Why Atheism is not the default position

Response to comment [from an atheist]:  "And lightning looks designed which points to a big guy up there throwing it at people when he is mad."

You disagree with Ps 19:1?

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "...[A]theism is a worthless philosophical viewpoint..."

True. Their reasons for rejecting God are emotional and spiritual not logical (1 Cor 2:14). They must repent (1 Cor 12:3; 2 Ti 2:15).

"It's illogical...illogical!" ~ Sarek, Star Trek

Response to comment [from an atheist]:  "I've never had that "natural" expectation or that "natural" understanding."

Someone's not telling the truth (Ro 1:18). You know there's a God. Always the game player.

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "It is easier to believe in God than not..."

But added assumptions are so fun, you see (Heb 11:25).

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "...[P]eople become atheists as time goes by..."

They know there's a God. They reject him (Ro 1:18).

Response to comment [from other]:  "...to accuse others of dishonesty just because they don't believe the same as the fundies..."

I would never do such a thing. God would (Ro 1:18).

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "You can't start from a default position that there is no God because you need something to negate before you can negate it..."

"The atheist cannot account for (1) the existence of laws of logic, (2) why they are immaterial, (3) why they are universal, (4) why they do not change with time, and (5) how human beings can possibly know about them or their properties..." ( The New Answers Book 3, Ham, pg. 268).

Wasn't the Bible Written by Mere Men?

Response to comment [from other]:  "Your source is a book written by humans..."

You know that's not true.

Inspired Scripture

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "I assume you are ignoring the inspiration factor?"

He'd never do that. "I can't hear you..."

Response to comment [from other]:  "Lol...now you're lying again..."

Guess we'll have to wait and see (Heb 10:31, Ac 5:3).

"Fundies like to claim that the Bible is "inspired by God". Okay...but what is the source of that statement...the Bible itself?  You mean...it's true just because a book says it's true? Cool. That means every book on evolution is true...because I say it's true."

Who says? Man? Go with that then (Re 22:11).

"...[I]t certainly doesn't mean that, because the Bible claims it was "inspired" by God...that God actually exists..."

You'll have to ask God about that. He's a good source (1 Chron 22:19).

By the way, are you transcendent?

Wasn't the Bible Written by Mere Men?

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "Did humans know that the universe was expanding when the Bible was written..."

Design says something about the designer. Sort of describes his love for us (Ro 8:39).

Response to comment [from an atheist]:  [So that they don't have to think]:  "No true atheist would say that."

There are no "true" atheists (Ro 1:18).

Response to comment [from an atheist]:  "Sort of like my loony Uncle Floyd: I know he exists, but I behave as if he doesn't.  Is that the type of rejection you're talking about?"

You admit you are not all-knowing (omniscient); You know you were not present at creation (omnipresent); You realize that you did not/nor could you stop the inspiration of scripture (omnipotent)--so is it God's character that you call into question?  You believe he is not worthy of worship?  

Response to comment [from an atheist]:  [Vid:  "It ain't necessarily so"]

I figured you for a show tunes guy.

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: [An atheist toying with a Catholic] "Is it possible, then, for a person to have a "closed" heart and be unaware of it?"
 

Is he looking for a play toy? 2 Ti 3:7.

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death ~

Response to comment [from other]:  [Energy] ...[I]t went somewhere in the system? Where did it go..."

Quality of.

Response to comment [from an atheist]:  "[D]eep."

Accurate.

"Theocreologists are a funny bunch. They don't know science from a stump..."

How do you define science?  Are you speaking about observational science?  Historical science?

"They would never dream of going to an original source, or even a text, or maybe going to, like you know, college..."

The mechanical engineer I quoted did not go to college?
