God is extraordinary yes he is. The evidence is all around you. Isn't what is on this earth extraordinary. You don't believe because you want to see. If God made it that easy then what would be the purpose of learning? What would be the purpose of life? You live, love and die and that's it no God. Just because you have not seen does not mean you don't have to believe.

Would it actually be helping them? As I've pointed out before, religious practice/attendance has a positive effect on health, recognised by WHO and by the discipline of psychology.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

I somethings start a conversation with my siblings about religion. I don't do it for the goal of converting them, but just to have a conversation.
FYI: all my siblings are religious, and they all know I'm not.

Learned well I see in the concepts of Philosophy. It is not nonsense. Science then let your science explain the perfectly designed sequence of DNA every human has. Let your Science explain how the Universe began. Let your Science explain why we have witnessed many miracles. Your Science will say I don't know but we think it happened this way or will say we don't know. You cant figure out God that easily. If you have ever done the math the chances of there being life on this planet are 1 in a trillion of a trillionth. It would be virtually impossible. We should not even be here. Everything on this earth was perfectly designed for us. We were put on the right spot from the sun. We were giving a moon in the perfect distance to control the tides. Jupiter was made gigantic to protect us from asteroids and if Jupiter were smaller then this world would have been hammered from time to time. We were giving an atmosphere. We were giving intelligence and the ability to love not by chance, but because of God. If like you say let Science prove our existence then I guarantee you that in the end your answer will be we shouldn't even exist. Nothing ever happens by chance. There is always a reason for everything. The reason behind our existence is God.

No, but it is your explanation for the Universe and for humanity.
