There is no evidence for God

A chair doesn't necessarily need a creator- 'random' processes could easily create something comfy to sit on. However if the chair is made of wood, one should ask where the wood has come from. If the chair has nails one should ask where they came from. If there are no ways that the components could have come together without exterior influence, then there probably was a creator.

OK then, If you look into a microscope and you see an atom, would you say it has an intelligent creator created that atom? Or did it just come out of nowhere?

searching for some kind of purpose and creator.

I think those things are taken our of context or only applied during specific times such as war from my understanding. I don't understand why god (if it's all true) would sentence someone to death for conducting homosexual acts but then I'm not god so I cannot answer those questions.

If you walk into a room and you see a ball floating and rotating, would you say it has an intelligent creator who placed it there? Or did it just come out of nowhere?

It was idiot who presented the study as evidence that atheists don't have higher IQs.

And in a subject like average national educational attainment, not much will change in 4 years.
However, if you claim that the current situation is significantly different, please present the evidence.

When did anyone say infinitely?

It’s not a rule book. What we call the laws of nature are simply the physical manifestation of how particles and energy interact in many different ways.

It seems that your argument is basically thus: “all of this complexity must have a creator”. But then by the same token, God, who is the most complex being in existence, must also require a creator.

Well, if you want to find god, you'll probably find him. There are plenty of people out there who will tell you what you want to hear.

If you have decided that you want to be a Muslim, you will obviously find some justification for all the unpleasant bits. As I said, there are plenty of people who will tell you what you want to hear.
You've already adopted the "Allah Knows Best" mantra when faced with inexplicable puzzles, so mashallah!

You said it better than me.

Why does a chair need a creator?

I know,I burst out laughing too.

It is a rule book though if you think about it. Gravity doesn't cause the laws of gravity to manifest, rather the laws of gravity cause gravity to manifest.

If there is ultimately some set of laws that detail how the universe came into existence then the only explanation is that those laws existed before the universe which means they must have been created by a supernatural entity 🙄




I'm not even a Muslim... I'm just learning about it and I'm not just accepting what anyone tells me. I'm contemplating it and doing my research and deciding if it's possible or not.

This is a fallacious and disingenuous version of Paley’s Watchmaker argument.

We know chairs are created because 1) they don’t occur in nature and 2) we can observe them being made.

No one has ever created a universe or observed one being made and so you cannot assume that it has a creator.

Gravity is just the physical manifestation of mass distorting space-time.

What?! You are jumping to ridiculous and unsupported assumptions. Explain why the laws of nature cannot have always existed in some form or other and why a supernatural creator is necessary?

And you still haven’t explained why the universe’s complexity needs a creator but God’s doesn’t.

The limits of the human brain make it hard to be an atheist

Yep that is very true : http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/atheists-agnostic-religion-close-minded-tolerant-catholics-uk-france-spain-study-belgium-catholic-a7819221.html

Im not sure if you read the other counter- arguments but its fine, i shall repeat again!! The article provided was more than 10 years ago and i'm sure you will agree a LOT has changed. From technology to access for education, lots has changed. In addition, i don't claim the current situation is different, im just saying we can not simply assume the case that was in 2003 is the same now. It may be or it may not but we can't just assume.
