That is tough luck for you. God says in His Word that you already without excuse of knowing His existence by the creation.

Those are the words of men.

As I said, the evidence for God is all around you. The beauty and wonder of creation.

How is that evidence?


That's like finding a farm and making the claim that the book "Animal Farm" must be true simply because you found a farm.

What next? Are the Harry Potter books real because those books mention London, and London turns out to be a real place?

I have presented the evidence several times on various forums.

The strength of the evidence is so poor that you won't even defend it.

No. You are an atheist because you choose to be an atheist by willfully ignoring the things of God.

What things?

No it's not. The Bible is the Word of God. The evidence is overwhelming. I created a thread on the evidences for God's Word, but only believers can view that thread. I will have to repost that thread in a non-Christian section here at CF for you to see. But I am not expecting it to change your mind, though.

Why post supposed evidence that you will then refuse to defend?

For one, the Bible does not regard itself as a work of fiction like a Harry Potter book. Two, the chances that unique geology lines up with the events in Scripture is impressive because if the story was lying in some way, then there would be things that would be slightly off. Three, there are other evidences in other categories of study that back up God's Word. You obviously are ignoring the one's I posted because you want to see what you want to see.

Because it is like trying to convince a die hard close minded flat Earther. If they are going to believe the Earth is flat despite the overwhelming evidence, then they are not going to accept what anyone else has to say. In your case, the only thing that can open your mind to the truth is Jesus Christ.

I will post the evidences for the Bible on a blog page (at another time).
I am kind of busy now.
But when I do post them on a blog page (with no comments), I will leave you to either accept or reject those evidences as they stand.
For I believe the evidences speak for themselves and do not need any kind of debate or defense. They stand all on their own. If you do not accept that, then too bad.

So every single non-Christian, according to you, is akin to a "diehard close-minded flat earther"?

You won't even defend what you call evidence. Some of it is so preposterous that it is laughable. You find a split rock and you try to tie it to a story in the Bible. Do you understand how ridiculous that is?

No it doesn't. Not knowing their atmospheric properties, or exact size, or temperature, or magnetic field does not mean that there's a zero chance of them supporting life.

In Genesis God created the heavens and the EARTH (singular). This means that there are no other Earths out there. Sorry to let you down there folks. God and His Word are still true.

Thankfully exoplanet researchers are not bound to stop all inquiry on such claims.

Would you defend how the Earth is round if you already written down every piece of evidence for how the Earth is round to a flat Earther? If you presented your case with lots of evidences, chances are a few added words in defense of what you said is not going to change their mind anymore than when they seen your evidences.

What passes for "science" these days is just laughable. They can not say anything meaningful about something 39 light years away. It's just not possible. But, they can speculate enough to keep the money rolling in, so that's a plus.
This is anti-intellectual hucksterism that leads to the sneering and degradation of culture, arts and scientific inquiry.

But Harry Potter is actual history. London proves it.

Two, the chances that unique geology lines up with the events in Scripture is impressive because if the story was lying in some way, then there would be things that would be slightly off.

You seriously don't see the problem with this claim?

If I described an event where I magically lifted 500 tons with just left arm, would you believe that story if I also accurately described the geology of the area where I lifted 500 tons with one arm?

Three, there are other evidences in other categories of study that back up God's Word. You obviously are ignoring the one's I posted because you want to see what you want to see.

Ignoring it? Some of the stuff gave me best laughs I have had in a while. The part where Adam and Eve are supposed to be real people simply because the human genome is diploid was really laughable.

Out of curiosity, do you believe you are equally closed-minded?

This is unbelievably arrogant. You literally believe up to 67% of the world are like flat earthers.
If you look at the insinuations about other Christians they make, regarding evolution, it seems to be a lot higher then 67%.

I have admitted when I was wrong before even to Eternal Security Proponents (Who are my most heated adversaries). So no. I would not say I am close minded. I would say that I cannot unlearn what I know. Can you unlearn that the Earth is round? Surely not.
