To me it's the sun. I mean how amazing is it, that the sun is something like 92,000,000 miles from earth & we get heat from it ? It's my understanding that if the earth was just 3% closer or 3% farther away we couldn't survive. Not 5% one way and 1% the other way, or 4% one way and 2% the other way. But 3% in both directions. In other words the earth's distance from the sun is in the exact right spot for life to survive on earth...... Absolutely amazing.
What is one thing that makes you know that God is real.

The fact that there are literally trillions of planets and the fact that some of them are able to house life is still debated, but I personally think it's true.
not so much a god thread but the fact that sun supports life here is amazing. Reminds me of the Ali G skit where he askes buzz lightyear if man will evah ' walk on the sun, even if we go at night.
That some posters on The Paddock survived long enough to reach adulthood and learn how to use the internet.
Just kidding.
God's not real.

God is fine. His fan club is the problem.
I'm going to regret this but here-a-goes:
"Some estimates peg the Milky Way's star mass as having 100 billion "solar masses," or 100 billion times the mass of the sun. Averaging out the types of stars within our galaxy, this would produce an answer of about 100 billion stars in the galaxy....
Kornreich used a very rough estimate of 10 trillion galaxies in the universe. Multiplying that by the Milky Way's estimated 100 billion stars results in a large number indeed: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars, or a "1" with 24 zeros after it."
That's a lot of stars. As you know, our solar system with one star has 8 or 9 planets. One of them has life.
So it's pretty reasonable to assume there are many planets that are in the "goldilocks" zone.
I'm not debating whether there is a God or not but to say:
well, it's not that amazing. In fact, it may just be commonplace.

This is correct. All hail the mighty penis, the spiller of seed, the progenitor of life.
Deep thought:
With so many galaxies consisting of planets and stars, do you think there are multiple gods? Is ours better than theirs? Do they get along? Do they have their own Paddock?

Who says that a God rules a whole Galaxy? So far, all we believe in is Earth God. Maybe each planet has their own God. Maybe there was a Great War in the Solar System eons ago and Earth won. That's why there is no life on any of the other planets, and what killed the dinosaurs was just a casualty of war. Mars God gets pissed and flings one of their three puny moons at us, leaving two behind.
My kids... they're awesome. And every other kid in the universe sucks. That can't be a coincidence. That pretty much applies to dogs too.
Possibly. Grand prize was the Gatlinburg Papa Johns. Know there is a God b/c of this and He won any Great War to claim this.
Duke losing this game would go a long way to proving there is a God. No just God lets people like Grayson Allen prosper.
Don't know what but something is responsible for existence.
It had to have been designed somehow. Didn't just pop up from nothing.

Says who? The intelligent design fallacy is just an excuse until we understand how something works.
1500's: The inner planets all rotate around the Earth, and Jupiter orbits backwards for a bit because God wills it.
Today: The people in the 1500's were stupid.
You want to believe in order because on some level it gives substance to your life. That life being a unique and very random accident is unfathomable because that would mean that we are all inconsequential specks of dust in a universe that barely notes our presence.
Here's the truth: You will live, you will die and there will come a day your name will no longer be uttered. You will not be remembered and in 10,000 years your presence on this Earth will not even be noted.
********. That tree that I wrote Jim Bob Carl Danny Frank wuz here is gonna stay forever!
Great. But you know what will note my presence? You. When you pay me 500 bucks after we get our 6th win next football season.
Says me. The question was one thing that makes you believe.
I don't believe the entire galaxy started out of no where.
I don't believe the question was let's debate a bunch of wise *** intellectuals.
Because he said so.
I don't think we are all here by accident. I don't think I came from an ape or a catfish.
If there was a big boom God created it.
Scientists always talk about what happened millions of years ago. How the hell do they know.
Human history only goes back to a point. If not God how? Who and Why"
When you were a kid did you ever wonder Why am I?

Then state your belief as a hypothesis, not a fact, since what you believe and what can be proven are two different things.
Why does it HAVE to have been designed? Why can't it just be. You put hydrogen and oxygen together, it just happens to make water on it's own. Who is to say that when you mix amino acids, some water, and a little warmth that life just naturally wants to happen?
100% on board with science... completely fascinated by theories of relativity, the big bang, etc. I understand carbon dating and it's pretty clear that the universe is billions of years old.
<----- All that said, still strongly believes in God
No issue with people who don't, but I hate "angry atheist guy". I think deep down they're just mad that God made them such miserable people.

You make WAY too much sense, pal. Need to get rid of that logic, reason, and proof.
Work of the devil!
Highly regarded quantum physicist Dr. Michio Kaku is in on record for believing in the existence what he calls grand orchestrating designer(s) (GOD), based on the complexity and order of the universe and the life we know on this planet, he believes it's virtually impossible that everything occurred naturally without some sort of intelligent assistance.
Until we can comprehend such things as what lies beyond infinity or the known universe and what happened before "the beginning of time" or the big bang, we are like chimpanzees trying to discuss differential calculus. But that's a position that never sells because humans by their very nature want "certainty", even when it is virtually impossible.

Folks believe in God the same way people believe in sentient alien life:
They don't want to admit that we're just a happy accident and life has no meaning or greater purpose than pure existence.

But you just said "highly regarded quantum physicist Dr. Michio Kaku" has it all figured out. Thankfully we have him to tell what is right and what is not right.
Fold'em fellas. Dr. Kaku got it all figured out
don't think he claims to have it figured out, but what it boils down to is a binary choice, (a) the university and the life that is in it is/was a result of natural events or (b) the universe and the life in it is/was a result of some sort of intelligent design or intervention.
Take you pick, I vote for b as the most likely.
The bottomless collection plates. People have been throwing money in them for centuries and they have never come close to filling up.
It's a miracle I tell ya...

The very idea of God. If there wasn't a God, why would it have even come up/occurred to us?
Unless some people, way way back, figured out that they could control most, if not all of the rest of the humans by inventing a fearsome, omnipotent figure, that could bless or curse certain behaviours, attitudes, money management.
Oh ****, (face-palm)...

Syracuse not making the tournament this year should be conclusive proof to anybody.
