The existence of God - Page 36

The thing is, there's no evidence that any of it is real, and the fact there's no evidence by default, null and voids the existence of god and god says, 'I never thought of that' and disappears in a puff of logic.

So yes a talking snake would be suprising, but after what they would have been discovering every day, would not seem as ridiculous as it may today.

Hello Lucy's other half

But we've never saw another one that talks since. only a parrot which is itself pretty amazing

I have never said I have any doubts as to whether God is real or not. 110% certainty, 0% doubt.

And concrete proof of his non existence wouldn't alter your belief?

Yep ok, I'm sure that notion brings you much happiness and I wish you well with it.

Actually, Adams suggested that it was an unfeasibly useful creature called the Babel fish that was proof of God, rendering faith unnecessary and causing God to disappear in a puff of logic.

But don't forget, the man who 'won' that argument with God promptly got himself run over on a zebra crossing.

I've never considered there'd ever be such evidence. You produce it and we'll talk about it then.

Pehaps because the bible is truth for those that believe/have faith in its words and teachings.

For the love of Darwin, even I get this...

'I think therefore I am' is the only 100% fact. Everything else requires some degree of belief.

If you keep proving your intentions are only to mock then very few of us will bother taking you seriously. No-one says you have to believe but at the very least you could show some respect to those who are being respectful to you.

Many thanks DRZ.........
So right, there is no need for any further posts!

Was that mocking or injecting humour on a thread that is now going no where.

I repeat, believe, or do not believe, the choice is your own to make.

Do not knock believers, do not knock unbelievers.

I'm sorry, I have a very dim view of religion as my ex girlfriend at the age of eight was repeatedly raped by a Catholic priest who was then whisked off to Ireland by the church to avoid prosecution.

I even know his name and where he is!

That is a common misconception.

Sound can travel through space, because space is not the total vacuum it's often made out to be.

A black hole makes a sound like a B-flat.

So you judge the beliefs of 2.1 billion people on the actions of one man? Do you despise all Germans because of Hitler?

If the above is true then his faith had nothing to do with his actions.

I very much doubt that's the real reason.
