  1.  @annberlin5811  My youngest brother passed away from covid. Two of my friends mother's passed away from Covid. A few more friends and acquaintances contracted covid. But fortunately they lived. I have no idea from what you're saying. If you are denying the reality of covid. If you are. You are foolish. The debate over whether Covid was accidentally or purposely spread. Is of no comfort when you experience personal loss of Family and friends.

  2. Where is your evidence that there was a coverup regarding Covid?
    129
  3.  @maggiemae7539  seriously? My youngest brother passed away from Covid. Two of my friends mother's passed away from covid. The debate over how covid was introduced into the population. Is irrelevant when you experience personal loss. Anyone who denies the reality of covid is a fool.

  4.  @jdthecrazy  yes. People will go along with whatever. They'll listen to conspiracy theorists. Ignore reality. And buy into someone's paranoid ramblings. That is their default position. They are sheep. Who call all other's sheep. It's sad.
    62
  5.  @YThatesTRUTH  everything is not a conspiracy. If that is someone's default position. Then they are the sheep that they accuse other's of being.

  6.  @traveljunky3610  your hope is that this woman doesn't vote? Is that because her thinking doesn't fall into everything is a conspiracy. And that you are in the know? Do you feel you have some special knowledge that few other's possess? And that you are so wise. Well you don't. And you aren't. Get over yourself.

  8.  @traveljunky3610  everything is a conspiracy. Is that it?

  9.  @leroyfaka "those people killed their own father and or mother in nursing homes because they wanna protect them?" Well my youngest brother was not in a nursing home when he contracted the virus. And passed away. One of my friends mother was in a nursing home when she passed away from covid. But she was in constant communication with her mother. And another one of my friends mother contracted covid while living at home. And then died fairly quickly after admission to the hospital. Because she was too sick with the virus. That the respirator and treatment could not save her. How about doing some thinking. Before making ignorant assumptions?

  10.  @autumnlover5784  I assure you. You are not the strange one. Because you had no inclination. Or interest in paying attention to the conspiracy theorists. It is sad that those who think paranoid Ill informed conclusions. are the norm. And rational thinking is naive.

  11. One needs to understand that the science presented on YouTube, Facebook etc. Is not established science. It is speculation. And presented in an entertainment format

  13. Yeah that anyone would find the idea of radio transmission's. Between the Earth and the Moon a difficult concept. Is beyond me. In this specific instance. It's not rocket science 😁

  14.  @balfrey1982  it is truly mind boggling. That you apparently think that what you're saying is correct information. I'm sorry. I'm not saying this to be insulting. But the arrogance from ignorance. That many conspiracy theorists display. Is disturbing and sad. There are those who are leading a mindless march towards a new dark age. Do you really want to be part of that? I can always hope that I or other's will be able to reason with at least one conspiracy theorists. And help them towards a world free of paranoia. That uses the scientific method to acquire knowledge. And make decisions based on the knowledge acquired.

  15.  @WoodysOpinion101  ah yes. Use an ad hominem. Call me a hypocrite. What a great argument for your position. What exactly are you referring to calling me a hypocrite?

  16.  @annberlin5811  I may have already replied to you. Nevertheless. Have you lost anyone close to you because of covid? If not your fortunate. But there are those of us who have. And as far following the science. Would that be the pseudo science that you follow. That tells you that you know more about viruses than doctors and the medical field in general? Or do you believe that the vast majority of doctors and nurses violated their oath to do no harm? Well it doesn't matter if you think that. I've heard everything that you have. And you know what? Those who think that there's a vast conspiracy. Are not using critical thinking. I venture to guess that you and those of your mindset. Have a wish that it is a conspiracy. You have an emotional need to think that you see something. Or have an understanding. A special knowledge. Wisdom that most other's lack. Well I'm sorry. You don't. Go ahead. Respond to this with some arrogant ignorant remark. Tell those of us who lost loved ones. How we were fooled. Go ahead. Insult our intelligence. Disrespect those of us who have lost loved one's in the pandemic. Or. Just maybe. You could show some humanity and humility. And get past the paranoia.

  17.  @randyschissler5791  you are totally correct regarding the dust being kicked up. And dropping right down. As would be expected in an airless environment. One only needs a high school understanding of physics to realize. That what they were seeing on the footage of the moon walks. Was exactly how things would be in an. Airless low gravity environment.

  23.  @lori9333  unless there's a prophecy. That precisely states exact names, places, and time. It's not a prophecy. There hasn't been one yet that has been fulfilled. All prophecies. Whether they're from the bible/any holy book. Nostradamus' prophecies. They are all bunk.
    6
  24.  @balfrey1982  ad hominems. Are pointless in discussions. If you're implying that I'm being childish. That's attacking my character. Nothing to do with the subject at hand. Ad hominems are used to distract from the topic being discussed. When one of the parties involved in the discussion. Have nothing of value to add to the conversation. I presented to you. Articles that could've been a learning experience for you. That quite clearly showed where you were lacking in information. Had false information And where you were in error. e.g. What a satellite is. I presented articles to you that detailed how communication between the Earth and the moon was achieved. That what you said about it not being possible to send a signal between the Earth and the moon. Because the signal would not go through the Earth's atmosphere and the different layers. That is total nonsense. It is laughable. Because the reasons you give. Show a lack of understanding. In radio. A lack of understanding of the atmosphere. Willful ignorance is not a virtue. There is no shame in not knowing something. But it is a shame to pretend that you know something that you don't..

