9/8/2013 12:15:16 AM Posted: 6 years ago The Fool: I didn't know you had to do anything. Lol. Not believing, is not an active thing is it.. I don't really do anything to not believe. If I do it hardly takes any effort, at least I don't notice it.
I'm sure I'm not believing in a bazillion things I don't know.. I just can't know it. Perhaps I should be named a name for each thing I don't know, that I'm not believing. And synonymously, for each name I don't know that I'm not believing in that I don't know that I'm not believing in. I'm not believing, that their dragons outside my door, should I then be called a Adragonist, I'm not believing that blue really Red, perhaps I should be called in ABlue-Redist. Notice how only one side, IMPOSES, on the other side, but is not the other way around. Why do we have to be even called anything? I only need one name. Stop calling us names!!!!! "The bud disappears when the blossom breaks through, and we might say that the former is refuted by the latter; in the same way when the fruit comes, the blossom may be explained to be a false form of the plant's existence, for the fruit appears as its true nature in place of the blossom. These stages are not merely differentiated; they supplant one another as being incompatible with one another." G. W. F. HEGEL |

Has nothing ever been observed in nature? Short answer, nope, there's no evidence that nothing has ever existed, in fact, by definition, it hasn't.

One, it's "provably impossible" for nothing to exist, it's a contradiction interms. Two, if you argue that in the beginning something came from God, then by following the same logic, God came from nothing. Infinite regression is always a bad argument, wherever you try to stop it, it can always be asked, but where did that come from. What's the difference between saying God always existed and saying the universe always existed? What's the difference between asking what came before the Universe and asking what came before God? If you say nothing came before the Universe and therefore the Universe came from nothing, then you have to say the same thing about God and you are right back to "provably impossible". Fact is, "in the beginning" drives us into a logically inconceivable area, no matter how you slice it. Logically, you just cant get there from here.

9/8/2013 1:00:06 PM Posted: 6 years ago Theists always try to shamelessly straw-man Atheism. I have had theists say that to be an Atheist, you have to believe that matter and motion are all that exist....What?! Lol To be an Atheist, all you "have to do" is not believe in God; that's it.
