ICAN'T,
​
Why should I choose Atheism and Evolution over God and Creation?
​
You should accept evolution because it is a notion supported by a wealth of mutidisciplinary evidence all pointing to the fact that evolution happened.
​
There is no evidence that any religions gods are actual beings & as such we cannot accept them as portrayed. We must be neutral to theism & therefore be a-theistic. After all, we do exactly this for everything else we have no evidence of. Anything else is intellectually inconsistent & hypocritical.

Re: Everything Is A Choice
ICAN'T,
​
But God cannot tell you a lie.
​
God isn't omnipotent, then.

ICAN'T
​
What does God not being able to tell a lie have to do with Him being Almighty???????
​
Who said anything about almighty? Omnipotent means the ability to do anything. If he can't tell a lie then he can't do anything, & is therefore not omnipotent.

Re: Everything Is A Choice
ICAN'T,
​
Source of definition please?
​
New Oxford Dictionary of English.
​
Omnipotent: Having unlimited power, able to do anything.

Re: Everything Is A Choice
ICAN'T,
​
You can equivocate all day long, but the corrolary is that god can't do anything he wants.

Re: Everything Is A Choice
ICAN'T,
​
So, is it true God can do anything but cannot lie?
