I've been using logical proofs that fit with the Biblical definition of God and of course the universe as we understand it through science. If it works then it works. Atheism wouldn't work because what you lack is a cause for the effect.
Quote:Man creating in his mind that which does not exist has been happening since the beginning of humanity,[quote]
The Bible warns against people doing this of course. Idol worship and so on, carving out imaginary gods from wood and stone.
[quote] and your god is held to the same logic to which everything else imaginary is held.
But God logically accounts for existence as being the causeless cause of everything. As I have demonstrated here. The alternative you're suggesting is that the "universe exists just because it exists" which is like saying "there is no reason at all for anything to exist" but you may as well say "there is no reason for objects to fall to the ground" or "there is no reason for lightning to be created" or "there is no reason why birds can fly in the air". How much science would get done if we all thought like you but didn't apply the double standard as you're applying? "There is a reason for those things but there isn't a reason for all things" is a double standard. There is a reason for those things AND a reason for all things and the reason for all things is God. You can work this out logically without faith.
Quote: If there is no proof for its existence, logically there is no reason to assume that it does.
The proof is all around you everywhere you look, so you don't know you're looking at it.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