  27.  @everything_is_lie_08 and some independent thinking. As well as critical thinking. On approaching the subject. Leaving any personal bias out of any conclusions. That's the kind of journalism. I will respect. Citing several sources that you received information from. Is pretty much the backbone of journalism. Except in cases where someone wants to be anyomous. Never give up a personal sources. However. If it's to be demonstrated. That the claims made are true. Then it would behove you to come prepared. When you make those claims. Criticizing other's of not doing independent research Doesn't add anything to the discussion. And is assumptive of you.

  28.  @thewilkyway3651 speculation and suspicion with bias. And lack of reputable sources. Does not lend itself to supporting claims of a conspiracy.

  31. ​ @sammaimas155 I to admire Musk. But because of a few different reasons. That is not the case anymore However I'm not going to critique how he is running his business. It would be pointless to criticize, anyone with a lot of money. Money tends to make one deaf to criticism. Especially if the criticism is coming from someone such as myself. Poor. Why would they care?

  40.  @Schmidtelpunkt  Tell that to the crew of Apollo 13. Jim Lovell is still alive. They improvised. Using the LEM as a lifeboat so to speak. Using socks attached by duct tape on the CO2 filters. Because of the CO2 build up. They had to make it up as they went along. Their successful return to Earth was because of the efforts of the Apollo crew. And the ground crew. That they survived was not a given.

  42.  @rockethead7  the main thing I think is. The conspiracy theorists forget. Is that the Moon is not the Earth. What their expectations are of how things should react. Is different than how they do react.

  44.  @ronaldgreene5733  the LEM was designed to perform in the lunar environment. No air. 1/6 the gravity of Earth. It was designed to do the Job that it did. The designer's should be shown some respect. They were intelligent, skillful. And resourceful. And part of one of the greatest achievements in history.

  45.  @annberlin5811  whoa just ran into this comment. Did you not just quote to me? That insult was the last resort of someone who who had no argument? So I'm still trying to figure out what exactly you found to be insulting? I had Just messaged you. And to then read this. I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here. We got off topic here. How about discussing the topics of the moon landings. And discuss Covid as well. since that got pulled into the conversation. You can present your side of the issues. Why you believe what you do. And I can present why I believe in what I do. No rush on that. I have to go and do some adulting. Oh btw. I don't have to feel insulted to know that it's the intent of the remark to be insulting.

  47.  @by1310  my sister passing away in August of 2020. From natural causes. Followed by in September of 2020 my youngest brother passed away due to covid-19. Then in October of of 2020. A Long time friend passed away from heart failure. In November one of my friend's mother passed away due to covid-19. In February another one of my friend's Also lost their mother from covid -19. During this time I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. On September 18th a day before my daughter's 36th birthday. She passed away from colon cancer. That's where I've been for the past Three year's. What does common sense tell you from my experience? Were there doctor's labeling every death as covid -19? No. My sister wasn't. My brother yes. My longtime friend was heart failure. My two friend's who's mother's passed away due to covid-19 yes. My daughter died from Colon cancer. No attempt to label her death as having resulted from covid-19. Common sense tells me. That my brother. And my friend's mother's death were the result of covid-19. Because they had contracted the virus. Viruses and epidemics do happen. And sometimes they become pandemics. This is reality. Did you experience the death of anyone close during the past Three year's? And if so were any of those deaths said to be because of covid-19. And did you dispute the diagnosis? If that was the case? Did any of what you experienced in the past Three year's? Add validity to the conspiracy theory. Because my experience did no such thing. Common sense indicates that this conspiracy theory. Was nonsense. Do some research. And you will see that it's a conspiracy that's been totally debunked. All version's of the conspiracy. Which particular theory did you believe was what was happening? Because there was more than one. And they often conflicted with each other. Paranoid delusional thinking. Based on misinformation. Is not common sense.

  49. Thank you for your recounting of your experience watching and recording the launch of Apollo 17. I was 15 years old in 72. I followed the Apollo missions from the start. But unfortunately never got to attend a launch. It is disheartening to have people. Call one of the most remarkable achievements in history a hoax. They just don't get it. It seems that ignorance has become a virtue. Well we know that it actually happened. And they can't take that from us.

I feel sorry for those who think they know what other's are thinking. I feel sorry for those who cannot leave primitive superstition behind. And deal with reality. Demonstrate that your god exists. Arguments are not evidence. If you can't demonstrate that there is a god (and no one has). Then you don't know that there is a god. If you can't show it. You don't know it.

