My heart? Geez, I was under the impression that a heart was an organ that pumps blood. Great non answer. There is no god. The entire idea of an entity that creates and controls all is merely fiction...The story of superman coming from the planet krypton make more sense.

'We don't know yet' is always a better answer than 'it's MAGIC!!' Plus, which answer are you talking about? Bet science has a better response than your fake god.

If you don't know, any answer is a "good" answer.

When will you trolls stop nitpicking the metaphoric with asinine and irrelevant points when you know what the use of "heart" has meant for millenia. Only losers play that juvenile game.

Always mistating the positions in your favor, MC. The positions are: 1.) there are no gods of any kind because we have created a series of euphemisms for our ignorance as a placeholder for the Source of all that exists and called it scientific . . . versus 2.) there is a Source for all that exists that is undeniably God and only CERTAIN attributes are in dispute. The individual beliefs about attributes must stand on their own . . . but the existence is currently SCIENTIFICALLY undeniable.

Great response, you have managed to add two more to the long list of names you have called me...Congratulations, I hope it makes you feel more important than you already do.

Your so called evidence of the existence of god is not only scientifically unprovable, it's always been in dispute.

Are you denying that you knew the actual use of the term "heart" and claiming the you were not simply being one of those juvenile losers by pointing it out as if you didn't? If you can sincerely tell me that you did not know . . . I will retract the adjectives.

It is the same evidence you use for your euphemisms for our ignorance . . . except you try to pretend it is scientific.

You know as well as I do that many of the religious actually believe that the heart is more than a pump.

Really now? When have I ever said that science has disproved your deity? I have never presented and such evidence, nor do I have any. I'm rowing in the same boat as you, but in the opposite direction. I have the same amount of evidence that you do to prove the opposite...Absolutely none, but I do have reason and common sense, and most of the assertions of believers, including yours defy logic.

He or she is likely mean one's emotional center. In Japanese "heart", the emotional sense, and "heart" the organ are different words. My sister taught me them, but I admit I've forgotten.

You're probably not being that literal, you're probably just mocking, but felt it needed to be stated.

This is your opinion. Opinions are not facts no matter how much you parade them as such.

In your opinion. You really don't know. And in any event even without God there is presumably a basic force, the unification of the four forces (strong and weak nuclear, electromagnetism, and gravity), which created and controls all.

Snideness and personal incredulity are not actually any kind of argument.

A being that explains the nature of basic constants in the Universe and is believed in, in some form, by diverse global cultures is certainly more credible than an extraterrestrial invented by writers who at times flouted established scientific knowledge. I think you know this you just want to be snide and superior like many atheists here or in this new generation of Internet-atheists.

So again your personal snide and smugness says nothing. In its way it's a good argument against atheism, but atheists here make so many good displays of why atheism is a bad way to live it could almost make me forget the many reasonable and fine-living atheists out there.
