Have you ever lied? Stolen anything? Said the lord's name in vain? To god, you are a lying thief who swears on his name.. why would he want you in heaven?

But ignoring the question doesn't help your case either.

What if Bigfoot told you you'd go to Hell if you didn't believe in him?

Makes sense. Literally every single year that passes by, scientists find more and more exoplanets than the previous years. Science is evolving, and we're using many more methods of discovering these planets than we knew about years ago. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/files/2011/09/exocount1.gif In the next 10 years alone, we'll have discovered thousands of planets outside our own solar system. It's foolish to think Earth will be the only planet in the Universe that harbors life. Your eyes might be different than your cousin's, but in the end they serve the same purpose. If scientists were to find life outside of Earth, it would open the door for other discoveries of life as we know it. Finding a common factor of that planet and Earth, be it the atmosphere, ground conditions, or what have you... Life started on Earth, and life started on another planet, has to have a common scientific ancestor. The theory of gravity is just that.. a theory. Go test it out and see if it changes. Gravity exists whether you believe it or not. Give credit where credit is due. The Egyptians were years ahead of their time in many aspects of their daily life. Why is it that hard to imagine? Have you ever played a game of telephone? Imagine a 2000 year old game of telephone, started by some crazy people who thought the world was flat 2000 years ago. Seem plausible now? I have to ask you this - when you were going through your rough patch with your eyes, and you had all those surgeries in order to save them, was it an act of god saving your eyes, or the work of a medical doctor who's spent decades in school preparing to save his patient?

So if many of these stories are relatively similar, the only gap being the geography of where the religions started, would you still be the same faith that you are today if you were born in say, India, Israel, or Italy?

Why would we be mindless drones? Human would still have free will, religion would just be one more thing we wouldn't have to go to war about. Actually scientists discover exoplanets almost every day, and there are many planets inside a star's habitual zone, or zone in which it could theoretically support life. The earth is only unique in how we perceive science today - basically, when we find earth-like planets (which we have found many), soon we'll realize that we aren't special. We're in an average shaped galaxy in a slightly below average sized star on a medium sized planet that happens to fall inside the star's habitable zone. There's probably millions of earth-like planets in our own galaxy. We're not special.

It's interesting to note, and I don't have any sources, but many of the stories of the bible were actually told hundreds of years before their time, stolen from different religions. It's also interesting how before we were traveling the worlds... Egyptian gods looked like Egyptians (or animals haha), Indian gods looked like Indians, Chinese gods looked like the Chinese, etc. Coincidence?

Another great post.. you've got to be the most well-spoken 16 year old on the internet haha

So said child, who's parents were both killed, and who was born with AIDS, is supposed to believe in this God. He is supposed to thank god for the life given to him, and worship this God who gave him this shitty life. But if he doesn't... if he does not believe in this God whom he has never heard of, then he burns in a firey pit for the rest of eternity. Damn what a shitty deal for that poor child!

So he just sits back and watches thousands of undeserving children die every day. He has the power to stop it, but chooses not to. Correct me if I'm wrong by saying that.

You said he's patient and willing, which means he's CHOOSING to let these people suffer. I'm not twisting your words at all. If he was an all-loving god, he wouldn't pick and choose his favorites. EDIT: For example, what if I said I wasn't going to water my plant. To the plant, I am God. I provide it's water, it's sunlight, soil, everything it needs to survive. I'm going to be patient, and see if it can 'evolve,' or continue living, or if it'll figure out how to find the nutrients it needs by itself. Am I choosing to let it die, or not?

So your creator, your father, enjoys seeing his children perish under circumstances that only he can control?

First off +1 for the great post. And next, I'm not saying that if there were a creator in this world, that everything would have to be perfect. My opinion is that if a creator knowingly allows for mass destruction, why would you want that type of influence to be in your life? I don't question why a kid's lunch money gets stolen because that is apart of life, which is a part that I agree with you. I don't think life should be "perfect" in a sense, my biggest qualm is why would he just turn his back away on so many people who actually need God in their lives?

It's a possibility that there's life on Mars still - astronomers just recently (within the last 2 weeks or so) discovered that there's likely liquid water underneath the surface of Mars http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/nasa-mars-probe-finds-evidence-water-martian-soil/story?id=14233931#.UAdxaTGe6xI That's not the exact link, but its the same idea. And I do respect your opinion, and I apologize if it came off like I didn't.

I certainly respect the fact that you think you should personally take action, instead of how some people just think praying will work.

http://i.imgur.com/venYc.png You think a 2000 year old piece of fiction is true, I think modern day science is true.

Your opinion is that an orphan child born with AIDS who has never even heard of God deserves his suffering.

Typical believer response... I DON'T KNOW BUT THATS YOUR PROBLEM.

I'll call you an inhumane "person" who is a scare to everyday society if you truly think like that. That truly sounds like something Hitler would say. But of course not in German. The funny thing is you think they deserve it? Please tell me how a 6 month old orphan in Africa who lost his parents to a war and AIDS deserves what he's getting. You're a [expletive]ing asshole man.

So tell me then, why would you worship someone who advocates murders, rapes, and slavery? What about that says "Hey, that's someone I want to be like?"

Based on your lack of knowledge in the subject, saying we know hardly anything outside our Earth, I'm going to say you're bluffing about having any knowledge in the field.

I can't speak for/to a creator, but if I could I'd ask why would a creator of the Universe care about 16 year old Wali when there's mass genocide, famine, and wars going on every day that it chooses to ignore?

I'm sorry to say you wasted your time posting this, but you wasted your time posting this. Noneo f what you posted is scientific evidence, which is what I asked for. Show me a scientific article showing indisputable doubt of God's existence. None of this is scientific evidence as much as I say it's scientific evidence that Spiderman fights crime in NYC jsut because he's in a comic book. Need proof? It's in the comic book!

Why the [expletive] are humans special? You think you're entitled to something only because you're human and I just don't get why.

I respect your opinion, but could you post ANY scientific evidence of God's existence?
