It's been 5 years now since Yo-God! started. Now there are over 3,500 detectors all over the world, and still we have no reliable reports of dial movement. Yo, God!
Dean Booth
I have owned several god detectors for several years. I take my 11 year old daughter to churches around to town to take picture mocking religion; I bring my god detector. Not one of mine has ever moved once. The god detector is a non-deity discriminating easy to read and use tool. It also seems designed in such a manner that any god described by all religions that I am aware of should know how to use it.
From the site:
quote:
Can the Yo-God God Detector show us anything about God?
Yes, to some degree, it can. On the more practical side, it can make it more reasonable to construe unusual events as simple oddities rather than as supernatural communication. Imagine if all the Romainian prisoners (see above) had their own Yo-God God Detectors. They would certainly be less likely to attribute the turnip's shape to intentional Divine intervention ” after all, why would God go to the trouble of reconfiguring a turnip's DNA when He could send a clearer message by moving a tiny dial?
To answer the question on a more theoretical level, we need time to collect enough data. On the bottom of each God Detector are instructions to report any movement of the detector's dial. After several years ” once there are thousands of God Detectors around the world ” we should have some indication of what percentage of God Detectors have registered movement.
If, for example, analysis of the reports indicate that the dials of 93% of the detectors have moved, it would be strong evidence that some spiritual force exists.
On the other hand, the Yo-God God Detectors can't prove that God doesn't exist. If none or only a very few detector dials have been reported to have moved, we can conclude only that God does not want to reveal Himself, that He cannot move the dial, or that he doesn't know about the detectors. These results do, however, present challenges for the standard interpretation of God's nature ” that he is all-loving, all-powerful, and all-knowing.
God detectors have been mailed free of charge to people around the globe where miracles have been reported.
god interacts with us humans daily. It reads out minds, it sees what we do, it talks to us and we talk to it through a special communication method known as prayer. Examples god interacts with us:

* http://www.wwltv.com/...ies/wwl063009cbmiracle.2216506f.html
* Forbidden - here is a compilation
* Boston.com: Local breaking news, sports, weather, and things to do
* http://www.guideposts.com/ - This well known gem is well... Well known
GODS do interact with us daily. We have hundreds of thousands possibly tens of millions of accounts. Many religions have special teams of trained & qualified pastors(men of science) to verify the miracles are not a hoaxes. Hundreds if not thousands have been verified by these professionals at the catholic church.
Not one Yo-God Detector has moved one inch. The Templeton Foundation study failed miserably. I have presented information that shows religious people know their god has the power to impact, change or stop events on earth. One can conclude god is not hiding his presence. Gods openly communicated with men only a few thousand years ago. Gods openly interacted with humans in human or ghostly form a few thousand years ago. Hell in the bible Jesus used a cloud as an elevator in front of many and just... just ... well floated off somewhere.
Gods are not shy. So, why have they not moved the detector. The only logical conclusion is they are impotent, ignorant or not real.
My question is how is this not acceptable evidence which demonstrates god is not real. If not moved to that conclusion obviously this demonstrates it is weak, impotent or just stupid, right?

Not looking good
My impression is - a lot of blather.
From the site:
Out of some sort of curiosity, how about a link to that site?
Then we can pursue the possible promotion of this topic.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source
