Actually, it would be more correct to say that, as an atheist, my CONCLUSIONS are based upon a lack of evidence provided by people like you.
Quote:It does not refer to evidence that only has been personally observed by every individual nor is it only of a visible nature.. So, any atheist who denies the possible existence of God violates his own worldview.
The evidence I accept is observable, repeatable and peer reviewed. You have anything like that to demonstrate that your deity is real?
Quote:You simply deny history, you exclude a man known as Jesus of Nazereth..
There is zero evidence for the existence of a man named Jesus who was executed by the Romans and returned from the dead. You might as well say that I deny history because I exclude Pecos Bill and Paul Bunyan.
Quote:"Creation is made of particles, indiscernible to our eyes (Hebrews 11:3).
I pulled out my handy dandy Babble and this is not what it has for Hebrews 11:3. Here is what it actually says: "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible."
Hmmm... no mention of "particles" here.
Quote:Not until the 19th century was it discovered that all visible matter consists of invisible elements.
Yes, I'm sure the ignorant goat herders who wrote the Babble were talking about invisible particles that make up all matter.
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
We've had people come in here trying to claim that the Babble contains information that people of the time couldn't possibly have known about. They pull out some verse and try to claim it's telling us about how the circulatory system works, or other such nonsense.
If these people had advanced scientific knowledge, why didn't they tell us how to cure diseases? Why didn't they warn us of microbes that could make us ill? I'll tell you why.... because they had no idea!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
