Who's trying to gain acceptance here; the religious or the atheist?
Of course the atheist. Therefore, it's their duty to provide something worth taking into consideration if their ideology is to be accepted. You're presented with the argument God exists.

Who's trying to gain acceptance here; the religious or the atheist?There is no tangible evidence of any acts of God that living people can see happening right now. Example 1: The existence of humans on earth is attributed to the highly tested theory of evolution, not an act of an invisible man in the sky. Example 2: Genesis speaks of a garden on Earth where there are trees whose fruit give knowledge of good and evil or eternal life, guarded by cherubim and a flaming sword. If the Bible were a book of fact, we would be able to find it. Without evidence of God being real, it is natural to think that God might not actually be real. --- I'm not very good at this... ...

There is no tangible evidence of any acts of God that living people can see happening right now. Saying "There isn't evidence of God's existence" isn't a valid argument. Now saying "There isn't sufficient proof of God's existence" makes more sense because the Universe, as massive and expanding as it is, isn't and probably might never be 100% explored. And claiming God to be an "invisible man in the sky" doesn't help your case as God can be anything from an invisible omnipotent force to something that encompasses the entire Universe. It's just as bad as people who refer to the Bible as "fairy tales". Disparaging comments like these wouldn't fly in a real world debate. Zeeak4444 posted...

Yes it is. Existence claims need to be supported with evidence, otherwise they can be summarily dismissed. I, for one, couldn't prove to you that God exists. I'm not a gnostic theist. They could probably point to those crepuscular rays and say "That's God's work". Given that some probably see God as a concept rather than a physical being, he is unprovable. That's why religion is faith based. They can only tell through real-life experiences. Zeeak4444 posted... Ya everything you've said has been "marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion". You're nuts if you think I'm enthusiastic about these sort of debates. I don't let my stance on God define who I' am as a person in real life. I don't try to convince to you that God exists, rather, I enjoy challenging the ideology that is atheism when the opportunity presents itself. Even then, it's of no use because we will never convince the other party and vice versa. MysticMismagius posted... Ok, fine. There isn't sufficient evidence of God's existence. Happy? That's probably how religious people view God as. To me, God may be a physical being, I don't know, but I see him more as a concept that encompasses the entire Universe. --- Wrestling beauty Candice Michelle is the epitome of smart, sexy, and powerful Currently Playing - Forza Motorsport 4 & PGR 4 on Xbox 360 ...

Now saying "There isn't sufficient proof of God's existence" makes more sense because the Universe, as massive and expanding as it is, isn't and probably might never be 100% explored. That's not really fair, though. All claims that exist without any evidence are not, "lacking sufficient evidence". If I claim something insane, like that the ancient pyramids were built by time traveling New Yorker's who had been enslaved by inter-dimensional lizard people, you would say "there is no evidence of that" because the claim lacks evidence. As for Christianity, it inherently can't have any proof. The concepts of faith and proof are mutually exclusive. You can either have one or the other. Faith, by definition, means believing in something without faith. So there actually is 'no evidence of God'. That being said, I agree that calling a god, "a magic sky man" is asinine and hurts his cause more than it helps it. ... Copied to Clipboard!
