"Atheism is dead"

"Evangelist Ray Comfort Boldly Declares 'Atheism Is Dead' "
"Within two days of its release, thousands have purchased an early viewing of a one-hour movie that its producers claim destroys atheism with one scientific question. The film, The Atheist Delusion, will be released on YouTube in two months."

I'm curious to know what this "scientific question" is, but I don't want to contribute money to evangelist hucksters by buying the video. Does anyone know what this amazing question is?

The blurb on the page I quoted gloats that Hitchens is dead and Dawkins has suffered a stroke, which is about par for the spiteful people who promote these religions based on love.

Ray Comfort , who originated in my old home town, Christchurch, New Zealand, is also quoted as saying that "People have more sense of reason than atheists give them credit for."

It is not a scientific

It is not a scientific argument it is just a different version of the old clock maker arguement.

Would you buy a bar of chocolate from a fundraiser for the Ku Klux Klan? Same principal applies here.

And that's the same principal behind us not supporting religion.

I prefer the Klan. They wear funny hats so you can see who they are. Evangelists are disguised as decent human beings.

Oh, and I think it's "how did a nonexistent universe instantly come into existence, defying the laws of thermophysics or thermodynamics i forget which one "

That's an old one. The answer is turtles. All the way down.

Theologians have had 3000

Theologians have had 3000 years (in pagan and Christian modes) to think about god proofs. Every imaginable proof has been devised, but they all fail in the end. So, we're supposed to believe that a totally new proof has hotly arrived that destroys atheism? Ask yourself what the odds are of that being just another load of B.S. or a startling new proof unforeseen all these years. Based on real history, that should be an easy question to answer. Bring it on!

I'm waiting for it to release on YouTube. When it comes out I'm gonna put some popcorn in the microwave and laugh my ass off.

I bet they'll try to charge

I bet they'll try to charge for it even on YouTube. Evangelican Christianity is all about money.

Hhmmm.....

Hhmmm.....

"destroys atheism with one scientific question."...... ??

Ray Comfort.......??

This is the guy who screwed up big time with his claims about banana's......

"...... he argued that the banana was an "atheists' nightmare", arguing that it displayed many user-friendly features that were evidence of intelligent design. Comfort retracted the video upon learning that the banana is a result of artificial selection by humans, and that the wild banana is small and unpalatable."

...I seriously doubt this person could recognise a "scientific question" if it bit him in the arse.....

That's priceless. I'd like to

That's priceless. I'd like to see him explain a coconut. It's wrapped in a thick, tough, fibrous layer. Once you get that off you have a ball made of hard wood. If you smash that you lose all the juice. And if you're under the tree when a nut falls off, it will kill you. I guess god forgot to design the tree to grow machetes, hard hats and power tools alongside the nuts.

So, Ray Comfort uses a

So, Ray Comfort uses a scientific question (an appeal to science) to advance his supernatural being, a being whose description is totally contrary to science in that it violates just about every fundamental law of nature! I say, looks like we will be in for a good laugh.

Evangelists are always making

Evangelists are always making hyperbolic statements like that. No, there is no such question that either defies science or proves the existence of God. However, on Real Time with Bill Maher recently, Richard Dawkins spoke of a new fossil discovery which fills in yet another missing link in the chain of evolution. Now that's something I'd like to go out of my way to read about.

Those ass wipes are worse

Those ass wipes are worse than car salesmen. He doesn't have shit for answers. If god was real there would be proof, and since it's inception back when people thought the earth was flat, and floods were punishment Christianity has failed miserably to provide a shred of empirical evidence to contrary. Israel has been spending billions digging up the fucking Negev for decades and hasn't found shit but empty pockets
