[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those "some" human are over 51% of the world's population and 9/10 of Americans that believe in an afterlife. And all acknowledge that there is a Creator far superior to them who they will have to answer to upon death for their actions in life. Doesn't sound egotistical at all to me. Such reverence towards God is actually humility, something atheists seem unable or unwilling to have. Now that is egotistical.[/quote]

What' egotistical is thinking that if you worship an invisible God adequately, you will have eternal life.[/quote]

Nah. Its called humility and submission. Thinking you know enough to deny the existence of things you can not explain is egotistical. [/quote]

thinking  that you should believe things for which there is no evidence is stupidity.

There are lots of things you can't explain -- fairies,  werewolves, the loch ness monster.  Most people don't believe in them -- but then those things don't promise eternal life, or threaten you with severe punishment if you don't believe in them, so it's easier to not believe in them[/quote]

People with faith are hardly stupid. They know something in their heart with such absolute certainty that scientific evidence is not required. Some people call it intuition. Others say this is how God guides people. There are plenty of well educated people who are surgeons, professors, lawyers who are devout in their belief. One would hardly call them stupid. You, as an atheist, need concrete proof because you don't feel anything in your heart. I think even if you saw some evidence, you would deny it initially. There is some evidence but if your mind is set against it, you will not be open to belief.

I think within the next 100 yrs, science will progress rapidly, and our great grandchildren will have more concrete proof of God and an afterlife. They may not understand God completely still, but they may know He exists.

Since the dawn of human life, children have looked to their parents for guidance on mystery of life.  This "faith" you talk about is really faith in the father, faith in your parents, when confronted with a reality that has no explanation.

There is no god.  No one will ever have physical proof.   [/quote]
