Presently there is no evidence for any god. What would it take for theists to stop believing in one?

Theist will always find evidence of God by inventing and reinterpteting unprovable nonsense.

If advanced, intelligent aliens who look nothing like us landed on Earth, what would they say? If we were made in His image, then who would they say made the aliens? A different God? And with billions of planets out there, we are really naive and pompous to think we are the only sentient beings in the universe.

When man can create life from scratch, it will prove that God was not necessary. So, show me !

Jim, I have a much simpler solution. Show me God.

Jim, prove it was your particular god.

It was written that my God created the universe ...

Jim — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 20:23:56 GMT

It was written that my God created the universe. And we now know that it DID have a beginning. It was written that my God caused the waters to gather upon the earth and form seas. And now we know that water exists throughout the cosmos and that earth was bombarded by comets carrying water which contributed to our seas. It was written that my God brought forth life from the earth and caused it to bring about the process of photosynthesis which led to the evolution of grasses and trees. And we now know that archea bacteria formed and evolved into blue green algae 3 billion years ago which led to the modern day grasses and trees that we see today. It was written that my God brought forth the living creatures abundantly from the waters. And we now know that is what happened during the Cambrian period. It was written that my God caused a great diversification of mammals from their previous forms which led to the modern day cattle and beasts that we see today. And we now know that is what took place over the last 60 million years following the dinosaur extinction. It was written that my God formed man from the ground at the very last. And we now know that man was formed in only the most recent geological period and that his dna CAN be traced though the entire evolutionary process, all the way back to the very first organism that was literally CREATED from the earth. All that was written several thousand years before modern day science confirmed it. Now, it's not "proof" of my God. But considering all the evidence, it's compelling enough for me.

There is absolutely NOTHING that you could do or ...

There is absolutely NOTHING that you could do or say that would diminish my faith in any way at all.

You keep wanting evidence that there is a spirit in the sky. Those of us who have faith have seen and witnessed that evidence. Those who have closed minds are blind to any possible proof.

On the other hand, there is absolutely no possible way that any of you can prove there ISN'T a God.

Open your mind to the probability there is no god.

I have. And after much study, I concluded that God most probably exists.

Bonestructure — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 02:39:32 GMT

No thanks. I have seen ample evidence in my life, in the world, that a creator exists. If you haven't, I honestly feel sorry for you. You must live in a very boring black and white world.

I am a theists. I will never stop believing in God ...

I am a theists. I will never stop believing in God. No matter how many people have told me it is nonsense.

God is hope and love. He is amazing. He sent down his only son to die for us all, so we would be able to live in Heaven with Him after we live our vocations and complete our missions in life.

God Bless

"He sent down his only son to die for us all", Yep. A very dumb story.

I guess being a born-again believer in Christ ...

jerryg — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:46:06 GMT

I guess being a born-again believer in Christ would qualify me to be a "theist", so I will give my personal answer to your question. There are 2 things that I will never do: 1. I will never "Stop believing in God". 2. I will never think wrong of anyone who does not believe in God. In my own humble opinion, the fact that you have the personal choice to refuse to accept Him, is all the "evidence" I need to believe in Him. God does not ask for us to prove His existence, He only wants us to trust that He exists.
