Dear readers, in particular atheists here, I like to bring to your attention that existence is the default status of things in the totality of reality.
Most of what can be imagined, and plenty that can't (such as a square circle) doesn't exist, so this is incorrect.

Now, look up with google the word existence, see below in ANNEX, and ask yourself, Has there ever been nothing or non-existence as the default status of the totality of the reality of things?
The purple spotted blerplenutter
Keeps stealing my peanut butter
Grabbing with its orange claws
Crushing jars with its toothy jaws
It's wings are made of yellow cloud
The eyes hidden by a silver shroud
It's default status is "does not exist"
So as the thief, it is dismissed.


Can you, Oh atheists here, even make sense of the statement, Non-existence is the default status of things in the totality of reality?
Nah, because what is part of reality does exist, "the things in the totality of reality", by definition of being in reality. However, the default status of most concepts (and things that have never been thought) is that they aren't part of our reality to begin with. Deities exist in our imaginations, but there is a lack of evidence that they have any physicality to them. That is to say, things are not a part of reality (and thus, real) by default. In fact, it is the opposite: the existence of something has to be supported by evidence, not the nonexistence of it.

You see, existence is the evidence for the existence of God, in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.
You'd have to demonstrate deities exist before assigning them any role within or pertaining to the universe we reside in. You can't just assume they exist, because you personally view them as necessary. Even if you demonstrated flawlessly that there was a "creator cause and operator cause of the universe and everything with a beginning", that wouldn't make that cause a deity, or even the same item for the various beginnings.

Dear readers of this thread, on How to prove God exists, out of curiosity I looked up with google the following two phrases:

theists seek psychiatrists’ help
atheists seek psychiatrists’ help

And this is what google turns up, in ANNEX ONE for theists, and ANNEX TWO for atheists [see below in next from me]:

Google: theists seek psychiatrists’ help
About 446,000 results (0.48 seconds)

Google: atheists seek psychiatrists’ help
About 1,290,000 results (0.58 seconds)

So, what does that mean?

That you're really, really bad at argumentation? And that the number of hits from a Google search prove absolutely nothing at all?

Christians seek psychiatrists’ help
4,890,000 results (0.94 seconds)

Muslims seek psychiatrists’ help
2,640,000 results (0.85 seconds)

Okay, dear everyone here including atheists, you know babies exist?

I agree babies exist.

Anyway, they are evidence of God existing in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

I disagree with this premise. The existence of a new born has no bearing on the existence/non-existence of a creator deity.

At this point, do you want to discuss infinite regress?

Nope, but I'd be willing to discuss LUCA, abiogenesis, the history of biological development and the biological history of sex with you.

Dear everyone reading this thread, I thank you for your presence, it is most gratifying.

Now, this morning I thought I might consult my No. 1 research source – read that internet - and also with the internet some good and quick polling of mankind with an opinion as to get some exposure in the internet.

As I am now asking atheists to tell me whether they know about the reality of causation, I looked up these two phrases:

theists and causation
atheists and causation

See in ANNEXES below on the hits found by google, in my next post.

I will just here give you the stats.

theists and causation
About 1,080,000 results (0.49 seconds)

atheists and causation
About 104,000 results (0.40 seconds)

So, as I know already, atheists are allergic to causation, and like Russell their mentor in the devious art of self-obfuscation and self-obscurantism, they would rather explain away causation, but they forget that all science which has to do with engineering and technology, it is all causation.

[Quote from Pachomius]
Copleston: It may be that the scientist doesn't hope to obtain more than probability, but in raising the question he assumes that the question of explanation has a meaning. But your general point then, Lord RusseII, is that it's illegitimate even to ask the question of the cause of the world?

Russell:
Yes, that's my position.


Copleston: If it's a question that for you has no meaning, it's of course very difficult to discuss it, isn't it?

Russell: Yes, it is very difficult. What do you say -- SHALL WE PASS ON TO SOME OTHER ISSUE? [Upper case courtesy of Pachomius]
[End of quote from Pachomius]


Okay, I will now go and see what atheists have for their attitude toward causation, is it a reality or what.

In the meantime, you can read my next post which is the reproduction of google’s hits on the two phrases:

theists and causation
atheists and causation

Please read my next post for the hits of google on theists and causation, and atheists and causation.

