Evidence God Exists: Part II

[Watson]

It doesn't matter what he would DO if there were a sexy woman in his bed (ok it would matter to the two of them, but you know what I mean). What matters is that there was no actual sexy woman in his bed at the time he wrote it. Saying there is won't change it if there isn't. And if he pretends that she's there in his mind, sure he'll have fun with a bit of self-entertainment and feel good, but she isn't really there! To pretend otherwise is silly and delusional.

Einsetin's theory of relativity predicted black holes before we discovered black holes. Lo and behold, we have discovered that black holes do, in fact, exist. By using his theory, Einstein was able to predict that something, in this case black holes, was possible or would happen without knowing if it really was thee or not.

Similarly, I can predict the way someone will act or not act if they deny God.

If that were true, there would be no atheists, no believers in non-deity religions (like buddhists and ancestor worshippers), etc. No need for bibles or churches since everything would be instinctual. I have never believed in gods.

This is where the concept of 'free will' comes in. You have a choice whether to believe or not. But you are born with the clearest image possible of the world around you, and so the choice is damn enar instinctual.

When the concept was first presented to me, at a very early age (it's one of my earliest memories), I laughed and immediately wanted to hear the details of this fun fictional cat-in-the-hat-like tale, so I asked who created God, etc. They couldn't answer these things that showed the story made no sense. My amusement turned to confusion when it seemed they were treating this tale as real, and then even a bit of anger when they expected me to treat it as real also, which is not something I've ever been likely to do since I prefer not to lie unless there is a good enough reason to.

I understand this. When you were young you chose not to believe, as somewhere down the line you were exposed to things that you chose to put more stock in than faith, belief, and God.
