The ECLIPSE! It's going to be a sign from GAWD!

[Astreja]

I'm going to be in Carbondale. I hope to be around for the next one, in 2024 as well.

I'm going to Carbondale as well, from Sunday afternoon till after the eclipse.  We should do a meetup.

Care to put money on it?

$100 says that there's no sign from any god in this eclipse, other than what hucksters pretend to read into it.

How about it? Prophet against profit?

 I did not say there would be.

Your false god seems extremely inept at working with anything, let alone people.

I suggest, nay urge everyone to make sure to have your colander on and spiritually tuned to Simeis 147  to receive a glorious message from the one true god.

 You wouldn't recognize one any way. Challenge: Go buy the video "Star of Bethlehem," if you want to find out about signs from God, bet you want though your to afraid you might find out God does exist.

If there was a video out there that actually proved a god or gods existed we'd have heard about it from a rational source.

What Gawdzilla said.  The moment anyone on the planet provides actual proof of any of these theistic miracle fables, the game is over. No more preachers needed.  But even if you prove the existence of a bright celestial event, you don't prove Jesus existed.  So we still need proof of God's existence, proof of Yeshua/Issa/Yasu's existence AND he needs to show up, preferably on live TV.  Oh yeah, and he'd have to do something that hasn't been faked - walking across a swimming pool has been done to death.
I much prefer this analysis of Dave Reneke's work, it's logical, it's scientific.   http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badast...ZSj-yiGOUk

Of course God exists, When have I ever suggested otherwise? I unlike you, however, have found the one true God while you wallow like a pig in shit in the words of false idols.

No; you said it could be possible. I said it absolutely will not and I'm staking money on it.

[KevinM1]

I'm always tickled by the religious trying to make natural events we can measure, explain, and predict into something more than what they are.

You know what's really amazing? Technology. Computers. Robots. Medical breakthroughs. SpaceX.

 You have and I did not say it proved God in a way that would satisfy you. My statement was to watch and see what God has done through signs. The odds of it happening at a specific time for a specific reason is astronomical and that is exactly the way God chose to give the sign. Millions around the world have known this, atheist ignore this science because they are afraid.

 I see you're afraid to take the challenge, afraid it might change your thinking, afraid of real science.

"You have"       ROFL!    Rational.  Real science.  Not a theist taking an astronomical occurrence and trying to make it prove a fairy tale.  
"afraid of real science"    Swing and a huge miss on that one.  Reneke's work was real science.  The story concocted to make it fit with the fairy tale is pure fantasy bullshit.  No science there at all - no logic, either.  
The odds of it happening at a specific time for a specific reason is astronomical   ---  Exactly!!  2 points!  It was purely astronomical.  It was completely related to astronomy, and the natural movement of stars and planets.  No gawd required.  Speaking of being afraid of real science and logic, I'd bet $100 that you didn't even bother to read Phil Plait's Discover article.  Because you WANT Reneke's work to mean that your Jeebus Crisps actually existed like the wholly babble says.

I'll take that bet!

$A100,000 says no gods make their presence known.
