What would you consider to be evidence for God?

Yes I agree its a miracle that they have maintained authority for 2000 years based on myths of goat herders, but thankfully people are catching on  Wink

Not to mention killing people who told them they were full of shit.  Once they lost that it has been a steady downward spiral.

This is not a coincidence.

Miracle = God fixing a flaw in his plan

Even after all those fixes, the world is still an utter mess. Let's face it, he is not up to the job.

Duel revelation: 1) Scripture reveals the being, nature, and character of God, and the nature of God's creation. 2) The physical universe, the realm of nature, is the visible creation of God thought which all humanity recognizes His existence, power, glory, and wisdom.
So God has revealed Himself; an adequate cause for the universe would need to be transcended to the space-time universe since something inside can't bring itself into existence. Randomness is not an adequate explanation. The information is out there, just have to let it in.
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.

Y'all got any of that 'evidence' to go with those assertions?

To further develop an idea from another post, something I would consider evidence of the Christian God would be for open and notorious scripture cherry pickers to suddenly start explosively shitting out all their internal organs.


I'd be fucking impressed.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Evidence for a God would require it to give man the ability to empirically verify its existence. A God should be able to supply the means.

Evidence for a good God would require the above and an apology that he fucked up. A good God should be big enough to admit its mistakes.

All you've done, snowy, is say that the Universe was created by something with the ability to create a universe, follow it up with some storybook references to "God" making a universe, then conclude that that proves "God" exists. That literally is all you have succeeded in doing. The fact that you feel the need to play it up as a dichotomy with unsupported emphasis on the impossibility of the opposite extreme only highlights your insecurity in your own argument,
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Snowy is easily impressed with his own bullshit.

How do you get from "transcends space and time," to "christian god," without referring to the bible and thus making your argument circular?
