Okay thanks for your time. I think I'll leave it here as far as you're concerned. Thanks again.Why? You're saying your god exists now. I have evidence of someone who did exist and doesn't anymore.

I have the same evidence for God as you would have for your great grandmother ever existing. It's based on intellectual reasoning. Do you have any evidence for your great great (x100) grandmother ever having lived on earth? Any observable evidence you can show me?
Thanks. How did you come to that conclusion? What exactly do you mean when you say the word "God"?Well the evidence that my great grandmother existed is I exist. That's very observable evidence.
What's the evidence that god exists?
In which case I ask you to ponder over what quantum physics has undeniably demonstrated in that all observable phenomena require a force or consciousness other than matter in order to be observed. I have already alluded to this fact earlier in this thread by the way.
With pleasure Legion. However would you mind first telling me how you've arrived at the conclusion re your grandmother's existence? I know your explanation of the obvious, my question is what did you base that on? What type of rational/reasoning did you use to arrive at your conclusion is what I'm asking?Could you state/link what quantum physics demonstrated?
How did you come to that conclusion?
What exactly do you mean when you say the word "God"?
I know how reproduction works and given that I exist I know that my parents must have existed. I then use a process of deduction to answer the question you propose.
Well, the article was about Atheists so I use the term God in reference to that. ie your traditional single all knowing omnipotent god.
Long live essentialism!Why can't we all just get along?
Oh yea, religion.
Long live essentialism!
Do you essentialise with everything or do you restrict your essentialising to religion only?
The irony of your post is that it's so dangerous, it defeats its own intended message. Do you realise that?
Condescending? I was simply responding to your swipe at religion, which incidentally I took offence to, no more and no less than that mate. Hey, I'm not so big nor arrogant that I won't apologise, so I'm sorry if I came across in a manner you perceived to be condescending brother.I am fully aware of the intent, the scope, and the impact of my post and they all relate only to the microcosm that is this thread.
You seem like a nice guy Fadi but jeez you can be condescending.
Thanks. How did you come to that conclusion? What exactly do you mean when you say the word "God"?
Fadi, I'm sure you or any other believer would expect others to respect your choice and right to beleve however, this same respect should be shown from believers to non believers.Condescending?

You've said the magic word Darkoz: if..., if and when respect is shown, then that same respect would be reciprocated no doubt.Fadi, I'm sure you or any other believer would expect others to respect your choice and right to beleve however, this same respect should be shown from believers to non believers.
Therefore, if this respect is shown from both, then there should never be any offence taken by either side.

I obviously believed that disrespect was shown when it was uncalled for, hence I responded. However I full I am 100% in agreement with you brother, and I'm certainly not trying to shove anything down people's throat here, that is for certain. Each to his or her own, and I have let many disrespectful comments slide by the way side simply because it wasn't worth my time to retaliate to such juvenile behaviour, which I really don't care much for.
While it is recognised that modern science has accomplished a great deal through an increased understanding of our world and a material improvement in the quality of our lives, it must also be realised that there are serious limitations and flaws to ideologies based only on empirical knowledge and the modern scientific method.“Though Science has given us many marvels, it has also spoiled many of our pleasant dreams"
