What evidence do you have?

I was just wondering if you would accept any evidence God exists and what would that entail?

How many times do you plan on doing this?

I asked you to define god and you gave only 1 criteria, that it is an object that has always existed. So if you can find this object and show taht it has always existed even before the big bang then you're done. This is what you have to show. And this is completely based on your definition of god, not ours.

The independently verifiable and demonstrable kind. Got any of that?

This always comes off sounding so desperate as well as lame.

A simpler response to the idea that nothing can come from nothing is to conclude, fine, then everything comes from that which came before. If we go back far enough, it won't always be possible to learn much about what it was which preceded some things but I have faith that the conditions which gave rise to each and every phenomena are always and necessarily the result of adequate underlying conditions.

What evidence have you got?

I think I get what he/she's doing now.

The strategy is to keep asking until someone says something that he can provide.

And if he can't provide it, then "nothing can convince us so even if there is evidence we wouldn't believe it".

Why do theists always have "win win strategies" but don't see that because it is a "win win strategy", they can never win?
