• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What specific tangible evidence could we present to you evidence-demanders of the existence of God?

And by specific, I mean specific.

And by tangible, I mean tangible.

And by evidence, I mean evidence.

And by "could we present to you," I mean "could we present to you."

It has to have weight, shape, color, be either quantifiable or fungible, pass peer review, and qualify as forensic if need be.

Go.

It has nothing to do with the 5 senses. It has much to do with new insights and understanding and it is wordless..

I reckon something along the lines of Elijah vs the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings would be a start.

Maybe a while ago, but today???

IMO, if there was a God, he would have already provided objective evidence that he existed.

If he is capable of what the bible claims, why wouldn't he provide this evidence and make it clear he was real?
Like, say, walking among us ... healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons, feeding 5000 with a two piece fish dinner?

If those things could be confirmed with more than a man made book, they would have greater credibility.

According to various books of ancient time, Heracles, the son of Zeus, also walked the earth and did some amazing stuff. Arguably more amazing then the things Jesus did. Is this evidence for the greek pantheon?

Since I assume the credibility rating for God among evidence demanders is currently zero, I would assume anything would constitute "greater credibility."

This challenge is not about "greater credibility" though.

It is about rock-solid, convincing evidence.

Is your God capable of providing that evidence?

If one is honest with themselves. God will be honest with them and will communicate with them. God sees our souls and He sees those that need to be cleansed which few hunger and thirst for.

This thread is about you guys.

It is time for you guys to tell us what will convince you; rather than play the hit-and-miss game where we say something and you guys argue it down.

I'm asking you what we can present to you that fits the criteria of the OP.

You guys seem to be a little stymied for some reason.

Maybe now you'll stop asking for evidence ... since you wouldn't recognize it anyway -- eh?

Don't fall for this, Louise.

They're desperate to change the focus of my challenge and keep the questions on their side.

It's not gonna happen.
