@petrapark3r is taking the position that God exsists
@ScruffyMutt is taking the position that God does not exist.
Rather than jump between multiple posts for this public debate we will hold the debate in this thread.
We MIGHT respond to short questions or counter points posted by you, our third party audience, however if you post a giant wall of text then it is likely that @petrapark3r and I will just not bother reading it.
Rather than debate all relegions, I propose we contain the debate to the existence of a Christian God.
I'll try and start this debate in the shortest and simplist of ways:
There is no evidence that God exsists, therefore he does not.
Do you accept the debate guidelines, @petrapark3r?

I like it. I have to apologize however, that this debate will in all likelyhood span multiple days, for I am not constantly online.
There is no evidence that God exsists, therefore he does not.
If you had said, that there was no proof (as in mathematical proof) of God I would have agreed. However I assume we might differ on our definiton of evidence. I think there is quite some evidence for the existence of the Christian God. I will list some in a later post, for I don't have very much time rn. For now I would to ask you for your definition of the term "evidence".
-
Evidence: verifiable facts from reliable sources which can withstand scrutiny.
(Such evidence excludes the obvious blogs, opinion articles, and hypothetical postulations.)
PS: I too am only on here intermittently

@ScruffyMutt said in petrapark3r and ScruffyMutt debate God's existance:

I would propose a more differentiated definition. Let's take a criminal investigation for example. You might find the murder weapon, traces of tires, a bit of hair on the crimescene, eye witnesses who put a suspect in a certain place at a certain time, surveilance footage and so on. All of this, as long as the camera does not show the suspect commiting the crime, is commonly called evidence, and I agree with this definition.
Ergo there is stronger evidence and weaker evidence. There might of course also be planted evidence and random (=false) evidence. When we talk about evidence I propose a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being circumstancial and 10 being almost proof. So a 10 might be someone inventing a measuring device for God's actions, which is highly unlikely. So at best I assume we might find evidence at level 9.
(Such evidence excludes the obvious blogs, opinion articles, and hypothetical postulations.)
With this I obviously agree.

@ScruffyMutt said in petrapark3r and ScruffyMutt debate God's existance:
Evidence [...]
So first of all lets start with some philosophical evidence. It is possible to show, that thinking the absolute God necessarily requires us to think Him with existence. Now of course this does not prove anything in the real world. But I would certainly call the fact, that this is how our mind has to think evidence.
Measured by your criteria it is verifiable, and comes from a reliable source (your mind).
But what level to give? It is not circumstancial, but neither is it anything close to definite. Maybe give it a 2? Or maybe not, for it might rather be called a broad hint...
-
@ScruffyMutt said in petrapark3r and ScruffyMutt debate God's existance:
There is no evidence that God exsists, therefore he does not.
But maybe we should start with this conclusion. Because by defition the absolute God is (and must be) spirit, non-matter, non measurable. His acts could appear completely random, from a scientific perspective, so "no evidence" would not qualify as evidence of His non-existence. Also He might simply have created the universe and then stopped doing anything, which would also make it hard to find any evidence, other than the fact that we exist.
Now, as you know I do believe in a God who acts and does so in a meaningful way, so we should find some actual evidence. But I think it is clear, that your conclusion does not withstand logical scrutiny. At best you could say that "no evidence" being found would make His existence rather unlikely.

It's possible that something can both exist, and not exist at the same time. As postulated by Schrödinger - and observed in photons. They may only exist when the person observing it actually believes it exists. As far as some all knowing all loving sky-daddy, it's also easily observable that this probably either does not exist, or is untrue - as there are literally millions of scenarios where divine intervention could have prevented some of the worst instances of suffering, on some of the least deserving of people, including children. So my thoughts are, God might exist, but it definitely is not the God that Christians believe exists.

