Quote: Evenbob

God is no respecter of anything, there
is no god. I always have to interject
that because I get so tired of people
talking like god is a proven fact when
they haven't a shred of evidence to back
it up.

Nor do you to prove there is none. So where does that leave things?

Quote: AZDuffman

Nor do you to prove there is none.

How do you prove a negative. I can't prove
thargs and norps and orcs don't exist
either, because I just made them up. There
are hundreds of gods that people made
up for one reason or another, they can't
prove they in any way exist.

I don't care what people believe, as long
as they don't present it as irrevocable
truth when they have no proof. FrG's
argument is always, lots of people believe
it so it must be true. Worst argument ever.
Half the country was convinced beyond
a shadow of a doubt Hillary would win.
They still haven't gotten over the truth.

Nobody has yet to prove that an undetectable, invisible dinosaur does not live in my backyard

And you cannot prove they do not. My proof remains, show me how life springs from no life, then you have at least some proof. Science has proven that life does not spontaneously generate. Some outside force had to have created life.

There is of course no proof, that is why people have "faith." I will say that faith in a higher power usually prevents people or a society from going down a bad road, an exception being islam. Atheists are far more likely to believe in global warming and that we can somehow just change a planet's climate if we put our mind to it. A common step in addiction recovery is admitting there is a higher power, greater than yourself. Note that the most repressive regimes in the world have usually been atheist, again islam being the exception.

In the end, you are just believing something you cannot prove either.

If he did there would be lots of droppings.

HAHA

the dinosaur is undetectable - nothing about it is detectable but I have "faith" it is there - I know it in my heart and "soul"

perhaps I am merely schizophrenic

You said the dinosaur is undetectable. I might not see a dog in the backyard, but the dog dirt it deposits show it to be there.

What on earth am I doing with my Saturday morning?????

Talk to the haters who could not handle seeing the word "God."