  54.  @balfrey1982  come on. You can't be that clueless about how things work. And how subjects that seem to have you baffled. Such as how they could send radio transmission's between the Earth and the moon. Again the problems that you think there are in radio transmission's. Are non existent. Whether it's transmission through the atmosphere. Or keeping a signal locked on. These are not problems. Only problems for you. How did you even come up with the idea that the atmosphere would make it impossible to accomplish this? Are you going by what somebody is telling you? Or did you come up with the idea that. The atmosphere would be a problem in transmission. I'd venture to guess that you. Or whoever is telling you this nonsense. Heard about that radio signals can become trapped in the atmosphere. And not learning what signals get trapped. How long they are trapped. If you bothered to try and learn how these things work. You might be able to understand that no problem exists.

I'm neither left leaning. Nor right leaning. I vote about the issues. Neither party has the monopoly on how to govern. Back in the day. Those on either side of the aisle. Use to go out for dinner and drinks with fellow colleagues. It didn't matter if they were democrat or republican. They could appreciate that one party does not have all the solutions. That it took people from both sides of the aisle to come up with solutions. Ask yourself. Do you believe that there should be only one party? Do you believe In the US Constitution? Do you believe that Trump has any respect for the constitution? Do you think that Trump is doing what he's doing, because he cares for the average citizen? Trump is an oligarch. Someone who seeks power. For the sake of being in power. Our nation tradition of the peaceful transfer of power. Has been envied all over the world. That tradition was broken on January 6th of 2020. Trump's words appeal to hate groups. His words and actions. Incited the rioters. Do you realize that there are some evangelical fundamentalists who believe that Trump is the messiah? What is wrong with these people

  62.  @MrMarco855  there was the private industry working for Nasa that had an important part of the moon missions. I was just shy of 12 year's old during the Apollo 11 landing. Heard from a couple of people who watched the launch of the Saturn 5's. The most powerful rocket built. And what an impressive sight that it was. Being that I was interested in the space program. I would listen to the programs that were on tv. Interviews with the scientists that were involved with making the Apollo missions possible. They explained things so that the layman could understand. There is just so much evidence for the moon landings. We knew at the time what an incredible achievement this was. But you're going to believe the conspiracy theory. Facts be damned. Aren't you? Somehow it's become that willful ignorance is a virtue. It is not.

  67.  @S.Y.S.64738  it's refreshing to hear someone wanting to do an experiment. Rather than just listening to the conspiracy theorists. And taking them at their word. When making observations on how things acted on the moon. Keep in mind. "The Moon is not the Earth". It only takes a high school understanding of physics. To realize. That what we were seeing the astronauts doing. And how things acted. Were exactly what one would expect in an airless low gravity environment.
    2
  68.  @DJgMotion  the astronaut's didn't float. The moon's gravity is 1/6th that of Earth. They had to use that kangaroo bounce to move around on the moon's surface. Are you thinking about astronauts in space. On the ISS. Or in space capsules? When you think of astronauts floating,?

  74. Science does not teach that there was nothing before the big bang. Science says that they can only go back to the singularity. Many hypothesis are presented regarding what caused the beginning of "our" universe. Infinite big bangs. Multiple universes. That something has always existed etc. We may eventually learn the cause of everything. Or it may be we go extinct before that happens. It a safe bet that as long as humanity exists. It will keep trying to figure it out.
    2
  75.  @storytimewithunclekumaran5004  being that I'm not a scientist. I can only answer such questions as a layman. The only one that I feel I can answer with my limited understanding is your first question. "Our universe" did not expand into anything that we might conceive of as being an infinite void. Space and time in our universe came about as a result of the expansion. I think the the concept is difficult for all of us to grasp. A weak analogy. Is that a hypothetical two dimensional being. Could not perceive our three dimensional world. We are limited in our understanding of our universe. Because we only perceive three dimensions. The questions such as Where did matter come from? Etc. Can be better explained by doing research into what scientists speculations are regarding these topics. Many things we don't have an answer for. And when we don't know. Science will answer with we don't know. Nothing wrong with saying. I/we don't know. Saying that is the first step towards knowledge.

  78. ​ @p00piter What did god make the universe from? Do you believe that if there is a god. It is the god that you believe in? Can you demonstrate that your god exists? Arguments are not evidence for a god. If you wish for your claim that. God made the universe. To be taken seriously. You must demonstrate the existence of god.
    2
  79. ​ @edk484 where is your evidence that a god created the universe? Where is your evidence for a god. So you know. Arguments are not evidence.
    2
  80. ​ @LostArchivist it is fallacious logic to assume that there had to be a first cause. That there must have been a creator. In everything we have gained an understanding of. We can explain things occuring because of natural processes. No supernatural explanation required. Could that change. Certainly. But no reason to think that it will.
    2
  81.  @LostArchivist  there is no infallibility in faith and morality. In any teaching. Of any religion for that matter. And you will claim. That your faith is different. And it is the correct one. And all the others are wrong. "Everybody can't be right. But everybody can be wrong".

They aren't very good at the job.

