Well, at that point I was addressing the historical fallibility of man's misplaced faith in scripture. The bible was picked as an example that most westerners would at least be more familiar with. 🙂Similar methods can be applied to pretty much all scripture in all religions, I was just drilling on the 'nearest' one to most folks here, I guess for communication's sake..
While I appreciate that, disproving any scripture does not disprove existence of God.

This is your third post, you use lots of similes, and you hit every single long destroyed argument for God in a single post.Hi Whirly.
Smiling makes me happy. Seeing smiling also makes me happy 😛 There is not enough smiling in this thread so I thought I would work on the void some.
I am not Whirly. I have posted on the forum before but because of a misunderstanding my previous account was banned. I was given permission to make a new account by the moderator Peach after the misunderstanding was solved and I have now returned 🙂 In one of my first three posts this was mentioned.
I was hoping I would get some thoughts on my post though and not on my identity. I think I should interpret your post as you thinking it was a contribution 😕
Well it turning up and displaying supernatural powers under controlled condition testing would do it, for me.
Maybe suddenly creating a new star system in from of us from nothing..?
Raising people from the dead, Parting seas at will with no technology doing it etc You know the kinda stuff that various religions had takes on.
And to have us understand perfectly how this was all done.
Something of that magnitude would impress the shit out of me..
I mean I guess you could still argue that being would not necessarily be the originator of the universe, but i'd actually be WAY less certain than I feel now.
You are asking for miracles. We are not miracle makers 😛 We are mere mortals believing in a greater power. It is the greater power that does all those things and I am fairly certain he has better things to do than to impress non-believers that probably will doubt his work anyway 🙂
We humans can not make supernatural things happen. I wish to Heaven we could. We just can't 😛 You are asking more of religion than you would for anything in the realm of science though. Thought about that?
Nope. Im not asking you to do miracle (Suspending the natural laws in the universe), but this god thing to do it.
I dont believe in it. Thats which is real is still there whether or not you are actively believing in it or not...and requires no worship to function.
Nope. Ive already said that if it was to show up and do something like the above things, I listed, and we were able to confirm the validity, that would go a long way to impressing me.
I know.. 'nothing can' is what Im saying is most likely..
Nope. Not true science would be the verification process that if anything would go some way to proving it is what it is.
Yeah I thought of that and I disagree, Pinkie.
What all powerful being would fear being known?
Science actually has rapidly started giving up the secrets of the universe, and its way more.
You are asking us for proof. The proof you want is in the form of miracles. You are asking us for miracles 😛 If nothing short of a miracle suffice for you and you know that we can not preform this. Why do you even ask the question? You know we can not answer it in a way that is pleasing to you 🙂
God has nothing to prove to you. You have been presented his potential existence and refused it. You do not doubt, you do not plead ignorance. You refuse the possibility of God. Why should his presence grace you when there are those who need and those who want him?
If you do not believe in him, what reason does he have to believe in you? 🙂

You have the best sig/avvy combo I have ever seen.

Cept if it's the later, there's no "powerful display" to be had in the first place, as something nonexistent (eg make believe) is just that.

Not the point. I can murder 900,000,000 in the name of The Great Purple Mitzatusuesfsa; doesn't mean that being/entity/force is actually real just cos I did something under its name/cause or believe it to be real.
