If you'd like to discuss anything in that article in more detail to see why that is the case (or, indeed anything else you feel is evidence for God), I'd be happy to discuss it.
I agree with the article and you disagree... discussion has already ended ...

Nothing there to show God exists. Armchair philosophy, confirmation of some scriptural history, and the beliefs and behaviour of a bunch of people are not evidence for the existence of God. And big bang theory says nothing at all about the creation of the universe. Simply saying that these things 'demonstrate the existence of God' doesn't make it true.

Anything, as in something specific.
Not another gish.

Good, but next time maybe dont even start?
My job is to tell people the truth... which according to God 'IS' His Word! Now surely you don't think you have control over that.

That's my point ... God has said that all people by just beginning in His creation are without excuse for knowing that He 'IS'
Does God exist? | GotQuestions.org

God claims the Bible as His Word; even thought men have had part in it's formation... so to attack the Bible is to attack God! OR better to claim the Bible is in error is to say God's Word is not fully truth

John 17:14 (KJV)
[14] I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
[16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
[17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
[18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
[19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
[20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

That's not 'discussion'. If you're not prepared to discuss what you post, maybe a discussion forum is not the appropriate place to post it...

Just suggesting you dont enter a debate forum
to preach and refuse to discuss.

As for truth, I see no reason to doubt you believe
that your personally selected version of one
similarly chosen religious system is " the Truth".

You mean like putting someone on IGNORE?

How about you take your own advice?

You are a very tempting candidate. If other people didn't reply to you (such that I only see their replies, which is weird), then ...

Sorry to hear that.

Perhaps other people like to learn?

All I'm saying though is, don't put someone on IGNORE, then whine that someone refuses to discuss something with you.

Well, in that case, you definitely should start. ;)

which according to God 'IS' His Word!

What is the truth according to you?

Now surely you don't think you have control over that.

Certainly not -- trademark infringement, and all that.

God defines the universe,
the Bible defines God,
the fundamentalists define the Bible.

Nice neat little package there, ennit?

I studied the Bible intensely by use of hermeneutics and have found it to be self evident truth that fits in the framework of life here and now...

The Bible is True because I know the Bible is True.

Would you like to try again, without the circular reasoning?

The Bible is true because God said It is true.
