I and others have spent multiple threads giving you direct refutations of things you've claimed. You just ignore them or change the topic.

I don't change topic I just answer tge question, to my best ability.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Well, the "disprove" part has certainly been proceeding apace.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

How is this guy still here?

So what you are saying is that I should be banned because I am defending my believes.

No. We have theists that defend their beliefs all the time on here, many of them are very well-spoken and bring ethical or philosophical arguments to support their beliefs. While most of us find their conclusions unconvincing, for the vast majority of the time, they argue honestly, address the refutations of their points, and construct reasonable syllogisms. You are dishonest (maybe unintentionally) in your arguments. You flat out assert that nothing will change your mind. You lack even the most basic knowledge of what we bring up, and you lack the most basic knowledge of the evidence you claim supports you. You ignore points that we raise, and when challenged on your blatantly false assertions (remember that time you claimed there were 24000 manuscripts that were contemporary to the life of Jesus and proved the New Testament?), you literally just act like it never happened.

Is it easier to make up lies and write them in a book or is it easier to make the whole universe lie ? Think about it...

Can you explain your thought process.

Well, the Bible also predicted that no one would ever inhabit the city of Tyre again.


No one bothered to inform the people living there today.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

No, but you should be banned if you continue to just baselessly deny everything said to you, and repeatedly assert yet more unjustified nonsense.

We have a thing called rule one here. It's that you need to actually converse, rather than go "nuh uh!" over and over.

I addressed the point about the 24000 thing I am willing to believe I made a mistake.
