Questions for Theists

Image
Here are a few questions for the theists. These basic questions are the initiators for many of the people to change themselves from believing in a supernatural being to become an Atheist. So these are pretty important questions and here we  go, 1. Does God knows everything? Is he gonna know what am gonna do in my life? If so, he certainly knows, if am going to heaven or to hell. Then why the f*ck, he needs to test me by giving a life on earth. He could straight away send me either to hell or heaven. 2. What about the people lived and died here without knowing the existence of God? The tribes living here, never heard of many of the popular Gods. They may be  believing  in  their own Tribal God or may not believing in any. And there are people who lived long before many Gods revealed themselves through Mohammed, Jesus etc. So, does the real God going to punish them for not knowing him? After all, isn't it God's fault for not showing himself to them? 3. Why there are an...

What is Confirmation Bias?

Image
  According to ScienceDaily , " Confirmation bias (or confirmatory bias) is a tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions, leading to statistical errors." It is the tendency of humans to notice and look for information that confirms their assumptions and filter out potentially useful facts and opinions that don't coincide with their preconceived notions. People search for the data to confirm what they believe. They are not ready to accept otherwise. Because deep inside they have their beliefs which was formed in the early stages of their lives. And it requires an incident that has a big impact or a convincing teaching to make them think otherwise. Lets look into the life of Jack. Jack is a guy who believes on Jesus. He was born and brought up in a Christian family. He trusts Jesus is true and he is the son of God. He believes Jesus will help him in his difficulties. And ofcourse he attends church regularly. One day he c...

Why There's Most Likely No God - TestTube Plus

TestTube Plus Transcript:  Everyone, thanks for tuning into test tube plus today. I am Trace, this is episode two of five on our series about God. We take a big topic here on TestTube Plus and we break it into a bunch of different chunks so we can all understand it better myself included. Yesterday we talked about how God might be a real thing even under science and how science and God might go hand in hand. But today we're gonna flip that and we're going to talk a little bit about how science and God might not go hand in hand and scientists that don't think that science and God can coexist as easily as we think so.  If you're talking about scientists one of the first scientist you're ever gonna think if you talk to a layman about science is going to be Albert Einstein. Everybody knows Albert Einstein's name, everybody in the world would seem like and Albert Einstein is often thought of as a religious man because he uses the word God a lot in his writings. A...

Why Hindu Gods do not like Cell Phones?

Image
What you heard is right. Hindu Gods do not like mobile phones. They are against cameras as well. These Gods are so pure that even the slightest impurity results in their displeasure. The cams and phones are impure just like a lady on her periods. Why are Gods excessively sexist? They have made everything in the universe and they feel certain things as tainted. The impurity list also incorporates other religious people. Every God says they made the entire universe and at the same time says some of its creation make him spew.  There are restrictions for some animals too. Cows are extremely sacred that cow slaughtering is a major crime in India now. While fish, pig, rodent and some other animals who are also the companion of numerous other Hindu Gods, doesn't come to the level of cows.  Some say cell phones will become a hindrance for the devotees and affects the sanctity of the temple, yet how the fireworks got their place in temples. Doesn't it influence the holiness? The reaso...

How religions are formed?

Image
Long back, millions of years ago, when man lived like animals, the earth was a beautiful place. The population was not separated by race, society, religion or nation. The things people worried was natural catastrophes. The thing that matter was how to save themselves.  Every time when a tremor or thunderstorm happens, man was terrified to death. He knows he cannot fight it himself or by his fellow people. Sentiments of vulnerability and sadness sent him to profound agony. Nothing could really comfort him. At the point when lightning strikes, earthquake happens, or when a solar eclipse occurs, he believed those were a result of some furious giant powerful beings up in the sky punishing them for their mistakes. They were in the quest for fulfilling the upset Supernaturals. He tried killing animals as sacrifice. He fulfilled them by lighting flame. By coincidence, those disasters gone while doing certain ceremonies. That made the early people proceed with those ceremonies for fulfilli...

Remarkable Quotes of Stephen Hawking

Image
Prof Stephen Hawking, one of the world's distinguished scientist, theoretical physicist, cosmologist. He is known for his genius, his disability as well as his distinctive voice. When the 73-year-old says something, it probably pays to listen. Here're some of his incredible quotes in no particular order, "Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible" -   From the lecture, "My Brief History" "There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, [and] science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win, because it works" -  To Diane Sawyer, ABC News "The life we have on earth must have spontaneously generated itself, it must therefore be possible for life to generate spontaneously elsewhere in the universe" -  From "Alien Planet",  on the Discover Channel "Next time someone complains that you have made a mistake,...

Why My Religion is True?

Image
There are thousands of religions in this world. And, not a single individual who believes in more than one at a time. Maybe they are accepting other religions and their God. But, deep inside there will be their own particular religion and no spot for other Gods. They trust their religion is the true one. I consider my religion as genuine because it is the religion am being heard about from the time I'm conceived. That is the religion my parents have faith in. I heard the stories from the Holy Book. Those stories seem to be so true to me just like the way I trusted Santa in my childhood. When I grew up friends and my family made me understand that Santa is a fictional character and isn't real. Yet, nobody said my God is fictitious. Furthermore, people continue  to believe God even when they are old. You may find there is no logic in saying this. There is no logic or reasoning when it comes to faith. My Holy Book says certain things and I will trust those. Holy Book says my relig...

Why did God create the Universe?

Image
God made this world in seven days umm.. did actually a God made this world? If so, why on "Andromeda" he made this? Why would God make something pointless when he is so intense and can have anything he needs? Long before, that is, thousands of years ago for Ken Ham, for others consider it as billions, God was a desolate creƤture wandering in space. Hold up a min, there was no space by the way. Don't know when he made space and time. I think the main thing existed was nothing. There was "nothing" and obviously darkness. He was a Dark Lord. What might he be doing there? Nobody to talk and nobody to play 'street dice' (According to Hawking he in some cases play dice). It was extreme boredom. He started to think many things. About the purpose of his life and where he originated from. Ya, God is a free-thinker. Thank God, there was no religious fanatic to indoctrinate him. He gets extremely sad when he understand there is nobody to watch his magic and praise...
