

Good. Strong evidence that we are naturally religious, designed to be religious for a reason.

One more evidence there is a god.

Absolutely nothing.

I believe that, if you are a scientist with any kind of self-awareness, you know that you cannot be atheist or theist. There is simply no information about how the universe was created, and even if we figure this out, it'll only mean that the new question will be: What set this creating force in motion?

In other words;
1. Current question: What created the universe?
2. Someone proves that X created the universe.
3. New question: What created X?
Rinse and repeat. You can even boil this down to questions like "Why does electric charge exist?", "Why does gravity exist?", "What causes particles to have a mass?", etc. Every answer always immediately poses a new question.

Most of all, I hate theists for completely denying this paradox. They say God created the universe, which is fine, but they entirely refuse to even think about what has created God. Instead, they come up with bullshit such as "Before God created time, there was no concept of 'before' and 'after'. So, there is nothing that came before God, for 'before God' is an incorrect way to think about it."

Seeing that generally the question of God's existence is not in the realm of any of the sciences bar theology scientists naturally hold a vast amount of differing opinions on the subject matter.

The "what created the uncreated creator?"-counterargument is weak. If the theistic answer to the question of the origins of being is to posit an uncreated being without a beginning then questioning the origins of the said uncreated being is in no way a counter-argument.

Exactly my point. We ask "What created the creator", and theists entirely deny having to answer by saying that the creator was not created. That's absolute top shelf level of dodging.

Tell me this: if the creator was not created, then why do we assume that the universe was created?
