No matter how many times you say it, there are still people out there with other idiotic ideas about there being verifiable evidence.
So thanks a lot guys, your support it very much appreciated!
Well, frodo, I think we all know this already.
Belief in a god is based on just that, a belief. Faith, if you will.
However, even that as a position begins to unravel in certain perspectives because, even if we deny that there is any evidence for a deity, at least verifiable evidence (the only form that matters to the question at hand), then we have to contradict accounts in numerous holy literature that claims directly that its deity had a physical (and thus verifiable) impact on the temporal realm.
A burning bush, sending your son (yourself?) down to earth, turning water into wine, people who live for hundreds of years and so on.
Physical results from physical impacts. These should be measurable, unless we start claiming special pleading. But them the argument falls due to its fallacious underpinnings.
