The Best Evidence For God and Against God

Also, why should I care if God exists? I have a separate thread about that subject.

I accidentally posted it in this area, this should be in the religious area. Unless you could help me move it.

B is also wrong because you're presenting a false dichotomy. Removing one explanation is not license to make up anything you want in its place.

Could you first please explain why it has nothing to do with our reality?

Some Christians say god created life through abiogenisis and evolution. Francis Collins , for instance.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Sadly I'm not staff any more, but one of them can easily move it for you. I'll send them a request.

I said god could exist yet have nothing to do with our reality. This could have come about as a manifestation of some process in another reality, without anyone realising it.

But as I said, it depends what you mean by God.

Possibly and defining God depends on what is the true religion? An examination of the different religions would do.

Joker! If you do not define god then how does your claim that evolution disproves god add up?

Because evolution is independent from a "god" as it explain things naturally without the intervention of the supernatural.

Evolution is not independent from a god who creates life through evolution. As in the god of Francis Collins.

Joker: You are the one making claims regarding "God". It's up to you to define it.

I'll define it, if you want, but I don't see much point. Please stop saying "true"; the whole point here is to establish what is true. If you have to assume something is true before you even start the discussion, then you're assuming your conclusion. If you're going to do that, this is entirely pointless.

My definition of a god:

If a reality was created by an intelligence, that intelligence is god, relative to that reality.

Defining God depends on which religion is the true religion of God, because different religions defines God differently. You will have to examine the different religions.


But only if there is a true religion of the gods.
