That's a positive claim about God there. Who says God is meant to exist objectively?
Do you have proof of that?
.
God does exist subjectively in peoples minds but to be able create the universe, perform miracles and impregnate virgins he does need to exist objectively as well.

The only claim I've ever made about God is that I believe. That is all the evidence you need...
I make no claims about virgin births, nor miracles. Those perceptions only exist in your mind.
.
However, just to fuck with you guys, I will admit that I do believe that virgin births are possible.
*edited for grammar
.
And to futher fuck with you guys...
I firmly believe that 11=3

Nice little moving of the goal posts there, don't think for a minute that I didn't catch that...

Who said you had to accept it! Having the means doesn't mean you have to use them.

There is a great deal we don't understand about the universe or why it exists as it does but any explanation that you put forward that can be potentially detected in the natural world would be a scientific claim. If there can be no evidence of any kind ever then you're just left with pure speculation, but you can't really base a religion or a belief in a deity on that. So then it's as good job I don't base my belief on that. The consideration to Christians is entirely superfluous.
To science it is of interest, and some importance. Don't make the error of confusing the two. Especially not in trying to understand God using science.

If God created the universe out of nothing and supposedly encompasses everything, would we not be made out of God?

Please, would you like to deny your own words for everyone to see?
I would also absolutely adore it if you'd call me a fool. Pretty please?

And for the record, you moved them again... I never claimed that you said I had to accept them, just that you said I had the means to accept them...

No I'm not. I care less about your lame attempts at insults.
I'm concerned about your blatant disregard for the truth.
Do you, or do you not, deny that your initial claim was that I had the means to accept all of scripture?
Do you, or do you not, deny that you then changed that claim above by saying I had the means to consider all of scripture?
Remember, bear no false witness. Own up to your error or defend yourself against my accusations.

Some kind of a deistic God? I can't argue with with that but I don't really see the point of a God who doesn't do anything or doesn't offer anything. He may as well not exist.

Parthenogenesis does happen naturally without a God being involved. We're talking fish, insects and lizards. It hasn't been recorded in mammals but here's something to bear in mind.
"There are no known cases of naturally occurring mammalian parthenogenesis in the wild. Parthenogenetic progeny of mammals would have two X chromosomes, and would therefore be female."

You can believe in something and that belief can be wrong then, if that's what you're demonstrating.

I'm not talking about Parthenogenesis . I'm talking about a virgin getting pregnant and having a baby. There's not much to it really. A virgin gets a little semen in her vagina (past her unbroken hymen), and conceives a child...

I missed that clarification and it only happened a few posts ago? How could I miss that?
If you cannot admit your words were a mistake or an outright lie, then I don't wish to discuss anything with you.
