Re: The existence of God
 

GaryL I find nothing confusing about anything Russ has said..However I've found about 50% of what you've said confusing and even contradictory.

I came to the conclusion early in this thread that you are not interested in a debate but would rather try and 'score points' rather than seek or promote any understanding.

Re: The existence of God
 

Maybe you made it confusing to get the reaction you wanted?

Thank you Maggy. and you being a school teacher too.

Re: The existence of God
 

See no substance what so ever.What does my being a school teacher have to do with my thinking you don't really care to debate anything and that you make no sense what ever.

Re: The existence of God
 

Because being a school teacher you should have a good grasp of the English language, and the understanding of it. if you read Russ's statement and my question asked of it, and you can't see the confusion, instead of seeing it as distruption and not wanting to debate.

Debate in itself is just that anyway. questioning facts/fiction and statements.

Re: The existence of God
 

So your lack of understanding and contradiction is due to a poor education?

Re: The existence of God
 

What we're trying to understand is, 'how' can someone 'believe' in something that there is no proof exists, but a probability of 100%, doesn't exist.

We just don't understand how people in this day and age can believe in medieval logic.

Re: The existence of God
 

Yes. I'm handicapped too. do you want to laugh at me about that too? :D

Re: The existence of God
 

Belief doesn't rely on proof or logic - that is why it is called belief :erm:

- arguably there is also no such thing as a probability of 100% - the uncertainty principle could apply, for example ...

Re: The existence of God
 

I'm assuming that by 'we' you're actually referring to yourself. By the way there's a link here that says scientists claim there's a 67% chance of God being real.

Would I be naive in thinking that because it's clear you don't understand why we believe in what we do, you'll stop asking the same types of questions over and over again?

Re: The existence of God
 

Allow me:

A little thing called Faith

Re: The existence of God
 

But with no evidence, the possibility is zero times 2.8 billion believers = 0.

To believe in something doesn't make it a fact.

Re: The existence of God
 

As I said yesterday, and completely foxed Gary L, no-one is saying God existing is a fact.

Re: The existence of God
 

I think they could be related ;) :p:

Re: The existence of God
 

Isn't the above the exact reason that mankind found the need for religion?

Re: The existence of God
 

You're saying you believe over and over again, but not saying WHY, 'faith' or 'because we do' is a tad lame.
