Thread: Can you make a case for a God...

I have entered intoa debate, where someone has hoped for proof of a negative...which I understand is impossible. Nevertheless, my intent is to provide enough data to at least, make the Idea of a biblical God unacceptable in any logical mind...as my opponent has yet to create this thread.

Here it Is...have at it Amigo

I'm looking forward to this debate since these types of discussions are always fruitful and good natured.

Regardless of the meaning behind this...I think the intent can rise above the issues you point out.

My apologies...please delete

I don't think it should be deleted, it was already moved .

That being said, I am a spiritual person who is agnostic. As a fan of Star Trek I like the logical reasoning of the Vulcan's that say that if you can't prove something doesn't exist, then it is still in the realm of possibly existing.

So where I come to my conundrum is the "big bang theory", and if it started with one point of singularity, where the hell did the point of singularity come from? Where did all this mass come from. Then if you come to the conclusion that god created it, can it be possible that we have to consider where god came from?

The old adage about proving a negative wasn't proving a negative. It was disproving a negative accusation. Once accused the person or ideology is forever branded by the accusation even when proven innocent or not guilty.

there seems to be a misdirection taking place socially about that, wonder why?

Oops, sorry didn't see the mod warning.

No, I can't.

It seems to me very easy to understand how the concept developed out of ritual dances and the like in a non-scientific world, and how it then became some sort of guarantee of the ultimate worth of what was felt to be better behaviour (to stick to its more admirable consequences). I think that, now, apart possibly from a few mystics whose experience is special, it is an inherited concept which good boys and girls feel they ought to defend because they loved their parents. That is all very admirable, but if we were starting from scratch I don't think the idea would occur to us.

Don't worry, nobody can, no matter how much they might wish or claim otherwise.
