And therefore, finding evidence of God is not a possible thing in the first place. That's why we can only depend on our reasoning, logic, and intuitive thinking to know the truth. So, that's the reason why I believe in a God even though I don't have any evidence for His existence.
... I guess that's what faith is all about, eh?
It's because god is such a far fetched and unverifiable claim that it becomes a non-answer. It is a useless explanation. It doesn't give us greater knowledge or understanding in anything, and we can't confirm any of it.
Just because we don't know exactly how the universe came about doesn't mean we should jump to baseless assertions.
One day we might know. The universe may have always existed in one form or another. That's a good possibility. Also that is something we can find out and verify, unlike goddidit.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
