That's retarded.
Infinitenow do you always come out with guns blazing?

It was not an argument more of a thought. But if you would like to debate it I will play. I guess yes. I posted the quote: Science is limited to the physical (material) world and therefore has no knowledge, function or authority outside those bounds. Then yes I would argue that when these gods were created they had some type of material fixated with them. As "God" is not material, it would be impossible for us to assign traits/appearences to him. He does not have them. He is "God." Therefore the creators of Zeus, Thor, etc were mearly making a superhuman by attaching a human form to some type of super natural unexplained force at their time (lightining, sun, etc.)

Re: Does God exist?

You assume, a priori, the existence of god. Conclusions grounded in false premises are most often also false.

It would have been more entertaining with somebody who would have played along but o well. I don't assume the existence of God. They are not false premises.

Actually, yes. You did.

Inherent in each of those statements is the beforehand assumption that god exists. You have no proof supporting that contention, so the rest of your arguments are without foundation.

You even went so far as to give definition to this thing which, according to your own words, is without definition.

All I'm doing is pointing out to you how internally inconsistent your approach is.

And like in the other thread I was in and we were talking and I just posted at, your answer was that the "big bang" happened and then time and space evolved. Well how did that happen. Please show evidence. As you mentioned big bang created time and motion and science was created from that.

And you can take that up in the thread about the big bang. This thread's about the existence of God for which there is ZERO supporting evidence.

You have no legs to stand on in this argument. You've simply been reasserting your belief, and not addressing the challenges to it. I know it's scary, but that doesn't mean our challenges are without merit.

Watch the above. Let's start there.

Btw... would you be so kind as to show exactly where I said this? It would appear my memory is failing, as I do not recall making any such claim.

I beg your pardon but I know I am correct. Please move to the big bang forum as I have moved my question there for "no evidence on big bang" "life before science" , "etc" and the rest of my wonderful questions I await proof/evidence/live examples/ etc.
