THE GOD CHALLENGE |
I am challenging all religious believers to supply OBJECTIVE VERIFIABLE
EVIDENCE
that their God actually exists. If you live your life based on your God
belief you should be
able to supply this evidence.
P. S. Ancient documents by other humans of unknown veracity are NOT
objective verifiable evidence.
They are merely the 'opinions' of other humans.

No Bill. Though our Christian "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16) and we are
to "evidence" our God by loving and caring action, we are not going to send
you all our money to prove our love for you. We would rather put our money
into the collection plate ...if you don't mind.

"I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is
a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the
crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due
to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious
indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility
corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of
nature and of our own being."

Why does an omnipotent god need money? It's the church that wants your
money, and they bilk it from believers tax-free. They've even got you
believing it goes to a good cause. Like this one.

Don't tell us what he did NOT say!!! But tell us what he means by
wanting "evidence". So tell us how he want our God evidenced to him. Most
atheists suggest we send them all our money as evidence for our love for
them, for our Christian "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16).

I would have to disagree with you to a point. I call upon the counsel of
godly men at times because I don't always know what I should do. I think
God uses wise counsel to help Christians along their way. In my case, I've
had some really awesome Christians who have helped me many times. I
still meet with another Christian every week to share ideas and support
one another.

More mental illogic. You can't ' provide physical evidence that something
does not exist.
Good logic is that if there is NO objective verifiable evidence that
somehting exists it is 'logical'
to assume it does not exist!

Dear James,
It's interesting how your Big Bang arguement gets dismissed by Christopher.
And why is it Christopher has such a need to call you a liar and an idiot.
Says a lot about his objectivity.
Seems like so many of these atheists need anger management training.
The Big Bang theory is science verifying what the Bible predicted thousands
of years before telescopes. What was once considered just a fable (Genesis
1) is now accepted by virtually every scientist today. 50 years ago, this
guy would have gone along with the science of the day that thought time and
space were eternal and infinite. Even believers rejected Genesis 1 as being
the literal truth. Everyone now knows the Bible was correct.
Christopher still won't believe, even as science continues to converge to
the Biblical account. Wonder what he'll say when he learns that evolution
is not "an observed fact".
Sincerely,
Bob

Dear Christopher and Azaliah,
Come now guys. You know better than that.
Perhaps you can come up with a more scientific arguement.
Calling someone a liar is not science.
They're rationalising to try and fit the bible to the current state of
knowledge. But even then they have nothing. He has rationalised the
big bang as "let there be light", and persuaded himself that this is
what the bible is describing.
No. You apparently misunderstood.
Genesis says "In the beginning....". What could be simpler?
That's what the Big Bang theory says too - NOW - thousands of years after
the Bible said it.
It's interesting to me that you say I am "fitting the Bible to the current
state of knowledge."
Isn't that what scientists do? Think about Einstein. He said light would
be bent by the sun's gravity. He wrote it down in the book. Up to that
time, science believed gravity and light were totally independent.
Scientists did not believe what Einstein said. They probably wanted to
disprove him as just being nutty. But when they did their experiments they
actually did observe light being bent by the sun. The scientific
conclusion? Einstein was given credibility. Were the scientists
"rationalizing to fit their observations to Einstein's writings?" No, they
had to accept that Einstein had it right.
How does my post differ? Someone (Moses) wrote in a book, like Einstein.
Science said the book was wrong. Science said time had no beginning and
they said the universe had existed forever. The Bible said something
different. But, when the scientists finally had the tools to check, they
discovered there was a "beginning". Their experiments with visual and
physical evidence affirmed the Bible. So, now it's time to give the author
who predicted the "beginning" credibility.
But, you refuse to do that. Interesting. Pretty unscientific of you.
Then you say, it's possible the Big Bang theory is wrong!
But, as for now, science says time and space had a beginning.
If you disagree with the science of our day, give your arguements.
The Bible goes further. It says "God created the heavens and the earth".
That also matches what science believes. It was all created in the big
bang. The earth was not formed. Big Bang again agrees with what the Bible
says. Then Genesis says "let there be light". Science agrees this is the
proper sequence.
OK. What am I lying about?
I have never read about any scientist who disagrees with this.
Instead of saying I am a liar, perhaps you could give me a reference?
Sincerely,
Bob

