All the answers that you have given me above are based on believing in this confidence trick and you can't back up any of it. You make plenty of assertions, such as about your god but provide absolutely no evidence. As Hitchins said, that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. You say 'Many highly educated doctors have said that the healing can only be explained as a miracle' but provide no evidence for this statement. I'd certainly find a different doctor if my one said that to me.
You would be jumping for joy if it were an incurable cancer that just went away over night. As for Hitchins that's just his opinion because he can't disprove God and needed a confidence trick to fool his followers.
No shit. Everybody would. Will never happen. How would one disprove god, especially since you can't prove his existence?

I don't personally know but I would be interested to see a passage in your bible were he does explicitly refer to himself as male. But again it's an assertion you are making without providing any evidence. You don't even try answering the question of why there a being can be something described as male if it's the only one that's ever been in existence. If it's male then it implicitly tells us that there are other gods who are not male., otherwise it's like referring to every part of the spectrum of light as purple.
Here's the stupid question again, you need to get over it. God refers to himself as male. Mt. 5:16, Mt. 5:48, Mt. 6:1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 14, 15, 18, 26, 32. I'll stop here if you can't accept this then we have nothing further to say on the subject. This is what God the son says and the Father also called Jesus the Son encase you do not understand son is a male term.
In the original languages? Please show us how stupid we are.

Again it's just something that you have been told and are repeating without evidence. Yet there is plenty of evidence for evolution and development of complexity since the Big Bang.
God created all that exists, read the Genesis narrative. There is no evidence of the big bang nor evolution, evolution is impossible without new information being added to DNA and there is no mechanism for that to happen, seems the evolutionary scientist love to skip over this bit. The big bang is under question by the scientific world.
You're lying again. You refuse to educate yourself outside of your bubble. You're intentionally ignorant. Of course the big bang, as well as specifics about evolution, are in question. They're THEORIES. How can you question science when you don't even understand the basics?

You mention Adam's body having a soul, but again, have just accepted this and not asked what a soul could possibly be. This is because you do nt have critical thinking skills. No doubt you would say that it's a stupid question, but at the same time be able to answer yet another seemingly stupid question.
You are really full of questions yet you do not ever accept an answer.
You don't give answers. You give dogma. You give bible verses. Why should we accept them? None of these require thinking.

Since you do not believe in God I expect such a statement from you, being so you are not qualified to make such a statement and represent it as truth, it's nothing but an opinion you give to please the other atheist.

She has more qualification than you do. You assert without evidence and call it truth. But it's your claim. Put up or shut up.

When someone deserves to be congratulated as you do I will do so but if one acts childish at some point if it continues I will point that out, too. i think it's awesome when people apply themselves to accomplish much.

When are you going to start?
