God Is Dead And Why

[locusts]

Why would you say GOD IS DEAD or he's left us or he doesn't exist
IS it because you have not seen him or heard from him or he has not shown you
any miracles ???? OR Do You Believe Only What You Can See ??????
Is there a way of arriving at a satisfying answer to the question? ?????
By a satisfying POWERFUL answer --- one that appeals to you ????

[Theland]

Ha!
You are mistaken.
I have no problem with my beliefs.
Not always an easy ride, but an easy ride is not promised.
Jesus said Christians would be persecuted for their beliefs, and sadly many have laid with their lives, and still do.
If all I get is a ribbing on Answer bank, then I am gettingmoff lightly indeed.
No, I don't have a problem.

A veritable martyr.

This is an age old question to which there is no answer.Nobody has come up with any proof that God exists and, as you cannot prove a negative,nobody has come up with any proof that he does not exist.

[Theland]

Danny, that is a quick, ''throwaway,'' post, and a belief!in God can be made based on evidence and a lack of evidence for any alternative.

[archibaldy]

That's the thing Danny - believers have many "proofs" that God exists. It's the reason science and God will never mix.

[Neveracrossword]

Theland, 'a belief in God can be made based on the evidence' … I take it this refers to the 'evidence' that you've never yet been able to provide? NB Telling us how many scientists agree with you doesn't count.

[dannyk13]

Theland, evidence = proof and there has never been any that is conclusive.

[Canary42]

Man invented the internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine exists.

Man invented God. God exists.

Simple!

[Theland]

Danny, we may never see the hand of God, but certainly His fingerprints.
God is spirit.
Our created universe is a powerful proof of God.
Science cannot explain it away.
Life from non life is a powerful proof of God.
Science cannot explain it away.
Diversity of life and the genetic code is a powerful!proof of God.
Science cannot explain it away.
If you seek God you will find Him.
If you seek only to satisfy human curiosity, you will never find Him.

[dannyk13]

Because you can't explain something does not mean that it exists.

[naomi24]

He doesn't listen, danny. He completely ignores anything that anyone else believes - along with all the other Gods and creation myths - and all reasoned thought. He's in his own little bubble and there he shall remain.

[Theland]

You can't even observe the wave function of sub atomic entities, without the wave function collapsing into a particle, yet we know the wave function exists.
What evidence of God would you accept?
None of the above seem to swing it for you?

[naomi24]

//What evidence of God would you accept? //

Which God do you want us to accept - and how can you convince us you have the right one?

[Theland]

Ive listened to everything you have said Naomi, and responded to it.
Unlike me, you play!to an audience and must display your apparent if ethereal knowledge of spiritual matters, when in fact your knowledge is limited to earthly man made religions and earthly man made cultures, ceremonies, beliefs and scripts no matter how old.
You have no more insight than the person next to you, or the author of an eastern religious manuscript written thousands of years ago.
When it comes to enlightenment, you are still wandering about in the dark.
Sadly, you take others with you.

[dannyk13]

Theland ////What evidence of God would you accept? //
Substantial proof that was irrefutable.

[Canary42]

I get the impression Theland doesn't rate you very highly Naomi ;-)

[Theland]

Personally, Imam not taking it upon myself to convince you of anything.
You are not interested beyond the limits of human curiosity, and impressing others.
If and when you seek earnestly, you will find.
Until then you are limited to your bookshelf and answer bank.

[Theland]

Canary - I don't have to.
She does that herself.

[Theland]

Danny - The following are irrefutable.

The universe.
Life from non life.
Speciation and the genetic code.

[naomi24]

Theland, //Ive listened to everything you have said Naomi, and responded to it.//

No you haven’t. You’ve not even answered the question I asked a few minutes ago. Still no end to personal attacks from you though.
