“Empirical evidence is essential for scientific endeavors. Science would be impossible without it. Empirical observation, however, is not the all-determining factor as to what is real and what is not real.” Indeed! Empirical observation only makes up a portion of proving a theory or making a hypothesis fact. Any college kid knows this and even every college professor would tell you this. What you don’t always hear about is how science came into existence! Without getting into much of a history lesson, almost every single form of science came from….wait for it….philosophy! Philosophy is the root origin of many sciences we have today. So why is that important to know? It’s important because philosophy, to this day, still argues and debates that which is unreal or theoretic. Philosophy also points out things that are rational to accept but are not finite. For example, love, anger, beauty, and infidelity are all intangible yet universally accepted. So why is it universally accepted to believe in what we understand as anger, passion, and love and yet illogical to believe that a God is also intangible yet exists just as these emotions do? As a consequence, atheists ought to consider the possibility that they have a very limited worldview. This worldview forcefully removes the very existence of God, which is omniscient and omnipotent, in order to satisfy the criteria that there is simply no God! In other words, they have to believe that God does not exist in order to fit into their limited worldview. It’s simply an insufficient methodology of belief that also requires empirical evidence for belief….which they don’t have. So it begs the question, where is their proof? Where is their empirical evidence? The conclusion is this: Wrong methodology will ALWAYS yield wrong conclusions. This is science. This is the very thing that atheists must invest faith in yet drives them in circles with unanswered questions. But as Christians, we have the answer. His name is Jesus Christ and God is the Father and LORD of all the heavens and the earth.
Empirical evidence is the crux of this whole thread. Evolution is still very much a theory and the more science advances, the more questions are raised about the origins of the universe and the complexities of the finite things within this physical world we live in.
"ask any animal who is not vegetarian whether death can sustain life."
A dismal rebuttal because we go back to the case in point....where did that animal come from?
I also noticed that the argument for the Lego set being miraculous put together after a near infinite attempts of throwing it up in the air and landing in perfect order went unanswered. This is fine considering atheists will almost always throw the argument back on the Christian to prove the existence of God. We give unbelievers an answer and it just doesn't suffice. When asked to have faith, they only believe in empirical evidence which then causes me state the aforementioned, in the beginning of this response. As Christians, we already have faith and trust in the infallibility of the Word of God. As an atheist, you must prove there is NO God. Ready. Set. Go!
You simply cannot prove the lack of existence of God. You'd essentially have to be God to say there is no God. Because unless you can be at all places at all times and possess an infinite knowledge of every finite, and for that matter, infinite thing in the universe, you cannot empirically say there is no God. As we say, I don't have enough faith to be an atheist. It simply takes more faith to believe that our universe comes from something like a subatomic particle (like quantum particles) that literally have nothing to do with the complete development of even a single-cell organism than it takes to believe in a Creator. Yes, perhaps single-cell organisms are comprised of subatomic particles but I know for a fact that science simply cannot prove how these particles intelligently created life into a living, breathing, and thinking being.
