I doubt you are up to the challenge.

Evidence can be provided though it is somewhat subjective.

That has to be the most laughable statement I've ever heard.

You're not going to "prove God with science" if that's what you're after. Neither does science disprove God either, if anything science demonstrates the contingency of the universe.

I don't think science proves or disproves the existence of gods. I think science quite sensibly doesn't concern itself with such things.

It is not unreasonable to think think that things not proven to exist do not exist.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

How did I "presuppose" this as a young child? Gods were simply absent from my upbringing- my parents didn't discuss them. Once I learned about them, they felt about as compelling to believe in as the dragons in Arthurian legends.

It really irritates me when theists try to tell me what I think.

I knew you were thinking that.
The holy spirit told me so.

You can "prove it" within yourself you can't "prove it with science" you're presupposing that God is something that God can be demonstrated that way but that is a mistaken assumption. You can only demonstrate the existence of physical objects and energy through that method and God is neither.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
