No...fucking...way...
So it's true. Let a chimpanzee pound away at a computer long enough and they will eventually type an intelligible sentence. That's the only explanation I can come up with. Otherwise...

A Serious Question For Theists

What evidence or arguments do you have for a god?

The bible is not evidence. It is a list of contradictory, historically inaccurate claims.

The burden of proof only lies on me if I am bringing the message to you. You are the one demanding the answers.
That's a complete misunderstanding of the burden of proof. You say the bible is true, you say you believe everything outlined in it. You must support those claims.
(June 9, 2014 at 9:23 am)Severan Wrote: [quote='Eye of God' pid='685098' dateline='1402373170']It's obvious that theists have made the claim that there is a 'god' or some higher power. There are hundreds of religions. Each one is a claim to be the true belief. Religion is claiming a deity.
Yet despite this, theists fight tooth and nail to shift the burden of proof to atheists. We are just skeptics. Until any religion provides evidence for a claim, we must assume that god does not exist.
Assume all you want. God will not accept your excuses.
Neither will we accept your pallid excuses for your lack of evidence to support your claims.
Do you know how ridiculous your posturing looks right now? You're doing the equivalent of standing in someone's front yard, staring down the loaded barrel of a 12 gauge shotgun, screaming that you have an invisible friend in a Sherman tank behind you, who will level the house and kill everyone inside if they don't give you the shotgun, profess belief in your invisible Sherman tank commander, and beg for mercy.
Stop making silly threats you can't back up, stop hollering, and get off the lawn. You're embarrassing yourself.

If you've already made up your mind, than stop asking pointless questions.
Hold on: You're the guy with an invisible buddy. No one asked you to come here and post pointless replies and baseless threats and accusations.
Nobody here cares what you believe, you silly loon.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

The Bible is our only evidence. It was inspired by the Creator of the universe. I need no other evidence.
If it were true that your god were actually the creator of the universe the evidence would be intrinsic in the fundamental structure of the universe.
No text would be required, indeed such would indicate that the claim is false if the text does not conform to the physical universe.

The reason I'm asking for this proof is that the burden of proof always lies on the person making the claim.
It's obvious that theists have made the claim that there is a 'god' or some higher power. There are hundreds of religions. Each one is a claim to be the true belief. Religion is claiming a deity.
Yet despite this, theists fight tooth and nail to shift the burden of proof to atheists. We are just skeptics. Until any religion provides evidence for a claim, we must assume that god does not exist.
So, really. Don't give me 'bible verses' or already refuted arguments and call it evidence. Give me some real evidence that your god exists. If you can't find any, that's because it really doesn't.
the "all the evidence is wrong" is as silly as the god in the bible is literaly real. But one look at politicians shows that silly is normal for us apes.

Well, as our standard of evidence is set so, so much higher than what yours appears to be, we do.

No, the Bible is evidence of Christians and Jews. No one is arguing that those don't exist, but the Bible doesn't prove God's existence any more than comic books prove Batman's existence.

And yet, you assume there is a god, with no evidence.