Dear Christopher and Azaliah,
Come now guys. You know better than that.
Perhaps you can come up with a more scientific arguement.
Calling someone a liar is not science.
Bellowing religous ignorance, without ONE SHRED of supportive evidence, is
not REALITY.
They're rationalising to try and fit the bible to the current state of
knowledge. But even then they have nothing. He has rationalised the
big bang as "let there be light", and persuaded himself that this is
what the bible is describing.
No. You apparently misunderstood.
Genesis says "In the beginning....". What could be simpler?
That's what the Big Bang theory says too - NOW - thousands of years after
the Bible said it.
It's interesting to me that you say I am "fitting the Bible to the current
state of knowledge."
Well, duhhhhhh.......... ALL RELIGIONS (AFAIK) have a "beginning" of some
sort.
You cannot start the universe or the existance of mankind with an "in the
beginning".
So your biblical "in the beginning" means absolutely nothing as far as
reality and science are concerned.
The fact that this fairy tale said something long before science discovered
an actual scientific event (whic is NOT related to the fairy tale) means
nothing.
The "Big Bang" theory says nothing of the sort.
It only mentions this particular "big bang", not knowing whether there was
something before it or not.
Isn't that what scientists do?
Absolutely not.
Think about Einstein. He said light would
be bent by the sun's gravity. He wrote it down in the book.
He had knowledge, perhaps evidence, that led him to that theory.
He didn't wake up one morning and just decide "I thinkn I'll bellow that
gravity can bend light".
Up to that
time, science believed gravity and light were totally independent.
Up until that time, scientists, if they accepted that theory, were wrong
(nothing new to science .. a theory is accepted until there is some factual,
valid evidence to suggest otherwise. That's why they are called theories)..
Those who said "we don't yet know" weren't wrong.
Scientists did not believe what Einstein said.
Wrong.
SOME may have, others were waiting for, or seeking, EVIDENCE to support or
disprove the claim.
They probably wanted to
disprove him as just being nutty.
No. They wanted to prove or disprove his theories with facts and evidence.
But when they did their experiments they
actually did observe light being bent by the sun.
and proved his theory had merit.
The scientific
conclusion? Einstein was given credibility. Were the scientists
"rationalizing to fit their observations to Einstein's writings?" No,
they
had to accept that Einstein had it right.
Einstein HAD credibility. It was his theories (just like those of ANY OTHER
SCIENTIST) that were questioned and tested.
How does my post differ? Someone (Moses) wrote in a book,
Prove it.
like Einstein.
Science said the book was wrong.
It had no valid, supportive evidence; and still doesn't!
Science said time had no beginning and
they said the universe had existed forever.
That was a theory held by some. That theory was changed / disgarded when
evidence of another theory proved that theory in error.
The Bible said something
different. But, when the scientists finally had the tools to check, they
discovered there was a "beginning". Their experiments with visual and
physical evidence affirmed the Bible. So, now it's time to give the
author
who predicted the "beginning" credibility.
It "affirmed" nothing of the sort!
Even I could write a fairy tale book that has vague connections to this
world, and one five hundred years from now ... that doesn't make it any less
a fairy tale!
But, you refuse to do that. Interesting. Pretty unscientific of you.
Because your claims of why we should have NO merit. They are only, like
someone else said, psychotic ramblings of someone pretending to validate teh
bible by warping what it, and science, say.
Then you say, it's possible the Big Bang theory is wrong!
But, as for now, science says time and space had a beginning.
If you disagree with the science of our day, give your arguements.
The Bible goes further. It says "God created the heavens and the earth".
That also matches what science believes. It was all created in the big
bang. The earth was not formed. Big Bang again agrees with what the
Bible
says. Then Genesis says "let there be light". Science agrees this is the
proper sequence.
OK. What am I lying about?
That there was ANY kind of "gawd" behind it all. That science supports the
"christian/Jewish bible.
That "gawd created the heavens and the earth" is anything akin to 15 billion
years of astronomical evolution.
That you are not warping the bible and science in an ignorant attempt to
validate a fairy tale.
I have never read about any scientist who disagrees with this.
I have never read about anyone who is as big an ***** as you. That proves
nothing!
Instead of saying I am a liar, perhaps you could give me a reference?
Gee ......... how about we start with .... everything you've claimed........

Dear ZenIsWhen,
I read the responses to my post.
I see you all agree that Genesis does indeed match what current science says
about the beginnings of the universe we live in.
Your major arguement (reading between your insults) is that you disagree
that God was involved.
You believe the Big Bang just happened - that it was natural phenomenon.
That is indeed a difference in our views of the universe. Without the
Bible, I would agree with you. But, the fact that the Bible exists, and the
fact that the Bible got the Big Bang theory exactly correct, is a problem.
You try to explain that away as just a coincidence. But, how many
coincidences do you need before you conclude that maybe its not just
coincidence - a good guess?
You raise a good point.
You say sarcastically "gawd created the heavens and the earth" is anything
akin to 15 billion years of astronomical evolution."
That's what I understand too. Todays astronomers believe the Big Bang
happened about 15 billion years ago.
What if the Bible also agrees that the "beginning" occurred 15 billion years
ago? It does.
Is that just another coincidence?
(Christopher. Sorry I'm not going to change the subject to floods, bats and
mountains.
Try to focus on the current topic for now.)