  87.  @LostArchivist  you have a problem with not knowing the answer. It's okay that we don't know all the answers. That's how we learn. We don't learn by saying. "God did it". That stops all questions. And we can't learn without questioning.

  88.  @annalizacahilig9096  what evidence do you have that god is the alpha and Omega. The first and the last?
    2
  89.  @LostArchivist  just because we don't know the answer As to whether there is a reason or not to existence. Does not mean that god exists. How we feel about it is irrelevant. Reality does not conform to our wishes.
    2
  90.  @edk484  so you're looking forward to what exactly? Can't wait to tell people. "Told you so"? And you seem to think that you'll be privy to that conversation between Jesus and a non believer? It is in no way obvious that there is a god. Demonstrate that your god exists. Arguments are not evidence. If god communicates to me his wishes. Then I'll have no choice but to believe. But until then. I'm not taking the word of any person. Who seems to know what god wants. And what he wants from me. Because they don't know. And are being dishonest to themselves and others to claim otherwise.
    2
  91.  @LostArchivist  truth is something that is testable. Not subject to belief. e.g. At sea level water boils at 212°F. 100°C. That can be demonstrated to be true. No belief required.
    2
  92.  @LostArchivist  I'm not assuming anything. As I've said. Arguments are not evidence of anything. Demonstrate the existence of god. Otherwise there is no discussion.
    2
  93.  @edk484  I checked again. And in a comment from a month ago. You quoted John 1. And then you quite clearly said. " Nobody believes in a created god".
    2
  94.  @LostArchivist  I am not going to accept something as being true without evidence. I think that would be foolish.
    2
  95.  @LostArchivist  some of the alternatives are presented in this video. I lack a belief in a god or gods. There is nothing for me to prove. I am not making any claim. The burden of proof lies with the person making a claim. A claim made without evidence. Can be dismissed without evidence.
    2
  96.  @timowens7214  faith is believing in something without evidence. Science presents evidence. Religion does not. I don't have to have faith. That at sea level water boils at 212°F 100°C. For many. To believe something without evidence. Is foolish. What exactly do you mean by nothing?
    2
  97.  @LostArchivist  we make sense of existence by learning. Asking questions. Not by making unsubstantiated claims. If you have an existential crisis by the thought of there being no god. That is a you problem. I'll point out again that reality does not conform to our wishes.
    2
  98.  @ohhplurism6403  demonstrate that your god exists. Arguments are not evidence. A claim made without evidence. Can be dismissed without evidence. It's that simple.
    2
  99.  @LostArchivist  even if there were no alternate explanations for existence. That does not prove god. It simply means that we do not know what the explanation for existence is. So we continue to learn what we can. Greater minds than ours have asked these questions. And yet beyond arguments and philosophy. There is no evidence of a god. If there were. None of us would be having this discussion.
    2
  100.  @ShaneMcinally  there is no proof of an afterlife. So no.
    2
  101.  @LostArchivist  that is quite the word salad that you presented. The unsubstantiated claim that you have the fullness of the Truth. Is nonsense. You do not know that. You believe that. You state that there is no other explanation for existence. There is the assumption that there has to be cause to the universe. You don't know that either.

  102.  @ahonnaga8854  you state that you are an atheist. I am as well. However you state that according to religion. God is all powerful etc etc. That sounds as if you do believe in god.
    2
  103.  @LostArchivist  we have different standards of what constitutes evidence. Demonstrate that a god exists. Evidence for me would be god telling me personally that he exists. That should not be a problem for a god that allegedly has all the omni attributes. I continually hear that god is all powerful, all knowing. Ever present. Can do anything. But when asked for god to do something. There is always the answer. God won't do that because. "Reasons". Can you not see the problem with that?
    2
  104.  @LostArchivist  all that you stated is from belief. Theology is not reality. You simply do not know the answer. Be honest and admit that.
    2
  105.  @LostArchivist  you believe that god is the author of the universe. You do not know that. You're beliefs in no way affects reality.
    2
  106.  @LostArchivist  but there is chaos in the universe. The universe was not made for us. Because you cannot think of other explanations Or to be more precise. Because you cannot accept other explanations. Is a you problem. If there was evidence for a god. Then I would have no other choice but to believe. But there isn't.
    2
  107.  @LostArchivist  the universe/existence may not require a first cause. So far in everything we have gained an understanding of. We see no evidence for a god. It's that simple.
    2
  108.  @LostArchivist  you have given no reason to believe that a mythical deity created the universe. Your arguments are from incredulity. And that is not an argument. Have you demonstrated that a god exists? No you have not. Be honest and admit you don't know. You believe that god exists. And belief is not evidence.
    2
  109.  @LostArchivist  if you're logic is that nothing can exist without a cause. That would apply to a god as well.
    2
  110.  @LostArchivist  You seem to have a narrow view of why there is existence. Be honest and admit that you don't know the answer. And that your views are based on belief alone.
    2
  111.  @LostArchivist  there is no need of a god to explain the universe. So far in everything that we have gained an understanding of. Can be explained by natural processes. Could that change? Of course. But no reason to think that it will.
    2
  112.  @LostArchivist  do you think that because you cannot conceive of other explanations. That what you believe must be true? There are many explanations besides. God did it. You know you have heard other explanations. You just don't accept them. Because they conflict with your beliefs and faith. And it is irrelevant what your beliefs are. Belief is not fact. And you cannot say that god is a fact. Because the existence of a god is not a fact.
    2
  113.  @LostArchivist  if you cannot provide evidence that what you believe is true. Then there is no reason to believe that it must be true.

