I know you didn't write it - that's why I put quotation marks around it. I should have made it clearer that it wasn't your quote - sorry.

If God knew everything he would get very bored, I should think.

The bottom line there is no empirical evidence for this atheist fantasy. No one has ever observed evolution generating complexity.

Sorry, but your claim is illogical and unscientific and no psychiatrist would agree with you: One vision and one mysterious voice (known as a locution) over a period of several decades hardly represent symptoms of mental illness - especially when the vision very accurately foretold a future event and when the mysterious voice saved my life. On the other hand, someone who is experiencing hallucinations and hearing voices due to mental illness (schizophrenia, for example) does so on a regular basis. We're talking to the village idiot about his mental handicaps and schizophrenic personality. We're talking to the village idiot who hears mysterious voices in his head and thinks it's god. We're talking to the village idiot who hallucinates macabre images no one else can see and thinks he is sane. Furthermore the hallucinations and voices are meaningless - they certainly don’t predict the future or save anyone’s life. When confronted with miracles, atheists like you find themselves completely out of their depth and discombobulated, hence the irrational reactions. You can run and hide from aspects of reality that you don’t want to face up to, but your phobia strongly suggests you have no love for truth. The problem for you is, the truth eventually catches up with everyone.

Depends on one's definition of "omniscient", I guess.

Yep, I had absolutely no idea what you meant by "alter boy" . lol! Anyhow, now at least you know how to spell "altar".

You seem to have forgotten the alleged first life-form, which, according to atheist folklore, formed naturally from inanimate matter.
All life builds copies (or new versions) of itself, but that is, presumably, not quite the same thing. That is, you claim that before intelligence can exist, there must be some intelligent agency in existence!
That’s right - life can only come from life and intelligence can only come from intelligence.

I don’t have a definition for omniscient. I don't know what it means for God to be omniscient.
What would your definition be? The dictionary definition is some version of "all knowing". Pretty straight forward. Little or no room for ambiguity. So how would you define the word?
Pretty vague.

Also according to Judeo-Christian folklore:quote: Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed intohis nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

My position is, intelligence cannot come from non-intelligence.
As for intelligence having to exist before intelligence can exist . . . isn't that a contradiction in your position?

Life arising naturally from inanimate matter defies science. But what is the point of offering such evidence to someone who is determined to reject any evidence for God’s existence?
Unless you can provide any amount of evidence that suggests God actually exists?

I am indeed Catholic. I don’t know if God is all-knowing, because I don’t know what all-knowing means.
So you believe in a god that is not all knowing? Aren't you catholic?

What you present here is a fallacy of the false alternative. The intelligence that is evident in the universe came from the intelligence of God. So you were almost right in that intelligence has always existed ... but that eternal intelligence exists outside the universe. But even if that was the case, you're stuck with a dilemma: either there was some point before there was intelligence in the universe or the universe is infinitely old and there always was intelligence. Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

quote: "Stile"On a scale of 1-10, how happy does it make you to "know" that God doesn't exist?
