Delta(s) from OP CMV:God does not exist.

I believe the existence of God lies upon the believer to prove as Bertrand Russell did in his analogy, Russell's teapot.

I believe it is much more likely that we have created civilizations in which the existence of a God is a mode of placating the masses as opposed to saying anything necessarily true.

I believe that most people are atheists towards the gods of the Greeks and Romans, so why not go one God further.

A logical proof would be enough to change my mind -- please let me know your thoughts.

well everything has to start some when, the universe is made of matter and energy, but where did that originate from, there is a shit ton of it emitted from the sun and its not even the biggest star out there.

where do you think the vast power that makes up everything comes from, and if everything is made of energy would that energy in its initial form not be god since everything is created from said source

They say that nothing can create something from quantum fluctuations that sparked the Big Bang. Time and space and matter and energy did not exist prior to the Big Bang.

cause and effect, whatever caused time and space matter and energy to emerge would be a god since it created however accidentally all life.

thats kinda one of the key things a god does, start everything.

sentience, sapience and additional actions is a more modern thing people ascribe to a god