The observability of quantum states indeed is a curious thing :grin:, and Schroedinger's cat could be dead and alive at the same time unless observed. However it has not been observed that photons don't exist (just like the cat definitely exists), when there is no observer. What has been shown is that a photon seems to be a wave if it is not observed and a particle if it is.
As far as some all knowing all loving sky-daddy, it's also easily observable that this probably either does not exist, or is untrue - as there are literally millions of scenarios where divine intervention could have prevented some of the worst instances of suffering, on some of the least deserving of people, including children. So my thoughts are, God might exist, but it definitely is not the God that Christians believe exists.
This is a very good argument. Here we have a piece of evidence against the existence of the Christian God at not such a low level. @ScruffyMutt What do you think? Level 5?
The bible clearly states that all suffering is the result of all our sins. But wouldn't it be more just if only the sinners suffered? That would be the case, if not suffering would allow us to share in the great sacrifice that will save everyone who wishes to be saved.
Christian theologicians have in the last century called this question the "Theodizee", the question of how it is possible that God lets so many bad things happen to so many good people. And they tend to forget to mention the core of Christian believe – which is what theologicians seem to do these days – Christ himself, the most innocent of all, died at the cross. And why did He die? Out of love to save us from our sins and bring us to Heaven.
But that is not the end of it. St. Paul says "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions." (Colossians 1:24). Somehow it seems to be possible that the apostle too suffers for the salvation of mankind (or rather christianity = those who agree with being saved).
How can this be? How can a human being help save humanity? The answer also lies in St. Paul's letters: "He is also head of the body, the church;" (Colossians 1:18). This means, that the church is Christ's body on earth, which means, that God lives in us if we really live in Him (e.g. if we fulfill the following: love God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself). This means that God also suffers in us and therefore St. Paul can say that he suffers for what is lacking in Christ's suffering.
"The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him." (Romans 8:16-17).

Respectfully, @petrapark3r you post way too much for me to reply with anything less than a book. So instead of replying to all points I will just reply to a few points (and perhaps you may wish to resubmit an ommited item in another reply)
Also, my interface product is the TWS Android app. I cannot read or review a post while replying.
You are quite correct, @petrapark3r , in regards to the Schroeder's Cat example place forward by @Neeko . Schroeder's Cat hypothetical example of quantum state does not declare that something may both exsist and not exsist at the same time. Instead it demonstrates that something may exsist (exsist) in multiple states until it is measured and that the act of measuring would be the force that places the "Schroeder's Cat" into one state of existence or the other. In no scenario of the Schroeder's example do you open the box to find the cat vanished and never existed.
In regards to the proposed debate rule that we accept conclusions based on fact as facts themselves (eg: criminal investigation - a dead body and a gun in the other man's hand. The other man must be guilty) I will accept this as an evidence based conclusion provided that we both can agree on the same conclusion.
This brings us to what I believe is your first arguement. To attempt to paraphrase this from what I recall of you writing:
"Because God is, by His very nature, unpredictable, random, and mysterious in the manner of which He interacts with us (God works in mysterious ways) then one must disprove His existence rather than be burdoned by proving it."I can easily display why the burdon of proof falls on the "He Exsists" side of the debate:
You are stating that because you cannot disprove there is an invisible , non-corporeal, tone-deaf, Trump voting troll sitting on the hood of my car then it must be real.
-The troll reacts randomly by stalling my car.
-The troll is mysterious because he won't speak directly to us and can't be herd by us.I'm sure we can both agree there is no invisible , non-corporeal, tone-deaf, Trump voting troll sitting on the hood of my car by the confession that I made him up as an example. But other than that, by your argument we MUST accept that such a troll exsists because it is impossible to disprove.
For this reason I find that the burdon is to prove rather than disprove. Much as a criminal prosecution must prove that one did infact fire the weapon (witnesses, powder burns, ballistics forensics, etc...) rather than be found guilty until proven innocent.
This logically leads to the reply: what is your first submission as proof that God exsists?
And @WtfJudith , @petrapark3r and I click real good this way. I think we are both intellectuals.

