Is it wrong to demand evidence?

So I need to accept your conclusion, and then the evidence for your conclusion will magically make itself apparent?

No, Yahweh will reveal Himself to you once you accept He created, and search for Him.

This is where the merry go round will stop, again, unless you present an understanding of what I'm saying.


You haven't given me a reason to think that a Creator is necessary.

I accept that you don't see the Universe, as evidence of a Creator. That's your choice.

Then stop spinning the merry-go-around and speak plainly. What you stated sounds suspiciously like confirmation bias.

It's not so much a choice as it relates to the fact that you've given no convincing reason for why I should believe that the universe requires a Creator, much less one by the name of Yahweh.

Well yes you could assume that, and I of you, of course.

It's up to you, what you accept as evidence or not, and the veracity of it; as per any jury member.

I think you may be looking for confirmation that your choice is a good one; maybe you will be best to get that from another non believer.

You seem to misunderstand the nature of my nonbelief. I don't believe in deities and I see no reason to posit one (or many) to account for the universe. You do, which is why I'm inviting you to provide a good reason to believe that the universe requires a Creator God whose identity is Yahweh.

So far as positing the non necessity of a diety, is certainly confirmation bias, when looking at the evidence. You should start by accepting there is one if you want to proceed.

I provided reasons, you don't accept them as good, suma suma. Would you like me to repeat the reasons that I accept the Universe is evidence of a Creator ?

Oh and have you noticed the growing investigation into the DNA coded sequences that many scientists have trouble interpreting, at this stage, insofar as it's evolutionary implications. It's a very interesting research. Also the LHC is about to be refired investigating dark matter this also has creator implications, if you're will to posit one, of course.

You are asking me to adopt your confirmation bias, which is different from giving me a reason to believe as you do.

I provided reasons, you don't accept them as good, suma suma. Would you like me to repeat the reasons that I accept the Universe is evidence of a Creator ?

Go ahead.

What implications precisely?