I have not seen any atheists here explaining why he has seen no evidence for God existing, instead there is one comment here that the chain of causation does not seem to lead from babies as evidence to the existence of God, in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

So, let us do it this way, you and I ask each other a question, and we will reciprocally and respectively answer the question as we ask it.

Dear atheists here, I don’t see any of you answering to my question on whether you know of the reality of causation.

See text above from me, which I put in bold and in capital case.

So, please, atheists, let us be systematic, I ask and you ask, we from both sides reciprocally interacting with question and answer, and it is about at this point in time, causation as evidence of God existing in concept as first and foremost:

The creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

I am asking you the question, Do you know the reality of causation?

Please answer.

Silence from you means that you are into your Russell’s taught trick of arbitrary taboo and phobia from dealing with causation, by not daring to take up the concept and reality of causation: like as with babies and the nose in our face, they did not cause themselves but were brought into existence by a chain of causes, ultimately from God in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

Okay, tomorrow I expect to read your answer to my question, Do you know the reality of causation?

One last word before I leave you guys.

Let us just talk about babies, as also about the nose in our face, both are accessible to us.

Keep to the realm of objective reality outside and independent of the conceptual realm in our mind.

So, to the question to atheists, Do you know about the reality of causation: if you don't know, please do not answer at all, just first get to know about causation by asking your papa and mama who gave you birth, to explain what is causation in regard to babies.

Now, if still you can't understand the reality of causation, then please no longer read this thread, because you are not even eligible to be present in an internet forum, since as you cannot understand from your papa and mama, what is causation in re babies, you are simply not eligible to be here or anywhere else where people talk about issues at all.

Dear readers: all of you reading this thread even though not all of you are contributing your thoughts to the thread, on How to prove God exists – thank you just the same, it is most gratifying to me, the author of this thread, on How to prove God exists.

Now, this morning I am again consulting my No. 1 most easy and quickest research field which is the internet as accessed by me with google.

And the subject of my research today with google are the two following phrases:

talk sense with a theist
talk sense with an atheist

You must be wondering why I am doing research on talking sense with a theist and talking sense with an atheist.

It is because I have been talking with atheists and I find them to be more and more conspicuous: that they are into self-obfuscation and self-obscurantism in regard to the question God exists or not.

And on the other hand, I find theists to talk with a non-partisan objective of disclosing their honest and sincere and well-thought out ideas on God existing, in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man an everything with a beginning.

Okay, so what have I found out about talking sense with a theist and talking sense with an atheist?

I will give you now the stats of hits from google, you can read the first page each of hits from google in my next post here after the present one, in ANNEXES there, in regard to talking sense with theists and talking sense with atheists.

So, here are the stats:

talk sense with a theist
About 1,380,000 results (0.64 seconds)

talk sense with an atheist
About 390,000 results (0.65 seconds)

The way I see the stats, to me it is obvious that atheists talk nonsense owing to their obsession with self-obfuscation and self-obscurantism on the issue God exists or not, while theists talk sense, period.

I will now go and see in the new posts in this thread on How to prove God exists, whether atheists have answered my question on do they know about the reality of causation.

And I am disappointed that Michael, a fellow theist, is not interacting with me when I want him to do so, interacting wit me on reason, intelligence, and observation, or more expansively on truths, facts, logic, and the history of ideas – instead of dwelling on verbose but irrelevant erudition - if that be erudition - with atheists who are also into the same verbose but irrelevant erudition - if they be into any erudition at all, for all their self-inured self-obfuscation and self-obscurantism.

Please read the ANNEXES in the post from me following the present one.

In the meantime I will go and read what atheists or whether they have answered my simple question to them, DO YOU OH ATHEISTS KNOW OF THE REALITY OF CAUSATION?

Well, I have read the posts coming after my last post of yesterday, and here is my request to atheists yesterday prior to ending my session in CF forum:
"DO YOU ATHEISTS KNOW ABOUT THE REALITY OF CAUSATION?"

Yesterday at 5:49 AM #1428 Pachomius wrote

[…]

So, let us do it this way, you and I ask each other a question, and we will reciprocally and respectively answer the question as we ask it.

I WILL ASK THE FIRST QUESTION TO ATHEISTS:

DO YOU ATHEISTS KNOW ABOUT THE REALITY OF CAUSATION?


