Evidence for God

Wouldn't the fact that you have evidence be contrary to faith. When people speak of faith, it is usually belief in a particular subject for that subjects belief alone, dispite evidence for or against. If you believed in something because you have evidence for it, than strictly speaking you do not belive in it by faith. You believe by evidence.

Unfortunatly the only evidence for the event that is referenced in the torah is located in the torah. so how valid is the claim if it can not be evidenced through any other means? Many people testify to the validity of numerous religions. Just because they believe it to be true is not evidence that it is true.

No some make more outlandish claims, some less so. That is really beside the point though isn't it? I would belief neither seeing as how almost all religions claims to be god inspired. Being able to shout the loudest does not make you right.

I did not claim that another religion made the same claim. I said all religions claim to be god inspired. I would have thought that was pretty clear in my post. Since it wasn't, then lets say the religion of the flying spagethi monster. It was actualy the FSM whos' words were heard that day. He only let people believe it was someone else because he knew the people were not ready at the time to know the truth. You can't prove that it wasn't. I can't prove that it was. So the statement that 600,000 people heard the word of god, so everthing that the torah says has to be true and it has to be so because it is written in a torah is completly baseless. It is not a reason to be able to say with certanty that you could select between the validity of one religion or the other. However this is completly of topic. Since none of this is evidence for god. If you would like to discuss it further I will join you in a new thread.

I love how you make this claim but then leave out "with the exception of my choosen religion. It is the only true one." you would think with 600,000 people witnessing the event we would have additional storys collaberating it. Other people would want to record their version of what happened. Yet we only have one record and it is the only one that says such an event occured. I see no difference from your liar and any other liar.
