There's a flash of light when you bite down on wintergreen Life Savers ( http://discoverykids.com/activities/light-up-lifesavers/ )

Praise Zeus!

"When sugar crystals are squeezed, pressed, or crushed, they give off electricity called piezo-electricity (piezo means pressure). But the wintergreen in Wint-O-Green Life Savers is a very special substance that absorbs this ultraviolet energy and transforms it into visible light. This process is called fluorescence"

Praise science! Give a Life Saver to a pope
in 1400 and he would have you executed
for claiming anything but god made the
candy spark.

Two gametes join and form a zygote. A flash of light occurs due to a natural, understood process. The same Procrss occurs with many animal forms of life.

When is the soul there?

I still think it is pretty awesome that when life begins there is a flash of light, brilliant!

You did read the post about light
happening when you crunch a Life
Saver. Is that as awesome as the light
you're so impressed with? They're
both just chemical reactions, you
know.

Good question. Wanna bet we find out? God
is the last answer to any question and we have
yet to resort to using it. Never gonna happen.
God is the first answer of the desperate mind.

I'm glad FrG is finally understanding that reason
and logic always prevail over faux evidence when
an atheist explains why they believe there is no god.

Did I miss something?

I have never heard any atheist give a coherent much less a reasoned argument why they believe there is no God. I do however understand that reason and logic always prevail over faux evidence. That is why I believe in God. It is logical and reasonable based on the real evidence of science and human experience.
