Is There A Creator?

[goodlife]

If convincing evidence of a creator exists, why do many people believe that God had nothing to do with origin of life.

Goodlife, I wouldn't choose him as a friend. My friends have higher values.

[goodlife]

Poor you.

[naomi24]

Save your sympathy for yourself, goodlife. Sycophancy was never my style.

Goodlife - // If convincing evidence of a creator exists, why do many people believe that God had nothing to do with origin of life. //

Probably because there is no 'evidence' whatsoever, 'convincing' or otherwise.

AH; If the evidence you require was laid before you, are you certain you are equipped to understand it?

[THECORBYLOON]

KHANDRO, let the evidence be presented so that ANDY and others can decide.

[ToraToraTora]

"convincing" is a subjective term, clearly some are more easily "convinced" than others.

[vulcan42]

I think most, if not all, theists have managed to confuse themselves. They talk about how important their faith is and completely ignore the fact that if there was evidence of their God they wouldn't need faith.

That is for now. will come back when you got someing more exciting and snnsible.

My friends have higher values.
um yeah - if you say so

No - are you?//

Sans hésitation alors!

[naomi24]

PP, you’ve missed some of my posts today. You’re slipping. ;o)

[ToraToraTora]

goodlife, when you come back bring some of that "convincing evidence" with you.

If it's hot air you're referring to, you do a good job yourself.

I've been known to create a bit of hot air myself, although mine tends to escape from the other end.

Why am I not surprised.

To shore up the endless weight of belief without evidence, you can't afford any excess baggage like a little self-awareness and a little modesty.

[Khandro]

AH : All this bluster doesn't really amount to much, like all atheists there is always the redolence of insecurity in your attempts at a mock-bravado performance, but it underlies I feel, a deep-down feeling of bewilderment (now there's a good 17th century word meaning 'adrift in pathless places')
Why don't you just say; 'There probably is no God', & leave it at that?

[naomi24]

Khandro, I take exception to your reference to ‘all atheists’. Unlike many, I offer a considered opinion based on years of study. Those who are ill informed but pronounce nonetheless give atheism a bad reputation. Please try to differentiate.
