The same place Dark Matter is found, apparently. 2) 2 Lol, yeah like if you hear something strange and your feeble brain doesn’t kick in automatically to try and reason what that thing might be lol, you just draw a blank? Lol What rubbish. So you hear a strange sound in your house at 3am while you’re asleep and your brain doesn’t consider the possibilities of what that sound is? Lol, no wonder you believe in Dark Matter because that seems to be clouding your brain. You should have Grey Matter in there dude not Dark Matter. 3) 3 Right,…so you have no answer for where humans came from, got it. But you believe in Dark Matter? The Bible’s explanation satisfies me, the same way that Dark Matter explanation satisfies you. I bet you don’t know everything there is to know about Dark Matter, but you still believe in it. Well apply that same thinking to the Bible. 4) 4 I think the Bible migght agree with you, in that there will come a time when people disbelieve the existence of God so much, that he/Jesus then returns. So the key is to get rid of all the Christians o_O 5) 5 Dude, if we found who created life on earth nothing else about that entity would matter. Anyways, the bible doesn’t claim to know all there is about God, that’s why we apply Faith and believe in the Holy Spirit. Do you always assume so much about the Bible? It just cracks me up how people like you try to argue religion with a religious people and expect to make sense, after reading nothing on the subject - your ignorance is rife.

1. You said Dark Matter was rubbish. Now you're saying it's the same as God. So belief in God is rubbish, according to your logic. So you admit to having rubbish beliefs? Great, the first step towards fixing a problem is accepting that you have a problem.
2. My "feeble brain"? LOL.
You're changing your argument likely because you're lacking confidence in it. Sure, I may consider possibilities of what the sound may be. But that is not what you said earlier. You said people must believe in unknowns in order to make investigations. The two are extremely different and it doesn't take much to realize that. You don't have to believe in certain possibilities in order to consider the possibilities. There's no requirement when investigating other than investigating. Again, you don't have to form beliefs in either way to investigate a situation. Such thinking is absurd and you know this.
3. Dark Matter is inferred due to its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe (it wasn't hard for me to look this up). Do I believe in Dark Matter? At the moment, I'm not even entirely sure on what it is so I certainly won't be making any hard claims on its existence. I need to do more research. The same thinking does not apply to the Bible; the Bible makes many assertions about God that are unjustified. It says God is loving, caring, compassionate, etc., yet none of this is justified in any way. Why does the Bible make these inferences? Just because? And what makes them believable?
4. Completely irrelevant to the point. The point is an explanation is not valid just because it's the only explanation. Going back to the strange sound in the basement example; if I were to make an assumption on what the sound my be, the assumption wouldn't be justified or even likely based solely on the fact that I didn't have any other explanations.
5. The Bible claims God is loving, caring, compassionate, moral, holy, etc. Yet it has nothing to back this up. Even if there was some creator that started life, the Bible's assumptions about that creator are unjustified.
6. Going back to the "feeble brain", are you making the claim that I lack the cognitive capacity to reason? Or that I'm inherently unable to 'find' God because I'm biologically handicapped? Do you think that's true? Trust me, I won't get offended and I won't report you. If that's your argument, then let me know and I'd be happy to reply. Seriously, it would really make me happy if you made that argument.