See you guys all again tomorrow.

[…]

So, please, atheists, let us be systematic, I ask and you ask, we from both sides reciprocally interacting with question and answer, and it is about at this point in time, causation as evidence of God existing in concept as first and foremost:

The creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

I am asking you the question, Do you know the reality of causation?

Please answer.

Silence from you means that you are into your Russell’s taught trick of arbitrary taboo and phobia from dealing with causation, by not daring to take up the concept and reality of causation: like as with babies and the nose in our face, they did not cause themselves but were brought into existence by a chain of causes, ultimately from God in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

Okay, tomorrow I expect to read your answer to my question, Do you know the reality of causation?

So, to the question to atheists, Do you know about the reality of causation: if you don't know, please do not answer at all, just first get to know about causation by asking your papa and mama who gave you birth, to explain what is causation in regard to babies.

Now, if still you can't understand the reality of causation, then please no longer read this thread, because you are not even eligible to be present in an internet forum, since as you cannot understand from your papa and mama, what is causation in re babies, you are simply not eligible to be here or anywhere else where people talk about issues at all.

Thanks for your interaction, dear posters here, and also everyone reading this thread, on How to prove God exists.

I have not seen any atheists here explaining why he has seen no evidence for God existing, instead there is one comment here that the chain of causation does not seem to lead from babies as evidence to the existence of God, in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

Dear atheists here, I don’t see any of you answering to my question on whether you know of the reality of causation.

See text above from me, which I put in bold and in capital case.

One last word before I leave you guys.

Let us just talk about babies, as also about the nose in our face, both are accessible to us.

Keep to the realm of objective reality outside and independent of the conceptual realm in our mind.

So, to the question to atheists, Do you know about the reality of causation: if you don't know, please do not answer at all, just first get to know about causation by asking your papa and mama who gave you birth, to explain what is causation in regard to babies.

Dear everyone reading this thread, this morning I came upon two items in the internet which are very interesting in regard to my knowledge of God existing, in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

The first one is from a Christian theist blogger on the ten most repeated arguments of atheists against God, which arguments he takes to be very silly.

The second one is about the decision from the Federal Supreme Court of the US allowing a town council meeting to start with a prayer to God, God as known in philosophy, but not any God in a religion, in particular of concern to atheists, of the Christian faith.

I will just present the ten arguments most repeated by atheists and the decision of the US Supreme Court allowing for prayer in a town legislative body, in starting their law-making work.

Let you readers think on them, and tomorrow I will have more to say about these two items.

See all you guys again tomorrow, and please dear atheists do not neglect to tell me whether you know that causation is a component of the reality of existence.

Top 10 Most Common Atheist Arguments, and Why They Fail

From Eric Hyde's Blog
Top 10 Most Common Atheist Arguments, and Why They Fail

1. There is no evidence for God’s existence.

2. If God created the universe, who created God?

3. God is not all-powerful if there is something He cannot do. God cannot lie, therefore God is not all-powerful.

4. Believing in God is the same as believing in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

5. Christianity arose from an ancient and ignorant people who didn’t have science.

6. Christian’s only believe in Christianity because they were born in a Christian culture. If they’d been born in India they would have been Hindu instead.

7. The gospel doesn’t make sense: God was mad at mankind because of sin so he decided to torture and kill his own Son so that he could appease his own pathological anger. God is the weirdo, not me.

8. History is full of mother-child messiah cults, trinity godheads, and the like. Thus the Christian story is a myth like the rest.

9. The God of the Bible is evil. A God who allows so much suffering and death can be nothing but evil.

10. Evolution has answered the question of where we came from. There is no need for ignorant ancient myths anymore.

Town legislature can start work with a prayer to God

Town of Greece v. Galloway - Wikipedia
Town of Greece v. Galloway, 572 U.S. ___ (2014), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the court decided that the Town of Greece, New York may permit volunteer chaplains to open each legislative session with a prayer.[2][3] The plaintiffs were Susan Galloway and Linda Stephens, represented by Americans United for Separation of Church and State.[4] They argue that the prayers violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled against the town, and on May 20, 2013 the Supreme Court agreed to rule on the issue.[5] On May 5, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of the Town of Greece, and that the town's practice of beginning legislative sessions with prayers does not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.[6]