  114.  @edk484  that the universe had to be created is a logical fallacy. We don't know. And anyone who says they do know is being dishonest.

  115.  @LostArchivist  a claim presented without evidence. Can be dismissed without evidence.
    2
  116.  @LostArchivist  I do not "claim" that there are many explanations that do not require a god. There simply are other explanations. You have undoubtedly heard these explanations. But you choose not to accept them because they conflict with your beliefs. And there are as many beliefs as there are people in this world. I submit to you that your concept of god is different than the person next to you in Church. They have a different concept if god than you. Why? Because the god that you communicate with in prayer. Is really yourself. Your sub conscious mind. Your inner self. That is true of all believer's.

    2
  122.  @LostArchivist  that is not demonstrating god. Proof of god is directly seeing god. Talking to god etc etc. In your theology god has all the Omni attributes. Yes? That god should be able to show Itself. And leave no room for doubt. Please refrain from apologetic nonsense. Trying to explain why a god who can do anything. Doesn't do anything.

  157.  @notnecessary7730  The universe expanded faster than the speed of light. Because it wasn't restricted by The speed of light. That's why we can see 45- 46 billion miles in either direction.

Do you have a better explanation,/ theory on how the universe came to be. Because you don't understand the theory. Is not an argument against it. Saying Nuh uh. Doesn't cut it.

Along with technical manuals. On the Apollo crafts. Saturn V rockets. LEM's etc etc. As well as books on physics. Anyone with a high school knowledge of physics.

  182.  @leroyfaka  arrogant wilful callous ignorance is not a virtue. I take it you haven't experienced the personal loss of anyone close to you because of covid? Well I have. And many others. The debate over how covid got into the population is irrelevant. The fact that it is in the population. And that people die from it is relevant. When Fauci had said at one point. That within two weeks virtually everyone will either know someone who passed away as a result of Covid. Or will know someone who experienced personal loss because of Covid. It was right on the mark. And hit home. When I received the phone call about my youngest brother passing away due to Covid. Followed shortly by a friend of mine. Mother passing away due to Covid. And a month after that another friend of mine mother passed away from Covid. Up until my brother's passing. I was thinking the pandemic was a conspiracy. But I had reality slap me in the face. And I realized that conspiracy or not. The virus was very real. And deadly. That's what needed to be dealt with. All the speculation in the world does not change that reality.

So explain to her your logical. Well thought out theory regarding Covid 19. I had originally thought it was a conspiracy when the pandemic began.

What really has any significance is this. The virus is real. And people can and have died from it. Don't you dare act like those of us who lost someone from covid. Didn't know what the situation was.

  215.  @cristineconnell7803  I'm sorry. But that is paranoid thinking. People died because they were extremely sick from covid. Because they were elderly. Or had compromised immune systems. Were already sick and covid exacerbated the problem. Leading to death. medicine is not an exact science. But it saves more lives than loses lives. You claim that patients died from medical care. That statement reflects a major misunderstanding on your part. People do die "under" medical care. They are receiving medical care because they are sick. At times the medical care is not enough to save the person. They're not dying "because" of medical care. They are dying "under" medical care. The speculation on whether or not covid was weponized. Or if it was purposely released is irrelevant. Unless a whistle blower from China comes out with information to verify that to be a case. We simply cannot know. One person's speculation is as good as another. Considering that plagues do pop up quite often in history. Shows that plagues are natural phenomena. They emerge out of nature.

  216.  @TrevorCrook-c1s  I wouldn't call someone a conspiracy theorist if they have done research. Because conspiracy theorist don't do any real research. They have a conclusion regarding a subject. Then they try to find information to back up their conclusion. It doesn't work that way. And why are you angry? "The truth does not mind being questioned. It is the lie that shrinks away from examination".

  220.  @dizhavoc2378  a woman doctor some years back gave this scenario. There is a hospital room. And in the room. A baby is on an incubator. There is also a freezer with 50 frozen human embryos. 50 potential human lives. The power goes out. You can only supply power to either the incubator. Or the freezer with 50 frozen human embryos. What would you do?

  221.  @scrufflesmcgoogles8910  what it has is the rights of women. The ruling of SCOTUS. Has made women second class citizens. Obviously I'm pro choice. Pro choice does not mean pro death. I replied to another commentor. About the issue if the fetus is a human life. Please check that comment out. And give it thought. I venture to guess that you believe abortion is wrong. based on Christian beliefs. Please read the Bible. and see the many times God allegedly did something that caused the death of innocent babies. And if you think. That the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Know this. The constitution contains. 4,583 words. Not one of them is. God. Bible. Jesus. Or Christianity.

