Responding to the Challenge
#28
RE: Responding to the Challenge
So when you prayed sincerely, as an "atheist" (which, of course, is impossible, thus the quotations) Jehova proved Himself to you? As a small aside, here is my favorite bit from any Douglas Adams book:

Quote:"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that You exist, and so therefore, by Your own arguments, You don't. Q.E.D."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

Also, Daystar, you've brought up this point or a similar one before: "You are young." And I think perhaps you should be wary of prejudicing yourself against what other people think based on what conclusions you've drawn about them. Age does not indicate wisdom, and if you are dismissing what people younger than you say based simply on their age, you've got to clear your head. I find that, although you have what seems to be a good grasp of the hebrew bible, you are not particularly well versed in the sciences, and in fact often stubbornly refuse to look into things that we talk about here. Should I then attribute this to your age, and say to myself, "Oh he's old, and set in his ways." I'd rather not, because no one's going to learn a thing.
