  • Isaac Newton's definition of Atheism

    “The ultimate cause of atheism, is this notion of bodies having, as it were, a complete, absolute and independent reality in themselves.’”

    It's not a definition of Atheism but why people are atheists

      Well you need to have a very strong understanding of science,life, spirituality(not religion) or philosophy to really know. Because if you go deep enough in any field, you'll learn that nothing in life is what it seems and the only thing we know for sure is that we know nothing at all.

      Atheists act like they have it all figured out, that the world only spins by their sets of rules but their rules and boundaries only exist in their own minds, ignoring all the evidence of what really is out there. In reality there are no rules, and there are no boundaries.

      Did you know that all the stars, planets, gasses; all the matter in the universe, of which we're so small that the sun in comparison would be less than a speck, is only 4% of the known universe?

      23% of the universe's composition is dark matter, existing in states so extreme we can barely even comprehend or classify it's nature

      73% is dark energy which is even more mysterious.

      In science, everytime you break through an ocean, you discover another ocean that's even more massive. Each ocean challenges the previous one's entire perception of reality.

          A lecture in Astronomy? maybe because Newton was an Astrologer. I don't know.

              I have read Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" and there was an interesting story of Newton as accounted by Hawking at the end of the book and Newton was painted by Hawking as sort of a "****" who was good only at making other people's life miserable.

              I don't know Newton's religious conviction but as you said, it should be interesting.

                No, that is simply not true. Atheists are people who have an opinion based on one single belief on one single stance, that's it. They simply believe that there are no gods or a god because there is no evidence of it and that part is true.

                They also don't believe in spirituality because that is a very vague term and there's also no evidence of any sort of "spirituality" in the world.

                The argument between people of faith and atheists is ridiculous. If you are religious, then you have to have faith in something not seen and where there's no evidence of it.

                If you are an Atheist, then you only believe in the scientific and rational world. not stating that there without a doubt there can't be any god's, there just hasn't been evidence of it.
