"God" is not a reasonable response to any question requiring evidence

We have a standing joke here:

Q: Why do boats on Lake Erie have glass bottoms?
A: So they can see the British flags.
We only chased the British across the Canadian Boarder. It was the French we chased all the way up to Quebec and all the way down the river to New Orleans. The French were giving guns and whiskey to the American Indians to trade for Furs. What a wonderful combination that was. The British troops were just here to collect taxes. It was not like they had any other interest in America.

No, it isn't.
Really, perhaps you would like to explain to us how science works. Are you saying we should believe whatever poppycock you come up with even if your not able to produce any evidence to back up what your saying?

If your looking for a subjective experience perhaps you would enjoy reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" or "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds". That could be a popular read for what we consider to be subjective. Of course you can always use the test of time, like we read in our Bible. You will come and go and perhaps no one will have ever heard of you. But the Bible continues to go on and be one of the most widely read and studied books in the world. The Bible pretty much speaks for itself. What do you have to verify what your say has any merit at all? You will turn to dust, yet the living word of God goes on forever.

'Most others'?
You know the wolf pack that gathers here to try to single out christians.

Wolves May Not Need to be Smart to Hunt in Packs | 80beats | Discover Magazine

"Wolves have been observed working together to ambush a prey animal, leading researchers to consider whether they are displaying foresight, planning, and other signs of impressive smarts. But new work suggests that as long as each wolf obeys a couple simple rules, the seemingly complex behavior emerges naturally, without any need for higher intelligence."

Evidence is independently verifiable. That is what makes it evidence rather than hearsay.

I'd be happy if they just cover science better.

I'll go over it again.

Matter & Energy does not just appear out of nowhere.
So God can't just exist. Oh right, God isn't matter or energy. He's "spirit" whatever that is. And he's eternal. Never appeared out of nowhere he just is. Your answer to what you think happened is more unlikely than anything I've heard proposed by scientists.

Once it does, if it does not move until acted upon.
Ok...

If it does move, it has no way to become "life".
Sure it does.

Once it does that, there is no reason or method to become intelligent.
Sure it does.

If you disagree, then everything you see is a natural event. Why complain about creationists? They are part of nature.
Because they make claims that have been refuted and they still insist their claims are valid.

In 32 AD His son, The Truth, did show up.
Nah. A man was around then. You call him by his Greek name, Jesus. Capitalizing "Truth" doesn't make it any more relevant to the topic.

Since then, especially in this last century, the Truth has been established in many disciplines, especially Science.
Since then, especially in the last century, the truth has been established in many disciplines, especially science. And it's shown religion to be wrong again and again.

We can now unlock the sealed Book and support what is said with Science Facts.
Nuts.

Really, perhaps you would like to explain to us how science works.

What has happened since the development and use o The scientific Method is that what one person might have subjective reported as a fact can now be experienced by everyone who sets up the same experimental procedures.

For the first time we have established that Truth can be manifested because everyone is privy to the acts at hand.

This establishes the existence of one Reality for us all, and a capability for each of us to image that Reality in our mind as the model, Truth.



REALITY IS OUT HERE...



... TRUTH IS INSIDE THE ARK OF THE SKULL...

You've had that done numerous times and you still prattle on.

Are you saying we should believe whatever poppycock you come up with even if your not able to produce any evidence to back up what your saying?
If I can't produce any evidence then it isn't scientific.

All the books you mentioned, including the Bible, are fiction.

You will turn to dust, yet the living word of God goes on forever.
The priests of Zeus and Mithras and Ra all said the same thing.

The 'truth', or just 'religion'?

If we look at the definition of religion.

James 1:27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
James 2:1
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

So, religion is based on Love, and that is the truth. God is Love.

And the people in Africa who die of starvation, is that also proof of God?

Thats proof of the unjust. We are witness of this.

We are to love our neighbor as ourself. This is what Love(God) teaches us. The Maker has provided us with enough so that every human is satisfied.

Jesus taught of this.
Luke 16:19 thru 31

And if you don't love this invisible God you will be killed, thank God there's no God.

God is Love. God loves each and everyone of us very much.

Luke 10:27
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

If you destroy your neighbour, then you destroy yourself.
God is perfect.

I've asked this before but I'll ask it again, what is the difference between invisible and not being there at all?

To not exist is to not exist.

The presence of the Lord is known to all those that believe with a pure heart, sincerly. Christ says to lift Him up and you will know. Be very observant in the days to come. Incline your heart to that which is good. Be thankful to God, the one watching over you, and resist not, the pure joy, regardless of how much or little. It is a very personal love, He knows each and everyone of us better than we know ourselves. If you are truely seeking the truth, test the word, humble yourself and ask God to forgive you of anything contrary to His will of Love. For he that humbles himself shall be exalted, and he that exalts himself will be abased. Pray for the Spirit of God, you have nothing to fear, the wicked one can not prevail against you. This is a battle, we are victorious. Recognize the presence of God. Galatians 5:16 thru 26
