Hmm, no i think part of it may have sorta been that way, but i said the reasons why is the conflict between accepting a concept but being told to question it all, if it seems that way it, oh well - you didn't have to read it

Belief
The only thing that will make believers out of non believers is either miracles or a recognition of the Perfection of the systems that God has set in place for us to live in. I should add that a direct communication also does the trick. Regards DL

You will be filled up with the Holy Spirit, you will be somewhat "synchronized" will Him. Then, if He's willing to contact you, you will be able to go through the following process; willed-wait-instructed-dictated-inspired-wrote-done-approved when you think you can communicate with Him this way, let me know how you feel. Hehe... approved = sometimes you will be able to ask for a miracle to occur. Alternatively, you may prophecise and He will make it come true. Sometimes, you just raise your doubts and you are going to see miracles, and "prophecies" you made unintentionally. When you encountered these, just let me know. By then, you will be able to tell me something about His characteristics. Edited by Hawkins, : No reason given. Edited by Hawkins, : No reason given. Edited by Hawkins, : No reason given.

Evidence for God can only come from God. So anything that only an omnipotent and omniscient being could do. The list is long.

So a recognition that the systems aren't perfect should lead us to what conclusion? That God doesn't exist, or that she wishes to hide her existence?

Re: Belief
She would not hide forever. I challenge you to name one imperfect system in our greater reality. Nothing personal because we all have a specific purpose assigned by God. That would not be fair. Regards DL

Re: Belief
Replecation is working. Perfection might not like this system though. I think it might bite us back. Regards DL

It may wonderfully functioning but its not perfect. You asked for an imperfect system, I gave you one.

Re: Belief
It has served us well for 30,000 years. that is perfect enough for this boy. I did say larger systems. The point has been made for our purposes here. Not being an expert on everything, if someone does come up with some one-upmanship. I wont care. Regards DL

Again, yeah it's pretty nice but it aint perfect. Nice move of the goal posts.
I did say larger systems
And the foundation of life as we know it is not a large system? Edited by DrJones*, : No reason given.
