My theory is that there are no gods, simply phenomena which we cannot currently explain.

Upon what do you base your theory? What is your supporting evidence for this?

Very waggish indeed.

The burden of proof is squarely on the shoulders of theists, since they claim knowledge of a god that cannot be seen, touched, heard or even understood. Can you present me with irrefutable, corroborated, tangible evidence of a god's existence? The incredible clams of theists require, no, demand, incredible evidence. Since there is no such evidence, no god exists.

I asked you first.
Redirecting the question isn't gonna cut it bub.

You asked and i answered. Reread my last post.

Alrighty then. I guess we'll both know definitively whether there is or isn't a God one day. But until then ...

Until then... what?

I am not atheist.. far from it.. but.. i used to question my belief in God... for many reasons.. first off.. it is not impossible for the big bang theory.. to of occur'd without the help of God. Just like God.. there are things beyond are grasp of knowledge or acceptance. Anything could of happen'd why the big bang happen'd.. years.. and years.. (trillions billions.. who knows) of gas's mixing could of caused an reaction.. which in turn.. over another billion years.. created our universe.. and caused atoms and particles to move around. First thing everyone needs to understand.. none of this happens over night.. so when you think of it .. OVER time.. it is quite feasible. Just like evoulution.. many people who believe God don't beleive it happen'd.... they believe we simply.. just were as we are. I don't believe that.. i believe.. over MANY MANY years.. things occur'd... that trigger'd our changes. BASHY not meaning to call you on purpose.. but.. yes.. you can believe in the big bang and god at the same time. God doesn't just make things.. he allows them to occur. He allowed the big bang to happen.. which then caused a chain reaction of events.. and allowed the whole process to occur. In the bible.. when they say earth and everything was made in 7 days.. thats just a metaphore.. to say.. it happen'd over time.. not all at once. But to each their own.. no one has the right to call another man ignorant for the way they think.. or what they believe in... memba' mi tell you dat!..

Infidel.. the purpose of God.. is to just have faith. God was created as something for people to believe in.. and to have faith in. He doesn't have to be real to you.. but don't question someone else.. their proof is in their hearts.. thats all.

Are you saying that man created a god just to believe in? I thought you weren't an atheist.

I am not.. but what I am saying is.. that if you dont believe in GOD.. thats how you look at it.. instead of questioning people's beliefs.. thats how I used to look it.. when i question'd it..

Yaadie, let me ask you a question. If someone believed that there was an invisible pink unicorn, believed it with all their heart, would you not question that belief?

Am I the person in question? I had my reasons for not believing.. and I now have my reasons for believing.. so as I said.. i am not in question. But who are you to question someones beliefs.. leave them be is what I am trying to tell you. Who cares what their belief system is.. remember.. to each their own

No you're not the person in question. And you still haven't answered my question. Would you question the belief in an invisible pink unicorn?

What's anything got to do with a pink unicorn? I can see the point you're gonna try to make with that but it aint gonna work. I dont believe we evolved from monkeys and all that rubbish because if that is so why aren't we seeing evolution today? Why did it suddenly stop?
