lordargent: But I do BELIEVE it's possible for god(s) to exist (regardless of how improbable).

That one depends on your definition of "god", I think. The classic omnipotent-omniscient-omnibenevolent leads to internal contradictions. If you change the definition to non-omni, but sufficiently powerful, then you're simply rephrasing your definition of "alien". :)

And I don't know how I feel about intuition. I'm naturally skeptical about most things but I've had far too many, uh, "sudden intense feelings" about something happening for me to just dismiss it.

confirmation bias.

ReverendJasen: Now, since I think I am a piece of god, and I know I exist, therefore I know god exists, thus obviating the rest. :)

I am part of the universe, and I know the universe is likely to exist given the measurable evidence (there's always the chance that we're all in a matrix like shared simulation, but that's ridiculously improbable).

And for me, the existence of the universe doesn't necessitate the existence of a creator.

With no no evidence of a creator (outside of the existence of the universe, which doesn't need a creator), the evidence for the existence of god(s) is ridiculously improbable to me.

// And even then, I would have to ponder, if god(s) created the universe, then what created god(s). And before you know it, you have 'turtles all the way down'.

Labrat407: Missed these:
-Gravity
-Evolution
-Relativity
-Global Warming
-Elvis is still alive
-JFK Assasination

\they are not called theories for shaits and giggles folks

The list was of things without evidence. While nothing in science is 100% proven, all of the above (except maybe Elvis) have evidence supporting them.

For some of them, like Evolution and AGW, there is massive amounts of evidence. For gravity there is massive amounts of evidence that the force exists ... the explanations on how it works get a bit thin.

Great Janitor: I'm so glad that God was put onto that list at #1.

I love the fact that at this point in time, at this day and age, with the scientific knowledge at our fingertips that we can access at any computer connected to the internet, the belief in God is the biggest reason given to deny anything that the apparent word of God says. God said that he created man, so Evolution must be incorrect. The Bible says that God made the universe, sun, moon and Earth in six days, so the hell with science and it's 12 billion year old universe.

Believing anyone about what awaits them in the afterlife makes as much sense as believing a five year old explain about what it was like to live during the age of dinosaurs.

But here's the thing people love to argue and not understand. Yes, we as Christians believe God created the universe and everything in it. The question is not yes He did or no he did not that we argue. It is how He did it. Some argue that He created them all in literal 7 days. Others believe that 7 days was a way we, as humans, can understand His power. There are concepts of how we think God sees our timeline. The one I like to think is that he sees our timeline as if He is viewing it from outside of time and sees it all at once. Every branch and every choice, the past, present and future. This allows Him to see and know everything. Giving that, which can explain His all knowing, all powerful, ever presents, we can also say that if science says evolution is true, why can we not say God himself guided life the way He saw fit.

It actually is more simple seeing that those who believe say for certain but those who don't say other wise. But there is a common ground we both can share and say it is possible that we are both correct then out right say that one is wrong, for lack of "proof" and the other is right cause man says so. To me, both origins have a lack of actual proof and both are taken on faith.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Intuition is very real. It's just non-verbal modelling of likely events. Seriously some studies have managed to create measures that have quantified it.

Crypids in general should not be on the list. There are quite a few new species that were once cryptids/

it's not necessarily mystical. it could be your mind's way of coming to a quick conclusion based on cursory phenomena without going through the trouble of wasting your time processing it in a normal, relaxed fashion. there are probably good reasons why you feel sudden uneasy feelings. though your brain doesn't take the time to explain it to you, there is a reason for the feeling.

slayer199: I don't believe in Aliens but I believe it's statistically likely there's intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.

So... you do believe in aliens?
