I believe in intelligent design, so I would be very pleased if someone here suddenly said, 'oh, yes, I see what you mean'. I won't lie about that. I'm not here to convert anyone as such, because I know that atheists are usually very intelligent people who have studied their stuff. I am fascinated that ID (which also has similiarly intelligent folk, even experts in their field as its supporters), is rejected so totally, in the face of some of the 'scientific' findings (which I am discussing here). I am 'testing' these ideas with the 'other side' if you like. Why is it that I see intelligent design in things but you don't? Who knows, maybe I will be the one who sees the light and becomes an atheist. My main purpose is to debate, and not to try to convert anyone. (I have many doubts about my own beliefs regarding the nature of the Designer, hence why I wouldn't readily debate such topics like the Bible or Christianity. I will happily do so if invited by someone). I hope that is acceptable. I'd just like to say that I think it's great that this forum 'tolerates' us 'believers'. I've actually come across more hostility from a Christian forum I go on, because I don't believe in their literal hell.Catherine, you are going all around the houses to avoid giving a direct answer to my question, which is, to repeat, do you want " God " to exist? Everything else you say about debate and learning is fine, but at the end of the day, what do you really want to be true?
regards
Catherine
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
