Theists - what convinced you?

RE: Theists - what convinced you?
(April 12, 2010 at 12:24 am)The Piper Wrote: Firstly, where did God come from?
Nowhere. He always was.

Why couldn't creation be eternal?

(April 12, 2010 at 12:24 am)The Piper Wrote: How do I know this to be true?
The creation itself is evidence for the creator. Time is part of God's creation, God exists outside the confines of time.

You didn't establish anything. You just regurgitated the previous point and added a baseless assertion.

Finish these sentences.

I believe God is the creator of the Universe because _________________.

I know this information to be true because _____________________.

(April 12, 2010 at 12:24 am)The Piper Wrote: Define "The creation", please.
The universe and everything in it.

How can you make a judgement call about something that occurred OUTSIDE of the universe - which by definition, is: All matter and energy, including the earth, the galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space, regarded as a whole.?

The question being "describe a specific event, revelation, or series of events that led you to your belief".
I have already stated somewhere in a thread, maybe even this one that it would take too long. Besides which, I don't think you would be interested.

I don't ask questions to have them go unanswered. You don't have to copy and paste, but at least provide a link. The time you took writing that vague response took longer than searching for a thread, finding it, and pasting a link to it here.

You added numerous attributes to your God, none of which were in the initial definition. I urge you to first define him clearly, then demonstrate how such an entity exists.
