apparently you dont know how the world works because there's lots of people burning their wives and selling their daughters, and not all of them are christians, seems that 1 point for GOD since the bible tells us how the world really works, not the mechanics of it's workings
i nver claimed the bible explained how it does or doesnt work, i claimed it said how it shouldnt work.
and i agree, i dont know how the world works, but i think one day its something science will surmount, and religion will fail to do.

So we can just disregard the agnostics and fence sitters? How nice of us.
-------------------- "Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today." ~Lawrence Krauss

atheist like to believe that christians all believe that the earth was created in only 6 days, well the bible being written by men is just as fallible as the texts books, moses who wrote about the creation of the earth said 'god spoke everything into existence', maybe moses was in fact a visionary and those 'words' of god were the big bang but given the mentality and linguistics of people 6000 years ago it was all he could do to explain it as he did, what he 'saw' on Mount Sinai on his drug induced visions were 600 billion years over the course of 6 days
along comes other men that interpret the work of man to be the infallible word of god and they take those words literally and manage to keep some people ignorant even to this day, if you read the book of genesis, the creation of the earth somewhat coincides with the earths development as per science, again, we're dealing with simplistic writings from 6000 years ago in which someone was trying to explain it to the ignorant uneducated people of his time

like everything else in this world we pick and choose, we choose to believe certain fallacies like that science gets it right because there's checks and balances yet things get past and are published and people believe it, at one time the earth was the center of the universe and the earth was flat, science had proven that and to argue with science was like slapping god in the face... seems that hasnt changed much. research is often guided for the outcomes that the financier is seeking
in modern science there's fraud and deceit, much like religion, people want to pick and choose what they want to believe, government give us a push in certain directions by blocking research. huge corporations are splicing genes in plants and claiming that it will end world hunger while all the evidence shows that there's no additional production per plant and the produce from the plants are proving to be harmful, maybe their methods of ending hunger is to kill off the excess, just as scientists developed so many other ways of destroying humanity

QFT, to believe in such fairy tales and nonsense based on handed down stories and traditions that were used to manipulated the masses is utter nonsense.
To think for a second that people 2000 years+ depending on your faith were any more right about the significance, or lack there of in life is laughable at best.

I can explain in less than 25 words why God does not exist.
Matter cannot be created or destroyed. Everything that exists(matter) cannot be created or destroyed and thus there is no need for a creator (god).
I can prove without any doubt that Matter(everything that exists, including this thought and the processes that reproduce life) cannot be created or destroyed, simply changed into another form.
My theory of why people still believe in GOD is because many of the culturally awkward and weird, misunderstood things in our world, are what religion gives one an outlet for. Many people still believe in GOD and will argue against someone to keep themselves out of the confusion of being gay/lesbian, for example. Something that regardless of whether people are religious or not, does not fit into our patriarchal competitive society. It is then a reason to simply not question something that is already conflicting to them and their relationships. Ironically, it is religious beliefs that have brought this emotional atmosphere.
I believe also that religion was put together with the intention of making us hyper social and easy to control. Imagine a group of mamals hyper sexual and primal, now with a repressed sexual desire and see how much conflict that brings amongst the same group of monkeys? Now ask yourself, is it easier to divide and conquer or bring together and conquer? This is what religion does to, it sets us at odds with each other. It makes us be hyper competitive, instead of express our emotions naturally. It jsut makes it easier for a group who psychologically was superior to us to control our actions.

this doesnt explain why we should pick and choose from a said "divine text inspired by a perfect deity"
sure science isnt always right, but like i said earlier it is willing to admit it is wrong when it is wrong. honesty is the backbone of empirical science.
picking and choosing begs the question : is this 2000 year old book of none sense necessary at all? Are we getting are morals from somewhere else?

if you had read the bible you would know that its word of god, god breathed the word into man. how or why would he let man fuddle up the message?
and yes i have read the bible from cover to cover multiple times.
your opinion of god like hes jealous and violent contradict the biblical idea that god is perfect. there are way too many hoops you have to jump thru to make this idea acceptable.
