Why the god of the Bible and not say somebody like Vishnu or Ptah?
quote:
There are plenty of materials on the web and in the bookstores which deal with evidence for God's existence.
How do you know that evidence really exists? Still, what evidence that does exist, why does it point to the god of Abraham? Why a singular god at all?

You are already obviously familiar with them so I'm not sure how profitable this dialog will be.
I'm not so enlighten me if you'd be so kind.
quote:
Certainly not to your satisfaction, but I find it interesting that it is always the Christians who are challenged to validate their worldview. Actually, I could challenge you to do the same for your worldview.
Well in my country, the US, some Christians are going on about how the US is Christian country and their god is the reason why the US is #1. It is also the Christians who are the majority that want to have their version of Creation given equal time with real science.
quote:
First you would have to produce evidence that there is no god.
Well, there is no evidence that any god exists, let alone yours. The burden of delivering evidence is on you. I could ask you for evidence that Unicorns don't exist, despite the fact that the bible mentions them.
quote:
If there is no god, then anything goes so actually, I guess that is all you have to do. But in the end, neither of us can produce "proof" of our worldviews, just evidence which we believe supports it.
Anything goes with no god? How do you figure. If there is no god, then all of the laws of humanity, all of our feelings to our parents, siblings, spouses, children, and each other still exists and required no god at all.
My worldview holds that we are and we came into this existance, How you say? I don't know yet. But I do know if we leave it up to the religious types, we'd still be in caves.
