What scientific discoveries disproved the existence of God? Shouldn't you say, "There have been no scientific discoveries that prove the existence of a God." History and archeology are not folklore. Why are you treating those areas of knowledge as red-headed stepchildren?
This thread is evolving at a crazy pace! I can't even reply... others have done so more or less like I would!
History and Archeology have provided no evidence whatsoever for the existence of any god... They do provide evidence that people have believed in several gods.... Last I heard, the count was just shy of 3000 gods, for the whole of humanity's history.
How does a newborn discern which of those 3k gods is the REAL one?... if any!
Brainwashing? indoctrination? parents teaching what they think they know that was taught to them when they were children by other people who suffered the same teachings, who got the same message from other people...?
What makes you so sure your god is the REAL one?
What makes you so sure there is no God? Did your misguided parents make you suffer from the same teachings?
Look folks, most of what you are accusing Christians of is Atheists do too. This is turning into a school yard fight based on who has the most koodies.
