I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?

It explains nothing.

It explains nothing.

Objective morals and duties do not exist.

There are no historical facts concerning Jesus of Nazareth.

Argument from personal ignorance. Just because you don't know doesn't mean to say that science hasn't figured this out and that the only explanation is. Not least that your understanding of cosmology is woeful yet here you are dismissing it out of hand. First who says there was nothing before the Big Bang? There was energy. Secondly planet formation did not happen during the Big Bang. Planetary formation is a well understood process. Try googling it sometime.

Energy is eternal. Free energy, that is energy that can do work, is not eternal.

Yes it can. Plenty of evidence for abiogenesis and workable theories too that are still being developed. But first you need to define what life is and is not before you can make such a claim.

Plants are alive yet they do not feed off living matter. They convert sunlight, minerals, water and carbon dioxide into a living plant.

Yes it can. Learn about non-equilibrium thermodynamics and

Wrong. A complex pattern of energy can only persist through the use of matter.

If God exists in our mind only and is the greatest possible being and object which no greater being and object can be thought of then God by definition is greater than our minds, Therefore God must exist. The ontological argument shows that if God even possibly exists then God actually exists. Which means God is existence itself.

I know you've seen all this a number of times now, but are you interested today? Do you agree that an open-minded person should be willing to look at all the evidence? If so, then are you willing to look at the evidence for God’s existence?

Lets say God appeared to you in his

God is looking for people who will trust him, obey him and most importantly


Define what a god is.