  222.  @dizhavoc2378  you are avoiding the question. You know it is a hypothetical situation. To make one really think about the idea whether or not a fetus is a person.

If there is a reason. It is probably something that we can't even conceive of at this point. We just don't know. To say. God did it is not a satisfactory answer. Demonstrate the existence of a god first. Then that would add credence to that claim.

  237.  @LostArchivist  for you it may be that no other explanation . Except a conscious cause to the universe exists. It comes back to the first cause/prime mover argument. That argument is flawed. It makes the assumption that there was a first cause. And it makes god the exception to that argument. It doesn't work that way. If everything had to have a first cause. God is no exception to the argument.

  238.  @LostArchivist  it most certainly holds. First and foremost. Demonstrate that your god exists. Otherwise there is no argument.

  239.  @LostArchivist  natural things are all we have to work with. Adding a supernatural element to the conversation. Is not an explanation. That is not testable. Nor is it an answer. I've heard all the apologetic nonsense. Of trying to explain the unexplainable. I've heard all the arguments for the existence of a god. They are all subject to logical fallacies.
    1
  240.  @hey_its_travis  yes. But if god did make something so heavy that he couldn't lift it. He would then no longer be all powerful. I think the "God paradox" demonstrates how illogical the concept of a god is.

  241.  @Anashadk  science relies on evidence. Not belief. Scientific method - Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method

  242.  @LostArchivist  the alternative is that there is no evidence of a god or gods. You cannot show evidence that there is a god. "If you can't show it. You don't know it". Once again. Arguments are not evidence. Demonstrate that a god exists. You cannot do this. Addendum. There are many reasons to doubt that there is a god. I'm sure that you've heard people who doubt that there is a god. But you dismiss the doubt. Perhaps because that conflicts with your beliefs? The existence of a god is not a default position. To anyone who is not a believer. I grew up in a Christian family. I was going to become a minister. I had no intention of becoming an atheist. However I came to a point that I realized for many reasons. That I could no longer believe in god. And that it would be dishonest for me to pretend that I believed. You believe that there is a god. Your standard of evidence for such a belief is different than mine. And that's fine. Though I want to point out that. " No amount of belief makes something fact". And that your belief does not require other's to believe.
    1
  243.  @LostArchivist  if you had lived centuries ago. You would have believed that lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions etc. Were caused by supernatural forces. I would have too. But we gained knowledge. These phenomena can be explained through natural processes. No supernatural explanation necessary. Your thinking is binary. You think that if there is no god who created the universe. Then there is no other explanation. That is a logical fallacy. Again arguments are not evidence. Demonstrate that a god exists.
    1
  244.  @LostArchivist  the belief that a conscious agent caused the universe. Is just that. A belief. It is not an explanation. You have to demonstrate that this conscious agent exists. Otherwise your argument has no credibility. Let me ask you this. Do you think you know the answer? I don't make any such claim. I don't know. That is the honest approach to the questions of existence. An argument from incredulity is not an argument. Because we don't understand something. Or find it incredible to believe that there is no mind behind existence. Is totally irrelevant. Surely you've come across something that you believed to be true. And then found out that was incorrect.
    1
  245.  @LostArchivist  you believe that you have the correct understanding of Revelation? And other's don't? You do realize that other's who think different than you. Believe that they have the correct understanding of scripture. Because "reasons". The bible is written by humans. No divine inspiration. All religions are made up by humans. Christianity is not an exception to that rule. In the bible. There is a talking serpent. A burning bush that talks. A talking donkey. A virgin giving birth. And a dead person coming back to life. Well my reality is. Animals don't talk. Burning bushes don't talk. Virgin's don't have babies. And the dead don't come back to life.

  246.  @edk484  you said that you've had these useless discussions before. Same here. Except from the opposite angle. There is no overwhelming evidence that a god exists. Only to you and like minded individual's believe that there is overwhelming evidence for a god. Has this god come to you and revealed himself to you? And exactly what god do you think there is overwhelming evidence for? If there were evidence for the existence of a god. I would then have no choice but to believe. But there is no evidence. I grew up in a Christian family. I was going to become a minister. But I came out of it an atheist. Believe what you want. Your belief does not require that I or anyone else believes what you do. But don't claim that you know that there is a god. Because you don't know. You believe that. And "no amount of belief makes something a fact".
    1
  247.  @LostArchivist  first of all. You don't know how reality is put together. You can't demonstrate that there is a god. If you could prove that there is a god. You will have done what no other has done before. You would win the Nobel prize for such a discovery. If you could demonstrate the existence of a god. You would have done so already. But you use the same tactics that everyone who claims that they could prove a god exists. Theology, philosophy etc etc. None of that proves god. Science cannot prove god. Because scientists can't perform tests on something that exists outside of space and time. Can't put god on an examination table. To dissect and study.. I'm sure you know that science cannot prove or disprove the existence of god. So why are you even approaching the subject from that angle? You cannot show that god exists. The only one you can convince of this is yourself. And are you implying that a god would only reveal himself to the educated? To those who are well versed in science, theology and philosophy? That a god would rely on some of the beings he created to prove his existence? Can you not see the problems with that? God is your own ego. If you think that god is communicating with you. That is you. Your own inner self. It's as simple as that. "Insanity is when you believe your own hallucinations. Religion is when you believe someone else's hallucinations".

