I've never said it was or wasn't there. What I'm saying is that atheist consider Christians delusional because we believe in the unseen God, yet atheist who believe in dark matter and/or energy that can't be seen nor has it any evidence do not apply the same state of delusion to themselves. I find this absolutely crazy. Then of coarse those who believe in dark matter and/or energy have convinced themselves it's there because there is a need for it to be there. This is the very same thing atheist say about Christians, go figure how they can consider themselves sane.

"Believe in dark matter"? I don't pray to or worship it. Really, being a lay person, I mostly am just aware of it as a scientific theory which would account for some of what can be observed. I doubt if most scientists would say they 'believe in it'. However I believe in gravity because I've observed and experience its effects. That doesn't mean I know what gravity is exactly. I wonder if you can say the same about the god you experience? I suppose this is where you reach for your rock of ages and make completely unsupportable claims about the bible.