Np. And no need to reply to something you would agree with.
This brings us to what I believe is your first arguement. To attempt to paraphrase this from what I recall of you writing:

But other than that, by your argument we MUST accept that such a troll exsists because it is impossible to disprove.
I do agree, that this whole conversation would be completely senseless, if we had no reason to assume, that there might be a God. As is the case with the troll for whom nobody has any reason at all to assume he's sitting on your car.
However I am not arguing that we MUST accept God's existence based on the lack of proof of his non existence. I'm simply stating, that a lack of evidence would leave us with an undecidable question.
This logically leads to the reply: what is your first submission as proof that God exsists?
My above argument should have made clear, that there can be no such thing as proof of God's existence, there can only be evidence. My first submission was the fact, that we cannot think God without existence. But I assume to you this qualifies as a hint rather than evidence. Hence I will present the second philosophical way to God:
Causality. Everything in nature – everything that science deals with – appears to be causal.
Now don't throw in the seeming randomness of quantum mechanics, because it is indeed an unresolved mystery how the random quantum world allows for a clearly causal macrocosm. And yet it clearly does, so causality is real.
Hence every plant we see, grew because there was a seed, and the seed because there was a plant and so on. And the earth exists because immense ammounts of material created at the time of the birth of the sun collided. So the sun is there, because there were stars who died before it. Everything seems to be causal up until the big bang.
So if everything there is causes whatever follows, then we have a causal chain. And this chain needs a beginning, it needs a first cause. And even if the chain was eternal, if it had no first cause, it would still need a reason to exist in the first place. Why would the chain exist?
Think this through well, because this is not a problem that science has not yet found an answer to. It is a problem that will always be there, that no (mathematically based) theory could ever solve.
This reason is what people would call God (at least the God of the philosophers). This question IMHO is enough reason, to give this discussion a sense, e.g. to allow us to assume that there might indeed be a God (in contrast to the troll).
And @WtfJudith , @petrapark3r and I click real good this way. I think we are both intellectuals.
An interesting observation...

I maybe unclear on this, you may be saying "Why does causality itself exist except for by God?" or "what is the first link in the chain of causality if not God?"
It seems that you are placing an arguement of "We don't know, so the answer must/may be due to God or a god-like entity"
In this scenario ...
For lack of articulating myself properly I will point at my car. Your arguement is "I don't know how it works, therefore God must make it work"The flip side is "I don't know how it works." The end.
With your arguement, when the car dies people must pray to God to get it working again.
With my flip side, when the car dies the only possible recourse to get it moving again is to take it appart, study it, learn how it works, learn how to fix it.
And so i put to you that not only does the apparent existance of a causality chain fail to prove that there is a God, but that the belief in God itself defeats the pursuit of knowledge.
Not understanding "Why/How" does not mean that "Why/How" is due to God. It only means that we do not (yet?) know.
I'll be back online in 40-ish hours.

There is a missunderstanding here. I was not talking about existence itself, I was talking about the existence of God. I think I will simply post the argument from the other topic:
- Everybody can agree on the following definition: God is that above which you can think nothing greater
- Now think God like this, but think that he does not exist
- Woops, you can think of something higher can't you? Because a God who does exist, is definitely greater than one who doesn't
- Ergo: Our mind is not capable of thinking God without also thinking that he exists
If you think God, and think Him without existing, you are not thinking God...
@petrapark3r said in petrapark3r and ScruffyMutt debate God's existance:
Causality. Everything in nature – everything that science deals with – appears to be causal.

Yes, even more than that. Science is based on the idea of causality. Science is the endeavor of finding natural causes for all effects and finding the natural reasons for every phenomenon.
I maybe unclear on this, you may be saying "Why does causality itself exist except for by God?" or "what is the first link in the chain of causality if not God?"
Rather the second, if we assume a finite chain for simplicity.
It seems that you are placing an arguement of "We don't know, so the answer must/may be due to God or a god-like entity"
In this scenario ...
For lack of articulating myself properly I will point at my car. Your arguement is "I don't know how it works, therefore God must make it work"The flip side is "I don't know how it works." The end.