state of knowledge."
It's post facto rationalisation, moron.
But in any case the big bang does not say "In the beginning...".
Isn't that what scientists do? Think about Einstein. He said light would
be bent by the sun's gravity. He wrote it down in the book. Up to that
time, science believed gravity and light were totally independent.
Scientists did not believe what Einstein said. They probably wanted to
disprove him as just being nutty. But when they did their experiments they
actually did observe light being bent by the sun. The scientific
conclusion? Einstein was given credibility. Were the scientists
"rationalizing to fit their observations to Einstein's writings?" No, they
had to accept that Einstein had it right.
Get an education and stop embarrassing yourself.
How does my post differ? Someone (Moses) wrote in a book, like Einstein.
Science said the book was wrong. Science said time had no beginning and
they said the universe had existed forever. The Bible said something
different. But, when the scientists finally had the tools to check, they
discovered there was a "beginning". Their experiments with visual and
physical evidence affirmed the Bible. So, now it's time to give the author
who predicted the "beginning" credibility.
I've already told you, brainwashed moron. You are rationalising what
the bible says, in the light of what you imagine science has
discovered.
Demonstrate that a world-wide flood actually happened, that bats
really are birds, that there is a mountain so high all the kingdoms of
a spherical world can be seen, that the Sun really stood still in the
sky, etc.
But, you refuse to do that. Interesting. Pretty unscientific of you.
A liar as well as an idiot.
Then you say, it's possible the Big Bang theory is wrong!
But, as for now, science says time and space had a beginning.
Where does it say that, moron?
Hint: IT DOESN'T, it CONCLUDES that the universe expanded from a
singularity, and makes no claims about the nature of the singularity
or what if anything preceded it.
If you disagree with the science of our day, give your arguements.
Do I say that, liar? Hint: I don't.
The big bang is a conclusion from a process of observation and
investigation of an expanding universe.
The Bible goes further. It says "God created the heavens and the earth".
Question-begging stupidity.
That also matches what science believes. It was all created in the big
No, liar.
bang. The earth was not formed. Big Bang again agrees with what the Bible
says. Then Genesis says "let there be light". Science agrees this is the
proper sequence.
No, moron.
OK. What am I lying about?
Everything you have said.
For example science has nothing to say about God.
But once you brought it up you have to prove it as well as
demonstrating that it hand in anything outside the fantasies of your
deluded imagination.
I have never read about any scientist who disagrees with this.
Either a liar or an idiot - and most likely both.
Instead of saying I am a liar, perhaps you could give me a reference?
I have done repeatedly.
Sincerely,
You have no sincerity.

Dear James,
It's interesting how your Big Bang arguement gets dismissed by
Christopher.
And why is it Christopher has such a need to call you a liar and an idiot.
Says a lot about his objectivity.
Seems like so many of these atheists need anger management training.
The Big Bang theory is science verifying what the Bible predicted
thousands
of years before telescopes. What was once considered just a fable
(Genesis
1) is now accepted by virtually every scientist today. 50 years ago, this
guy would have gone along with the science of the day that thought time
and
space were eternal and infinite. Even believers rejected Genesis 1 as
being
the literal truth. Everyone now knows the Bible was correct.
Christopher still won't believe, even as science continues to converge to
the Biblical account. Wonder what he'll say when he learns that evolution
is not "an observed fact".
Sincerely,
Bob

The Big Bang, what caused it? If it has a cause what caused that? and
So On to the first cause which is God.
Design, evolution is a theory which is in fact in trouble this leaves
Design as the best possibility, Design implies a Designer.

Dear Christopher and Azaliah,
Come now guys. You know better than that.
Perhaps you can come up with a more scientific arguement.
Calling someone a liar is not science.
They're rationalising to try and fit the bible to the current state of
knowledge. But even then they have nothing. He has rationalised the
big bang as "let there be light", and persuaded himself that this is
what the bible is describing.
No. You apparently misunderstood.
Genesis says "In the beginning....". What could be simpler?
That's what the Big Bang theory says too - NOW - thousands of years after
the Bible said it.
It's interesting to me that you say I am "fitting the Bible to the current

The phrase "In the beginning..." does not equal the Big Bang theory.
Isn't that what scientists do?
No.
Think about Einstein. He said light would
be bent by the sun's gravity. He wrote it down in the book. Up to that

Gosh, and the Bible says "In the beginning...". You cannot be serious.