  248.  @LostArchivist  I have heard all the arguments for god. And they are found wanting. If there was evidence for god. I would certainly entertain it. However. No one to date has been able to show evidence that a god exists. I don't have a belief. I have lack of a belief. I'm not being opposite because I don't accept your premises or arguments. I just don't accept them. If a god could be proved. I would accept that. I'm not emotionally invested in the matter of whether a god exists or not. Are you? Addendum. I'm not throwing up "vague" demands for evidence. I'm asking quite clearly for evidence.

And it most certainly is the time for debate. When there are six states that ban atheist's from holding office. I will not be silent. If you're okay with that. That would be sad. It is totally unconstitutional. I respect your right of freedom of religion. You in turn need to respect my right not to believe.

  257.  @timowens7214  we don't know how the universe came about. And anyone who claims different is dishonest. Science can only follow the evidence. It brings us to the singularity. It's exciting times. Discoveries from the James Webb telescope may indicate that the universe is even older than we thought. Scientists live for this stuff. Learning new things all the time. Who do you think says that the universe came from nothing? Not atheist's. Not this one personally. What did god make the universe from? That's a rhetorical question. Because you don't know. I don't know.
    1
  258.  @Norbert4ty5828 First of all. I do not have to explain anything. I am an atheist. Not a cosmologist. It has nothing to do with how much I'm educated. More importantly the education of scientists is what's important. I'm guessing you're a science denier. Who is sadly unaware of how science permeates and affects our lives. One doesn't have to believe in science. It just has to show itself to be true. We know quantum mechanics to be true. Being able to communicate as we are now is evidence of that. Modern medicine has it's basis in evolutionary biology. If the theory evolution was not correct. Modern medicine would not work. But it does work. Because of advancements in agriculture. More crops can be grown. Thereby feeding more people etc etc. So often when a theist finds out that someone is an atheist. They will start asking questions. And demand that atheist's have an answer. So if we don't have an answer. So what? Do you think that is proof of a god? So I will answer such questions like this. How did the universe begin? I don't know. I am an atheist. Not a cosmologist. How did the Earth form? I don't know. I am an atheist. Not a geologist. How did life come to be? I don't know. I'm an atheist. Not a biologist. I'm sorry if my atheism makes you feel uncomfortable. That is a you problem if it does bother you. Believe what you will. That is your right. And I will excercize my right to not believe.

  259.  @Anashadk  there are no proven facts in science. What science has are theories. A scientific theory is not a wild guess. It is the best explanation we have for whatever the subject is. Based on the evidence. Science is not static if new information proves a theory to be wrong. Then the theory has to be revised or discarded as the case may be. Science is learning about what is real and testable. About what the evidence shows. And if what it shows doesn't match up with your beliefs. That is a you problem. Addendum: you do realize that not too many theories have been discarded in modern times. That's because it takes a lot to be accepted as a theory.

  261.  @ShaneMcinally  the important thing is. For you to understand that other people. Believe different than you. Have viewpoints different than yours. Some do not believe what you do at all. Do not act condescending towards others who believe differently than you. Or don't believe. You are not in any position to have an attitude like that. Christianity is not exempt from criticism. You and other Christian's are not the gauge by which other's measure their lives. Period.

  262.  @Anashadk  I do not put science on a pedestal. I accept the scientific method. As the best methodology to date. To acquire knowledge and lead to the truth. As evidenced by the fact that we have acquired more knowledge since the reawakening. Than we have in all of human history. They way we're communicating at this moment. The advances in modern medicine. That have come about through the biologist's understanding of evolutionary biology. Have led to longer healthier lives. Advances in agriculture. Allowing for more crops to be grown. So more people can be fed.

We would have believed that supernatural forces were the cause of these phenomena. Because we had no other way to explain these things. Now we do. Because the term firmament is used in the bible. That does not refute reality. The bible is not a scientific book. The bible is not a magic talisman. Because it says something in the bible. Has no bearing on reality.

  312.  @amos5557  Ray Waters lacks an understanding of evolutionary biology. And outright lies about . And misrepresents certain things. misrepresents and misunderstands atheism. Others of his kind. Such as Kent Hovind. Matt Powell etc. Are deceiving, gullible people. They think their answers are so intelligent. And their viewpoint is so unique. When they are the same old used over and over again answers. Which are no answers at all. If you choose to listen to people such as this. People who tell you that the Bible is the word of God.. the bible. That has a talking snake in it. A burning bush that talks. A talking donkey. A virgin who gives birth. A dead guy who comes backs to life. Has unbelievable contradictions in it. Just a quick example. In Matthew 27:5 it is said that Judas hangs himself. In Acts 1:18 it is said that Judas cast himself down on stones. So one would think that if the Bible is the word of God. God would not allow errors in it. Errors that would make any thinking person question it's authenticity. Is it possible that it's because it's not the word of God. The same for any holy book. Of any religion. That possibly out of the 3000 god's there have been in human history. All are made up silly nonsense. And Jehovah is no exception. Made up nonsense. Let me end with this. Virgins don't have babies. The dead don't come back to life. Snakes don't talk.. Donkeys don't talk. Burning bushes don't talk. There is no such thing as magic. If you believe these things to be literally true. That is delusional thinking. That is the theist delusion.

