Christians, what is your VERY BEST arguments for the existence of God?
RE: Christians, what is your VERY BEST arguments for the existence of God?
Unfortunately my homework is repetitive so I get side tracked easily. Anyways...

Quote:H.) But why use the dictionary definition when, in past experiences, said definition has failed to shed light on the experience in question? My own definition is based upon real life observance of coincidence as it has occured before me. It would be like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. You also point out that that definition is accepted by the majority of people as true, but remember, so is Christianity.

I use the dictionary definition because if everyone used their own definition we wouldn't be talking about the same thing.

Quote:I don't find that that definition even applies to this situation, as if it might have been arranged then that makes it all the more likely that a God was behind was appeared to be 'mere coincidence.'

The definition I provided is pertinent to the situation because your assumption that a god is behind this makes it seem like the situation might have been arranged. The Christian God is all knowing and therefore would have lead your friend to his house or wherever he went to help; this is where I consider the situation might have been arranged. The rest of the definition says that it is actually accidental, which was my point.

Quote:Yet you cannot prove that such a thing as 'gravity' exists. I am not denying the natural force itself, merely pointing out that to presume if you throw the calculator up, it will come down, is an excercise of faith. Merely because, you cannot for certain know whether gravity will act on it without assumption or belief. To assume is arrogant, however, because it is without basis at all. That is why it is an assumption.

If it is the gravity defined by science then it will come down unless I threw the calculator at a speed that would escape Earth's gravitational pull. The assumption that gravity will act on my calculator is an assumption, but not one without basis.