Not understanding "Why/How" does not mean that "Why/How" is due to God. It only means that we do not (yet?) know.
The first link in the chain cannot be normal, like everything else in the chain. It must somehow be its own cause. It cannot be compared to a car, for a car, just like every element in the causal chain can be understood. It is not a "we don't know" it is a "we can never understand". This is the one gap, that science can never fill!
And this fact in itself leaves us with 3 options:
- accept the fact that we will never know because our minds simply are incapable of understanding this conundrum
- assume that the world has no reason, is eternal and can never really be understood
- assume that there is a God, who is eternal and can never really be understood, but have a world that can be understood because now it has a reason / first cause (God)
And this as I said, is enough reason (for me) to make this debate meaningful.
-
@ScruffyMutt the thing to understand with both of those philosophical ways to God is that their nature is special.
In the first case (thinking God means thinking God existing) God's nature which can only be defined by the limit of our thinking puts Him apart from every other thing, including the mythical creature that people always bring up may it be a unicorn or a troll in your case :joy:.
In the second case, it is the fact that nothing else but this one first element in the chain must necessarily be its own cause. And that everything else we observe in nature seems to have a reason while this first reason, the reason for all existence, has no reason other than itself. Thus it cannot validly be compared to anything else, and it is not a simple question of "not knowing why/how (yet)".
I definitely see the second case as evidence of the possibility of God existing. The question is how convincing would you rate it on our scale?

Much of your arguement falls away at this section.
You are saying we can never understand, therefore we shouldn't try to and instead should turn toward God as being the answer.
Yet we once felt the same way about Planets (a word that originally ment "Wandering Stars"), electricity and lightning, and illnesses such as The bubonic plague.Because we "do not" or "can not" understand something does not mean a greater being is responsible. That is an assumption that discourages education and discovery. It is not evidence nor proof of a god.

You are saying we can never understand, therefore we shouldn't try to and instead should turn toward God as being the answer.I am not saying we shouldn't try understanding it. What I am trying to say, is that the moment you understand the problem, you also understand why you cannot understand it, why it does not make sense to reason and never will.
I am not convinced you have understood me. I very much wish you would understand this point, before we continue to further evidence. Could you maybe say in your own words why this problem might be unsolvable?
Yet we once felt the same way about Planets (a word that originally ment "Wandering Stars"), electricity and lightning, and illnesses such as The bubonic plague.
Yes, we did. Most people did. But many of the early greek philosophers already suspected that those things were actually understandable. And we both agree that they are, we agree that all things in nature are understandable by science. With this one exception above and maybe the contents of consciousness and consciousness itself which is also a very curious case, but that would lead us astray too far.
Because we "do not" or "can not" understand something does not mean a greater being is responsible. That is an assumption that discourages education and discovery. It is not evidence nor proof of a god.
As I tried to explain understanding this conundrum means understanding that it cannot be understood and understanding why it cannot be understood. Thinking it through is a form of education and discovery.
It also means understanding that the first cause is special in nature for it must be its own cause, and this property alone already makes it seem godly to us. This fact I call evidence. (No proof. Please stop mentioning the word :sweat_smile:, it seems to trigger me :yum:)
Please convince me you have understood the conundrum. I will still disagree with you saying it is no evidence at all (scale = 0) once I am sure you have understood it, but then I'll be happy to continue to less abstract more historical evidence.
The parts about thinking god and thinking god- i do not understand.
It is not really relevant to the discussion for it does not qualify as evidence even to me. However I'll try to explain in a way that might be a little more clear:
- God is higher than anything we can conceive of (= Definition of God)
- if God was not existing we could conceive of something higher:
- God who exists
- Conclusion: God needs necessarily to be thought as existing
This is true, but it is only true in thought. There is no basis on which you could conclude that something which is true in thought has to be true in the real world, if you don't base your thinking on facts you perceive in the real world.