  352. Perhaps it's easier for you to believe. But science does not rely on belief. It relies on facts. So far everything we have gained an understanding of. Is shown to come from natural causes. No supernatural agency involved. In the quest to understand how it all came to be. So far there is no indication that any supernatural being. Had any involvement. A couple of questions for you. If there is a creator. Who created the Creator?. And what did the creator make the universe from? If the line of reasoning is that the universe is so complex. That there had to have been a creator. But a Creator would be the most complex thing in existence. So who created the creator? In our quest for knowledge. If there should be a point where it is shown that a creator was the cause of everything. Then that'll be it. However up until this point. No indication at all of a creator. And ask yourself this. Why would the creator of the universe. Make it so difficult for people to know of him. And all powerful all knowing all present being. Should have no problem with that.

But the reality of the War in Vietnam. The energy crisis. Urban decay. etc. Were problems that needed to be addressed. NASA in the meantime continued with a few more projects. The Apollo Soyuz mission. Skylab. etc. Then decisions had to be made. Regarding what the focus of NASA would be. And in the end. The priority was going to be the space shuttle. You could. And should read up on the subject.

  373.  @jaqua7732  there are a plethora of reasons why we didn't go back to the moon. Why a moon base was not established. etc. You can try to wave off the boring reality that it was the cost that played a major part in not returning to the moon. It is not an argument to claim that costs were irrelevant. And that the military has no limits in what it can do. In life the reality is that there are limitations. I submit to you. That you and those who believe the moon missions were a hoax. Have an emotional vested interest. In wanting it to be a hoax. I would venture to guess that you feel that you have special knowledge and wisdom. That other's do not possess. Any argument that uses emotional reasons to support a position. Is invalid. As in an appeal from emotion is invalid. e.g. Asking someone how they feel about that life may have no meaning. Other than the meaning we give to our lives. Or any subject for that matter. How we feel about reality. Has no bearing on what is real. Or unreal. Reality does not conform to our wishes. All I can advise is. Ask yourself if you believe or disbelieve something. Based on how you feel about it. it's a pretty good rule of thumb. To discard any conclusion . That is based on how you feel about said subject.

  382.  expattaffy1  Sure. Just discount all the evidence. Discount that every point that has been presented to deny the moon landings. Has been thoroughly debunked. I had one conspiracy theorists ask me. If I was there. Nope. Not onboard Apollo 11. But I was there watching on television as the events unfolded. We knew that these were actual events unfolding. The evidence for this was apparent. Everything that led up to that momentous event was evident. As with any historical event. The preponderance of evidence lends to the acceptance that it happened. Not personally being has nothing to do with the validity of the event. Where would that line of reasoning lead? Down a rabbit hole. That's where? The majority of people alive today were not there when The second world war happened. Didn't have to be to attest to the fact that it happened. An abundance of evidence attests to the fact that it happened. The same holds true for any historical event. Now if you choose to listen to those who spout nonsense. And lack knowledge. And use pseudoscience to try and make it look like. That their claim's that the Moon landings were a hoax are legit. Well go right ahead. Believe what you want. Because no matter how much you want to believe that the moon landings were a hoax. It doesn't change the reality that it actually occured.

Science does not want a theory to be true. They look at what the evidence shows. Religion has a bias that there must have been a god. Or god's. As the cause of of existence. Wanting something to be true does not make it true. And not understanding science does not make it wrong

  392.  AileDiablo  your statements are false. And your conclusions are wrong. Newton only believed that there was a God because they had no other explanation for the universe at the time he was alive. Einstein did not believe in God. Islamic scientists. Are constrained by their culture. So that stating a lack of belief in God could cause them trouble. Or death. Any scientist who uses the scientific method. Does not come to the conclusion that there must be a god. The overwhelming evidence does not show any indication that a God or supernatural force created the universe. The overwhelmingly amount of scientist does not think a supernatural being caused creation. You reject information. Because it conflicts with your desire for a god. Again read up on cognitive dissonance. And the dunning- kruger effect.

Yours is a position of arrogance. Claiming that you know that there is a God. And even that your particular concept of God is correct. And there is no evidence at all for God. Especially for the judeo/Christian/Islamic god. Are you familiar with the god paradox? If God is omnipotent. Can he make a boulder so heavy that he cannot lift it? If he's omnipotent. Then yes. He can do that. But if he can't lift the boulder. He's not omnipotent. This and many other such questions. Point out the absurdity of God existing
