Edited by Colt1775: 3/19/2015 5:26:35 PMIt's not on the internet. It's literally everywhere. What are you doing right now? What do you see when you look up at night? What do you hear when you walk in the woods? What do you taste when you eat? There's your evidence of God right there. Its always been there and not once have you ever noticed until now.

You're only seeing things as their face value. Look further than face value for once.
-
Ok, my observations show that I have a conscious mind capable of interpreting information and compiling it into visual, audible, and physical information. It shows that I am the only being that I truly know is alive and not a figment of imagination, and that is all.
-
And my observations have shown me God is real.
-
"My bread is white. Must mean the earth is supported by a massive turtle called the Zaratan and gravity is a fictional force created so that diet companies can prey on fat people" That's how you sound. It's ridiculous
-
That's evidence of my taste buds
-
You're not seeing the picture.
-
So explain the picture to me?
-
Can't you just have to see further than what you see. You have to be open to it.
-
I am, you haven't provided a single thing for me to even make me think twice.
-
I'm sorry then dude, I tried. I really gave it my all. Only thing left to do is find a church and try to get rooted in it. Words can only do so much, now It's time to see what I was talking about in action for yourself.
-
I have found a church, I went to bible camp, I did everything but it was like seeing 2+2=5. I'm sorry but you just simply don't have reliable evidence to make me believe again. I was born, then I was told there was a god so I believed for most of my life. Then after actually reading the bible I realized it was wrong.
-
There we go! Finally getting into your story. Tell me more about the decline or your faith.
-
I see the beautiful stars that are millions of light years away so there goes your theory that the earth is 6000 years old.
-
I never said the earth was 6,000 years old did I? The earth could be 700,000,000,000,000 years old and it couldn't matter to me because ultimately God created it regardless.
-
Science suggests otherwise
-
Science is based on what humans think they know
-
Its based on what reality presents to us.
-
And reality is based on what we surround ourselves with.
-
Do you believe gods word is correct, because the genealogical timeline of gods words shows the world being that age. If not then you are picking and choosing what to believe.
-
Nowhere in the bible does it say the world is 6,000 years old. There was that gap between the moment of creation and the recording of events. Or you may not be able to handle this one, what if science is wrong? What if the world is 8 thousand years old and our carbon dating is just theories and all data returned by method of carbon dating is wrong because it lined up with a theory and collection of numbers made up by narrowminded humans who thought they were smarter than they are. You can't handle that one can you? I can tell you why. Because it either isn't what you want to hear or it doesn't line up with what you've been told your whole life. That's always the two reasons why someone would disagree with what they are told.
-
Edited by Jack: 3/19/2015 7:36:37 PMThat's why we do not only use carbon dating, we use radiometric dating which has hundreds of different methods that all produce the same thing. But if it is wrong science will accept it. You have to find the evidence [u]then make the claim[/u]. Not make the claim, [i]then find the evidence[/i]
-
That's not how faith works and you know it.
-
Yes, and I don't trust anything by faith if evidence suggests otherwise
