That is why self-honesty is critical to true knowledge and ridding oneself of ignorance. We will not arrive at truth by conjecture, and testifying to something by words is not the same as what the heart is convinced with which requires proofs and evidence but that requires honest reflection and reasoning with strength and fuel of right balanced just love.
You seem nice MK, but honest reflection and reasoning are not evidence for god.
You can reason anything.
Here is an argument for the non-existence of time.

Quote:Barbour's Nows can be imagined as pages of a novel ripped from the book's spine and tossed randomly onto the floor. Each page is a separate entity existing without time, existing outside of time. Arranging the pages in some special order and moving through them in a step-by-step fashion makes a story unfold. Still, no matter how we arrange the sheets, each page is complete and independent. As Barbour says, "The cat that jumps is not the same cat that lands." The physics of reality for Barbour is the physics of these Nows taken together as a whole. There is no past moment that flows into a future moment. Instead all the different possible configurations of the universe, every possible location of every atom throughout all of creation, exist simultaneously. Barbour's Nows all exist at once in a vast Platonic realm that stands completely and absolutely without time.
Reasoning is nothing without evidence.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
