DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

[CDF47]

- If there are churches with these images, then they are the ones making the choice to have those images.  I can't think of any requirement that would demand they do so.

Have you ever seen a Christian church without a cross?

- I wouldn't call it "external", but rather quite the opposite.  If God dwells within us, then I think it's fair to say that God will likely communicate to us from within.  If I inject bias and call it being schizo, then I am creating a problem.  I believe if something is questionable, you bounce it off scripture and see if one reflects the other.  God will confirm God.

Don't you think you're injecting bias when starting with god?
If you start with god, how can you end with anything different?
"God will confirm God" is circular and not a valid way to reason out if it is indeed God.
What if there was no scripture? What if you were living in a place and time where you had no access to scripture?

I'll give you the fact that God is within you... within me. The concept of god, that is.
No God has ever shown the ability to communicate with me. And I'm sure there are many many like me. And I doubt that it's just because of a lack of belief. Why would a god hide from someone who simply doesn't believe? What is the power of belief to a god?
But... what is the power of belief to your psyche?... ah... it is a very great power. One that cannot be discounted, ever.

God is not hiding from us.  He is not as involved with us as He was prior to the fall when He had a direct relationship with man.
