So, the real issues are whether God exists and whether He said it.
If the answers to both of these questions are "yes", the rest is pretty straightforward.
Just one, teeny problem with your premise, Randy. How do you know if god said something?
Chemistry major? Or chemical engineer? Impressive.
Let's put your intellect to work for a moment...
If YOU were God, how would you make something that you wanted known known?

BUT if there are folks - even atheists - who are actually interested in understanding what Catholics believe (and not a parody of that) then I think my post is a basic starting point.
I think most people here know very well what Christians (in general) believe in, and that's why many of us are atheists.
After many years of discussing Catholicism online, it is my opinion that not many people (Catholic or otherwise) really understand transubstantiation.
But if this forum is really that up on the subject, I look forward to many interesting threads on this and other topics of interest!
