If God is real, why are there atheists?

[muordeeb]

So masterchronic I figure you believe in evolution which is fine because you can't have creationism without evolution. I didn't say God created reality. God live inside this reality which is our entire universe which I call the All. God is an ancient being that figured out how to prolong its existence, just like man is trying to do these days. You say something just can't spring, well that's just what happened 14 billion yrs ago with the big bang. Did the big bang just all of a sudden happen or was there a manipulation? Okay that enough spirituality for me.

Be diligent in your search for knowledge.:rastasmoke:

muordeeb Reviewed by muordeeb on 12-28-2006. If God is real, why are there atheists? The biggest problem with the God hypothesis, so far as I can tell, is accounting for the fact that there is absolutely no concrete evidence for God anywhere. My question is: what kind of God would set things up that way? Why would God create a universe in which it is possible to be an atheist, if he wants us to believe in him? There are a four ways of explaining this that I can think of: (1) There is a God, but he doesn't want anybody to believe in him. (2) There is a God, but he doesn't Rating: 5

whos to say the big bang happened? it is just a theory.
anyway, you go on assuming whatever it is that you would like to.
to me, how things were created has no real relevance to anything at all.

muordeeb never actually explained how or why he believes intelligence is behind our creation of course, he just simply "knows". That's the great thing about faith, you don't have to have a reason for anything, you can just pick an answer and declare it truth because it seems to fit. Heaven forbid the gastly concept of unknown forces other than intelligence being at play. If you refuse to believe anything else, that makes it true.

we only use 7-10% of our white matter. Man right now is a creator. :

we use 100% of our brain. old wives tails say 50% were did you get 10? Same place you got your other beliefs?

[muordeeb]

Out of the 1 billion brain cell that we have, action potentials can only be detected in 7-10% of those 1 billions or so cells. Where did you get 100% from. Do some research.

[harris7]

Well them be some big words, action potential. You state this as if it is common fact, I doubt it is.

I am very familiar with this topic as I am majoring in psychology.
I would ask you to cite your source, so I can read it.

I know that 50%+ of your brain is called association areas which have no specific function. This fact was misinterpreted by the media and thus the myth of humans only using 50% was born. I’ve never heard of this 7-10%. I’ve had teachers explicitly say we use ~100%, as well it doesn’t make much sense. Why would evolution select an organism which creates a large organ and doesn’t use most of it. Hmm fishy

as well you should check your research regarding to white matter. Your brain is only made of grey matter (unmyelinated neurons). your spinal cord on the other hand is made of both white and grey.

[harris7]

Sorry the last comment is wrong. The entire brain does have white matter, but the cortex (the area of cognitive functioning) is exclusively grey matter.

Heres a little wikipedia for you:
"
Although folklore would have it that about 90% of the human brain is dormant, this has proven scientifically unfounded; researchers until the mid 1990s focused on only a small portion of the brain in efforts to understand its computational capacity."

Nice you are in pysch, good luck in you quest, but where I'm from people call me Doc. Man I haven't studied the brain since I graduated, but there are some thing I retained in my long term memory. Just because you have never heard of percentage of brain usage doesn't mean it isn't true. See you do believe in god. Yourself. You're confused , the brain and spinal cord both are made of grey and white matter. The grey matter is the outer cortex which is unmyelinated and under the cortex is the white matter which is all mylelinated nerve tissue. And this is from my long term memory. I have no reason to cite my source, I already know, not believe, know that I'm correct.
If you want to know that's up to you.
