Anyway, given that mankind has evolved from other apes and then from mammals, it should be safe to admit that once upon a time the concept of God or gods didn't exist in any mind on this Earth.
At some point in pre-history that concept appeared in human minds.
How?
What was the first concept of God like?
How?!
This first "how"is important. If there is a god, then that god likely presented itself... If so, then it should be able to present itself to everyone else... That it doesn't presents a challenge to the initial premise.
If it doesn't exist, then it was invented by human imagination... Need I say more?
That's the thing sport. we are all hurdling toward the day that God does indeed 'present' Himself, but unfortunately it will be far too late to seek or find redemption at that point.
Why? because the point of redemption is to be earnestly and honestly genuine sorry for your sins, and not sorry you got caught, which is what a judgment day recanment of sin would show to be.
However we all do indeed have an opportunity to 'meet God' before that day. But on his terms, not yours.
What a bunch of unevidenced assertions and drivel.
And the word is 'hurtling', you dumb ass.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
