Rom 3:10-12=As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."

Dan Carroll writes:I have made it clear, several times, that atheists and Christians do not have an equal possibility of being deluded. You have used quotes by me to suggest that I am saying we do.

Dan Carroll writes:What we see is what we know is there. If someone is suggesting something other than what we see, they need to provide some sort of evidence that it is there. Otherwise we just fall back on what we can see.So let's see... lookin' around at what I see... lookin' around... no God.

John 20:24-29= So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it." A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
