I don't know what God was doing all that time! I know what he was not doing, and that was practicing Tongue

Wha?

You've only got one of His universes to examine.
Lots of opportunities in the multiverse for universes even LESS coherent than this one.
The best predictions of future events are stochastic?  Try one where they are chaotic.
Or worse yet, one where He had to keep his thumb on everyone and everything to keep it going.
Oh wait....
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

I'll bump this up since I got no answer so far from theists.

What would a universe that came about entirely naturally look like?

What situation, event, anything would you not consider evidence of God? Where is the bar?

I don't know if this is a bug in the new forum software, but the video of Creationist Cat is not appearing in my browser. I just get a blank space in robvalue's post #25 where the video appeared an hour ago. (Darn, I was wanting to watch it too. I guess I can google it. Smile )

Oops. Now it is back again. I'm really getting confused.

Can you give an example of a failure condition for God? By that, I mean some situation, event, universal setup... anything, that would not be evidence for God in your opinion?

The reason I ask, is no matter what happens, no matter what the outcome of anything, it's heralded as evidence. But if there are no failure conditions, then you can show God exists whether he actually does, or not. Hopefully anyone who cares about truth can see the problem with that.
lmaooo dude I think ur agnostic today. prove that evidence is sound? and perfection is perfection? prove to me you are you ? knowledge was once a dot that grew bigger by ignorance. prove it tho !
