That God exists outside time, is the prime mover, and everything that follows from that. A metaphor for the human condition contained in the Adam and Eve story ...it's awesome stuff you have to struggle to understand let alone formulate. Obviously knowledge has not gotten us very far.

After playing God of War... I am extremely impressed with how far we've come Smile Oh, and all that other technology as a sidenote of what knowledge has brought us Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

And where is the evidence to prove these assertions?

You don't need evidence because they are ideas about God. Things these primitive people worked out. We can do simple math (well some of us Tongue LOL Wink) but we can't formulate a better concept of 'God'.

So how can you prove that your ideas about God are any more valid than any other idea about existence?

There'd be no point to belief in God without the rewards. The cumulative message is positively effective. To me it's valid because it works. And I see the inadequacy of denying it.

And what "rewards" have you had as a believer?
