But say God wanted to make this life a test for human beings, do you honestly expect Him to come down on earth and say 'Look people, Im here!'?
Quote:The evidence IS here, but you are refusing to consider it, evidence does not necessarily mean something you can hear, touch or see, you people must realise that, for example you know have a great-great-great-great grandmother for example, even though you cannot see, hear or touch her because you use your logicWe don't just use our logic. It's empirically proven that humans come from their mothers (with their dad's sperm in the mix in case you want to get nitpicky).
In the same way, we look at the signs to say God exists, for example
Quote:The slant of the earth, tilted at an angle of 23 degrees, gives us our seasons; if the earth had not been so tilted, vapors from the ocean would move north and south, piling up for us continents of ice. If our moon were, say, only 50,000 miles away instead of its actual distance, our tides might be so enormous that twice a day all continents would be submerged; even the mountains could soon be eroded away. If the crust of the earth had only been ten feet thicker, there would be no oxygen, without which animal life must die. Had the ocean been a few feet deeper, carbon dioxide and oxygen would have been absorbed and no vegetable life could exist.Blablablablabla, therefore god. You have it backwards.
This means there is intelligence behind the universe, therefore we call that intelligence 'God'
Quote:I think many of you don't know who 'God' is, God isnt some guy with a long beard+hair who watched over the world, your idea of God is totally distortedYou don't even know me but you know what my idea of god is? It's hard to take someone seriously when they claim they know me better than I do.
