Hi all
There have been many demands that I show evidence that God exists.

In a reply, simply tap the quote button. That will put the post you’re replying to in a box (make sure to type your reply OUTside that box).
If you want to quote something from an article or anything else that’s outside content, copy the text you want to quote, tap the quote button, then paste what you copied inside the quote box.
NB: As a new member, you are not allowed to post external content until you’ve accumulated 30 posts and have been a member for 30 days.

The universe is evidence of the universe. Care to try again?

Since there are actual explanations for the existence of the universe, what you’ve got there is an assertion, not evidence.
Suppose someone asks me for evidence that gnomes exist. I point at my car and say, ‘Gnomes built that.’ Would you consider the existence of my car to be evidence of the existence of gnomes?

Sorry, no it doesn’t. You can’t have sin without free will. Nor forgiveness. Scripture is full of it.

You can't have either an all-powerful or an all-knowing god while also having free will. Because if free will exists, god can neither have power over everything nor can it know everything.
Oh and my disproof for the christian god (well all the abrahamic gods) is that it is impossible for a being to be all powerful or all knowing as each attribute necessarily cancels out the other.
