| TheProphet said: The reason Ricky Gervais is an atheist is because he hasn't really bothered to think about it, or being in the entertainment industry he is selling himself to the atheists who control the entertainment industry. First the intellectual argument. There is plenty of evidence for God in science. One only has to look and think for themselves. The universe has a beginning (how do you know? because the bible says so?). It was created. That agrees with the Bible that was written thousands of years ago. Life is really complicated. The chance of life resulting from random mutations is so low it is ludicrous. The only intelligent explanation is that there is a very intelligence creator (who created the creator? how many tutle shells is he sitting on top of?). The alternative is to believe that everything came from nothing. Since that never happens it is a very poor explanation (how do you know? where did god come from? Turtle shells?. So Ricky Garvais is dead wrong when he thinks that science does not support a belief in God. I know some scientist believe this, but they are a small group of irrational people. Most intelligent people believe in God (This isn't true and is made up, most of the top scientists are atheists). The argument for atheism from science is not credible (the argument for theism from faith is not credible). It is more likely that being in the entertainment business, he is just trying to win favour with the people who call the shots. It is well know that entertainment industry is obsessed with sex and therefore has a conflict with the church. Gervias is most likely just shilling for work when he claims to be an athiest. By pleasing his atheist bosses he is more likely to get the work and fame he so strongly desires. |
I often wonder which religion is silliest. I tend to go with Mormonism or scientology.
