  3. Nonsense. This thread is really about you trolling, insulting anyone who's not an atheist, and ranting against God because you live a petty, miserable life.

  8. I think that the universe is proof of the universe. If it were not sufficiently orderly, would it not cease to exist, or at least cause us not to? I share your view about the orderliness and harmony. I just don't see why a god had anything to do with anything. However, if you would be willing to simply identify "god" with the universe and all its phenomena, then we may be in general agreement and are only bickering about semantics:

    pan·the·ism   /ˈpænθiˌɪzəm/ Show Spelled
    [pan-thee-iz-uhm] Show IPA

    –noun
    1. the doctrine that god is the transcendent reality of which the material universe and human beings are only manifestations: it involves a denial of God's personality and expresses a tendency to identify God and nature.
    2. any religious belief or philosophical doctrine that identifies God with the universe.

    I'm sure you didn't miss the recent articles on scientists creating mini "big bangs" in the laboratory for the first time... interesting implication... yes?

  10. Apparently we have another thinker who "knows" god exists because god hasn't behaved as a human would, nor has he exhibited any behavior whatsoever perceptible to humans. Such inferential logic.
