Any Theists on AF, I Challenge You to a Debate on the Existence of God

I don't understand what this means. What information do you have that I don't? What information are you accepting that I don't?
Logical proofs of God. What you and I understand are different which is why we believe differently. I accept religious information to be true. You understand it some other way besides true information. We have the same availability of information but can interpret that information individually. No two persons have the same understanding.

I don't agree that there is no supernatural evidence. I think supernatural evidence is a logical fallacial statement that needs exorcising.

It definitely does not follow that it is logical to believe that nothing supernatural exists. Again, that is totally illogical. You cannot know, so you cannot comment on what you don't know. you have no way of finding out. Because we can define something logically makes the existence of something logical logically possible. We don't KNOW if it exists or not. This is our only correct scientific conclusion.

You seem to be changing the level of evidence you are willing to accept for a claim based on how much you want the claim to be true. That's fine, but to call it logic is misguided.

You seem to be making claims with no relation to science or logic. I don't find that meets my standard for 'skeptic'.

That's why I said it was 50/50 yes.

I claim to believe in a supernatural entity, to be clear. It's plausibility rests in its application. It explains purpose.
