Yeah...
The tendency for a lot of theists (not all) to shut down questions is not encouraging. The truth doesn't need protecting.

Join a Christian forum, a Catholic forum, an Islamic forum, a Jewish forum, etc etc (for other major religions), and ask there what all their arguments/reasons are for the existence of their god(s). If you are genuine in your search for information on this issue, I think asking this question on theist forums would be a more logical approach. I don't think you're going to be able to gather much info at all asking a question like this on an atheist forum. There are only a handful of active theists here.

Would that be translated as "asking questions"?

I guess, I asked for any evidence and someone told me they had a personal expirence, I told them I was looking for evidence that wasn't anecdotal and the thread was deleted and my account deactivated. :/

Lol!
Well, that's just peachy isn't it. I'm guessing that answers your question as far as that forum is concerned.
How pathetic. We let theists run riot here, asking every question they can think of. We're not scared of questions. We encourage them.

Try joining another one again and be courteous and respectful next time around. Most theist forums are not as relaxed as this forum when it comes to conduct, especially if you go in there and start attacking their faith. Go in there, and be as objective as possible. Simply ask questions and listen. I've been in a Catholic forum (Catholic Answers) and a Mormon forum (LDS.net), both of which had productive atheist discussions so long as there was mutual respect.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Here's your evidence GeneralDog:
Quote:A/S/K (Matthew 7:7-12)
Ask and it will be given to you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened
You may have heard of this in psychology circles too. They call it "Confirmation bias".
Seek, and you will find what you were looking for, regardless of whether the facts actually fit it.

I see... I'm starting to realize this search is a failure, I look at videos/articles and each one has a horrible misunderstanding of space and things of that nature. Everyone starts with "Evolutionists believe the universe started with an explosion."

Look at the birds, the trees, and the fine tuning of the universe.
I've had personal experiences that should convince you of Lord Odin's existence.
I don't understand how the universe could be here without a designer.
Any other fallacies you want me to repeat?