This page serves as a live feed of activity alerts users to new user actions, conversations and chat invitations. The "Recent" page is the core of community-centrism, providing running participation that allows users to quickly participate in free chat rooms and random charlatan index
This page is just as important for new arrivals as it is for users who have been lounging in TWS meta-mall since December, because it captures the pulse of a community. It does not only pin the last posts but also permits followers to respond at lightning speed, either by replying to someone else or starting a new thread.
In this post, we will address the details of how users are active on the Recent page, what types of content they share mostly and how incorporating free chat rooms or random chats level up their experience. In this series we will explore the keywords chat, free chat, chat rooms, free chatroom and random chats at the heart of each of the dynamics that constitute Talk With Stranger.
The Role of the Recent Page: The Catalyst for Live Commerce
The importance of the Recent page on Talk With Stranger cannot be overstated — it serves as a key place where new and previous content can both be discovered and interacted with. This is one such useful page as it displays all the posts in a chronological way which reflects what is really happening on the platform. Whether it be a follow up to the new conversation you just engaged with or ongoing discussions on the topic, there is always something for users to talk about instantly. There are many posts by strangers who want to chat with strangers and talk to strangers online in private stranger chat.
By simplifying the process of connecting, the "Recent" page aims to promote community involvement. Rather than having to go through many areas of the website to locate ongoing conversations or chat rooms, visitors may visit this page and immediately become involved in the most recent exchanges.
Typical post categories on the "Recent" page consist of:
1. Private notes to get in touch with former conversation partners.
2. Requests to join particular chat rooms for talks or games.
3. Queries on a range of subjects, from technical inquiries to life guidance.

TWS makes sure customers don't miss any action by offering a single, user-friendly page, which makes it easier for them to keep informed about current discussions and community developments.
The Foundation of Interaction on Talk With Strangers: Free Chat Rooms
The free chat rooms on Talk With Stranger, which let users text and converse with individuals all around the world, are the center of the community. Because they give users an adaptable and convenient way to meet new people depending on their common interests or needs for impromptu conversation, these chat rooms are an essential feature.
To accommodate a variety of tastes, free chat rooms are separated into several categories. There is something for everyone on TWS, regardless of whether users like the excitement of random talks or would rather join a themed room focused on technology, music, or lighthearted banter. Some chat rooms' randomness enables members to meet individuals from different backgrounds and step outside of their comfort zones.
Common Categories of Free Chat Rooms
1. General Chat Rooms: These rooms provide an informal setting for discussion on any subject. These rooms are great for casual conversations, whether someone wants to share a strange idea or speak about their day.
2. Themed Chat Rooms: A lot of people want to participate in discussions that are tailored to their interests. Users may interact with others who share their interests in relationships, technology, gaming, movies, and other topics by joining themed chat rooms.
3. Random Chat Rooms: One of the TWS platform's most well-liked features is its random chat rooms function. Users are paired with random people in these rooms to have impromptu talks. Random voice chat rooms provide an element of excitement and unpredictability, whether you're wanting to meet someone new or just want to have a surprise conversation.
Random Conversations: A Special Way to Speak With Strangers
One of Talk With Stranger's key features is its random chat feature, which matches users with random people from all around the world. Users never know who they'll be conversing with next because of this feature, which gives the site a sense of surprise and originality.
The popularity of random conversations has increased for a number of reasons:
1. Spontaneity: Random conversations offer a totally unexpected experience, in contrast to other chat platforms where users may join particular groups based on interests. Users who like making new friends or who just want to kill time by striking up a random discussion will find this appealing.
2. Global Reach: Due to the platform's global user base, casual chats frequently result in discussions with individuals from other nations and cultural backgrounds. Because of its diversity, the user experience is enhanced and learning and cultural exchange are made possible.
3. Anonymity: Because TWS random conversations are primarily anonymous, participants are able to express themselves honestly without worrying about disclosing personal information. Because of their anonymity, users may be more at ease and authentic.
The random chat function improves TWS overall by encouraging special and impromptu relationships that would not occur in more formal conversation environments.
Actual Instances of User Engagement on the Recent Page
There is a wide range of active engagement on the Recent page. Users share a variety of content, such as invites to games or group discussions and personal narratives. The "Recent" page can be used in the following typical ways to facilitate connections:
Seeking Former Chat Partners: A lot of people utilize the "Recent" tab to post in an attempt to get in touch with someone they previously spoke with.
