There could be a teapot orbitting the sun on the opposite side from Earth. There is nothing rational about arbitrarily believing that it is so.

The God rationale:

I don't know what happened before I existed.
Therefore, giant daddy in the sky.

I don't know what kind of abuse you've suffered at the hands of the religious that has resulted in your hostility toward the notion of a god, but it's thoroughly irrational.

Mankind has thousands of concrete examples of life being recreated by other living organisms. We have exactly zero examples of inorganic matter transforming into organic polymers that would constitute even the most simplistic notion of life. If a proto-organic life form must have existed, there is absolutely no explanation given by modern science. In other words, believing an organic polymer spontaneously generated and methodically developed into Earth's living population is backed by exactly the same amount of science as believing that an alien, deity, or other advanced organic life form initiated the process of life on Earth -- and perhaps throughout the universe. Read: none.

At any rate, your arrogance is absurd. You have reduced the beliefs of the vast majority of the planet, including minds far greater than your own, to "giant daddy in the sky". I don't understand how such small people go through life believing they are so superior to others. Presidents, scientists, philosophers, and scholars have gone through their lives believing in a god, and yet Alawen of P99 knows better.

A rational person would be content to know that he doesn't know, and neither does anyone else. A rational person would be able to admit that a creator could serve as a rational explanation for the origins of the universe. A rational person could acknowledge the historical existence of Jesus. These aren't matters of debate.

Saying something isnt a matter for debate, doesn't make it true.

Will you please let the adults talk? You're functionally illiterate. Your own guild is embarrassed of you.

What can't come up with a logical defense?

It never ceases to amaze me how huge the universe is nor how many of us are researching really incredible things. I tried to follow the comments on that article, but I got lost in the organic chemistry in a hurry.
