The topic I've chosen to discuss is whether God exists. I am an Atheist. This is mainly because there has not yet been any scientific proof of God's existence and I think this is all mythical. In other words, I do not believe in God for the very same reasons that I do not believe in Santa Claus.
The belief of God began many millions of years ago, when he supposedly created the world. Throughout the centuries, I doubt that the true story of how he came about still remains the same. When God created humans, animals, water and land in just seven days, he didn't supply a pen and paper for people to jot down the method of his marvellous masterpiece. Even if he did, humans would have yet to figure out how to use them. Of course, this would have been an evolutionary process. The only source of evidence that may say God exists would be the bible.
Noah Descending from Ararat (1889 painting by Ivan...
Noah carrying a stack of animals in Noah's Ark.
English: Noah. Mosaic in Basilica di San Marco, Ve...And yet, I question, who exactly wrote that? There are rumours of Jesus's disciples producing this, but there is no proof Jesus existed either. The bible is purely just a regular book. It claims to be the word of God, but how can we be sure? There is nothing in the bible that suggests an authority figure over other books. If I was to write a book about how I'm a supernatural figure and I discovered aliens then I instructed people to prise my greatness in the discovery, would this give me authority to guide how people lead their lives? The answer is no, because it's obvious that this is all a lie...so why can't people make that connection with the bible? To me, it's just another fairy tale.
Some of the stories in the bible are just ludicrous.
Brilliant?
First off, I want to say that I am a Bible-believing Baptist. And what I'm about to say is based on a "scientific" approach to this English written essay.
First off, the world is only between 6,000-8,000 years old, not millions. Science has proven that, though it's not a popular discovery, and not well documented.
Second, why would God have created us at all, if He knew so many problems would have resulted from our existence? You do not address this issue.
Thirdly, if you are truly an atheist, why do you refer to God as though He exists?
Fourth, although you claim the story of Noah to be "ludicrous," you failed to mention the reason that God brought the Flood to the world.
Fifth, you claim that there is no "scientific" proof that there is a God. Yet scientists HAVE deduced that the odds of this world, and everything in it, existing without the aid of some other "help" are about 10 to the 65th power. In layman's terms that's:
1/100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. If you ask me, THAT'S kind of hard to believe.
Sixth, the Bible is the ONLY BOOK EVER WRITTEN, in which science has never been able to explain away.
My point? Before you go around saying the Bible isn't real, and that Jesus is a fairy tale, do your homework, and study the right facts. Make sure you research your work thoroughly and provide evidence to back up your claim.
I rate this essay as average, not because my beliefs contradict yours, but because this essay had no "scientific proof" to discredit God's existence. Well written; few errors, but no proof to back up your claim. This would certainly not hold up in a court of law.
