So then why waste your time with us morons? You could be doing something so much more useful with your time, like using Science to cure cancer, make blind people see, deaf people hear, dead people live again.... oh, wait.
This is a snide comment with no worth.
There IS evidence, but your reasoining as to its worth is flawed. You as for recordable evidence. Cold hard facts. You're asking for a physical proff of something that is, by definition, non-physical. Can you use my telephone to prove that there is no friction in space (and no, calling someone at the University doesn't count )? Of course not. God is not something physical, so how can you prove that He exists in a lab?
If you think there's evidence, then you're not talking about the same issue Arok and I are talking about, namely faith and reason. If you think there's evidence, then you're not having faith.
All the evidence that you need is the stuff you refuse to listen to, or scoff at. Like when prayers are answered in ways you would never have thought possible.It happens to me a whole lot, actually, and it happens to people I know who pray on a regular basis. I'm not going to bother you with specifics, though, because I think we both know that you don't really care to hear it and won't believe it anyway. Right?
No. But I WILL keep in mind that people of all sorts of religions think their prayers are answered, and some people think their "magick spells" work, and so on. Unless you can demonstrate that God is actually in fact answering prayers, something which nobody's done, coincidentally, I'm not going to accept your "I prayed and it happened!" as evidence of a god, much less YOUR god, of course.
You're wrong. If you live your life carrying around a lab book and need cold hard facts for EVERYHTING, then you're going to have a sad life. Life is about things and forces you can't understand or control. Kind of like God.
How so? I don't believe anything without evidence... and yet, my life isn't sad. Life isn't about "things and forces you can't understand or control", and I don't know where you got the idea. It's about whatever you want it to be about.
Just like Science can't say that we ARE wrong. Just "Chances are you're wrong." The Earth being round was wrong way back when because it couldn't be proven YET. One day (by Christian reckoning, Armageddon) YOU may be proven wrong. *shrugs* It COULD happen, right? Now I'm sounding like a scientist!!!
Science can't say that Undetectable Gremlins of Car Failure responsible for all car failures don't exist.
You don't assume something's true until it's disproven. That makes you sense--you can't prove an existential negative, anyway. You can't disprove those gremlins, or Santa. What IS reasonable is NOT assuming something is true until it's evidenced.
Science can't say that you're wrong because "there is a god" is not a testable hypothesis. It's not a scientific concept. But you can and should apply *reason* to figuring out if it's true.
I am not yet born, console me.
I fear that the human race may with tall walls wall me,
with strong drugs dope me, with wise lies lure me,
on black racks rack me, in blood-baths roll me.
