I don't believe in God, I believe in Gravity

all im saying is that belief need not be required to rest on evidence. It can stand alone...subjectively.

I never refer to God as X because I believe that He has touched me.....appropriately of course

Interesting discussion You preface the statement with "lets say". Thus...between you and I..the tape exists...but nobody else knows about it.

An agnostic may well call "it" X.An atheist would only see a blank sheet of paper and would ask us why we are calling nothing anything.

There is one who knows exactly what you think and how. He knows you better than you know yourself. End of story.You can plug your ears, laugh, or angrily attack me for expressing my belief on this forum.Furthermore, you have no idea of how ignorant I am. It would be wise of you, however, to explain why you think I am wrong rather than rant. If you choose to participate, that is

The Bible was and is metaphorical and symbolic. It is not a science book nor was it ever intended to be one. It is quite a decent psychology primer, however. People behaving badly.The creative metaphor is light. Im sure that super novas fit within this metaphor quite well...as does the process of illumination...the light bulb that goes on over our heads when we think of something new.Edited by Phat, : No reason given.

Do you believe that GOD does nothing in your life currently? (Either by way of the Holy Spirit or by way of speaking through others?)I am assuming that you are going to ask "how" He does this....and "how" you would know.

You are saying that your would "test" God once He was proven, and yet you are confidant that your Deity of choice---science--will forever insulate you from having to be accountable.As a believer, I dont like being accountable either...its that inner nature of mine that wants to be "in control" and independent.I suppose this post will get another negative rantfrom Theodoric...who claims I know nothing about how atheists think.I can never challenge him, however, since he and others like you refuse to even care about why I think the way I do. God bless all of you anyway.

Humans cannot define the impossible. We cannot declare anything to be impossible, since at best we have but theories.

We cannot say either way. There were eyewitnesses, but the stories may have changed.

Personally, of course I believe. My opinions on the matter is that truth is truth regardless of who believes or acknowledges it as such. God created humanity long before we even had the wisdom to believe...or doubt...or declare the impossibility of His existence.

I believe it. You don't. Technically I cant say I know it(except in my heart) Neither do you.

Of course. I probably baffle myself sometimes, and jumped into the conversation on a lark. I suppose that my original point was that we humans cannot clearly define what is and is not impossible. We can only verify what is possible.

You resist the verification. Your resistance makes it "impossible" for you.
