Top ten proofs for God's existence...

"You can now learn to Defend the Faith using Logic, Facts,
Science, Mathematics, Physics, and Historical Evidence,
but in simple layman's terms and easy to understand language."

We are so lucky to have this website and DVD. Finally we have 10 proofs of God's existence.

http://toptenproofs.com/article_godsexistence.php

In this website you can find articles and links that offer proofs about not just God's existence but also for other religious themes such as resurrection, Christianity, and young earth.

In his article, Bob Dutko already shows God's existence with only one proof. He argues that since the laws of Physics tells us nothing can be created from nothingness... Yeap, you already guessed where we are going :

"Simply put, when you open your eyes and see matter and experience energy, what you see is impossible according to the known Laws of science if, in fact, there is no God. Therefore,science itself says there must be a God."

So, what Bob says if nothing came out of nothingness, the most scientific way to explain the creation of the universe is to say "God made it". If you don't buy this explanation, don't worry there are 9 more. But you have to pay 15 Dollars and purchase the DVD from this very web site.... :)

Bob continues: "Believe it or not, a 5 year old child could be an atheistic scientist's worst nightmare by merely asking him “where did everything come from if God didn't make it?”

I will be humble and answer "I don't know" to this question (probably this 5-year old kiddo will haunt me in my nightmares). But the creationists (I don't know why) are so sure that if you do not know something it has to be God. I hate when someone tries to show the God's existence with scientific proofs. Damn!

The Scripture Project

An incredible section from "the Reason Project"... Steve Wells, the creator of this idea, interprets three holy books, Quran, the bible and Mormon Book, and tags every verse and sura with a highlight key of absurdity, cruelty and violence, contradiction, plagiarism, and science and history, and such... So you know every single word in these books if they are contradicting with other verses or if they make incorrect scientific predictions. I really like the idea and it is fun to read as well.. I strongly recommend this section of the Reason Project website.

Why We Fight & The Corporation

I usually blog about atheism and religion but Ii am also very interested in anti-globalization movement. These are two really influential documentaries about the American Empire and corporations. You may think "this topic is not new, we already know that corporations control the whole system on the world", but these two documentaries encourage you to go out and do something.

Why we fight (2005) - Eugene Jarecki : http://www.sonyclassics.com/whywefight/

This 2005 documentary does a great job to clarify the reasons why the USA is in Iraq and why "fighting" is a must for the American Empire. Also don't miss the study guide which is a short-book about the historical details of American urge for blood:

The Corporation (2003) - written by Joel Bakan, and directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott : http://www.thecorporation.com/

A truly great documentary about how evil the corporate system is. The most surprising part was that corporate people have no idea about the impact they do on the lives of third world peoples.

The website is also very good. you can watch educational videos about the system. The huge irony is you can download the movie from "iTunes". iTunes???? Come on!

The Reason Project

"The Reason Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation devoted to spreading scientific knowledge and secular values in society. Drawing on the talents of the most prominent and creative thinkers across a wide range of disciplines, The Reason Project seeks to encourage critical thinking and wise public policy through a variety of interrelated projects."

On its advisory board there are very famous names including Dawkins, Dennett, Pinker, Salman Ruhdie, Ibn Warraq, Christopher Hitchens, and even Bill Maher.

To be honest, this website is not much different from "brights.net", but at least there are few new additions to the commentators. You can also volunteer for this project which eventually I may consider to do. They actively seek for volunteers such as researchers, web developers, activists etc.
