(August 11, 2012 at 12:43 am)Undeceived Wrote: Let's put it this way. You're a father. Your 2-year-old son refuses to change his mind about anything, ever. You plead with him, telling him you are more experienced and know what's best for him. He demands ice cream every day, won't thank you for it, and is quickly becoming the most unhealthy child on the planet. What would you (God) do?

Crappy analogy. I can actually appear to my child and speak with him. Your deity doesn't ever appear and speak.
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?
