Ding ding. You can prove something without seeing it with your own eyes.

Oh? Like what, exacty?

Quote:

What reason or motivation is there for me as a rational thinking person to believe in this story, in this being?

No more than a rational thinking person such as myself does.

Quote:

Just because I don't HAVE to believe a science book doesn't mean I have any basis to believe in the "good book".

Exactly. Now, please tell me why there is this supposed difference between believing what someone tells you is truth, in some book, written by someone before your time, perhaps even in a language not native to you, with no way of validating that it's true except by believing what others educated in that area say... and religion?

Quote:

It would be an awesome stretch to put, say, a strand of my hair on a slide in a certain position and look at it through a microscope and see it in that same position. Then to see that hair and see it move in the scope real-time to my motions. Then, to put another slide with blood under that same microscope and see bacteria and say it's been tampered with.

Prove to me that the hair you see under the microscope hasn't been distorted in some way? (And I don't mean distorted by magnification)

Quote:

How does this prove God's existence?

I never said it does. Infact, I've never once said that "God Exists". As I've always said, the existance of God can not be proven or disproven, hence why it is (for the <unknown> time) a system of belief.

Quote:

Willfull blindness? Because I look at something and don't see it as "God's work"? What exactly am I blind to? Where could I see God's work and know that's exactly what it is?

You can see it every day if you just look out the window. Yes, even the weather.

Quote:

"God" being is all you've known from so young that you can't even seem to fathom that *I* might in fact be right, that there is no "God" at all. You can't even FATHOM this at all, while I have, as I've said before, considered the existence of God and found no justification.

I can't fathom it? Oh, I can comprehend the non-existance of God very much. Just as easily as I can comprehend the idea that Descarte brought forth about whether or not the world exists.

As well, please stop with the hypocritical comments. Saying that I'm wrong because I believe in God, simply "because I was raised with "knowledge" of him", and then claiming that your way is better is completely redundant. You've even admitted it yourself that you did not grow up with "knowledge" of God. Well, the only reason you can claim a disbelief in him is because of that reason.

That argument works both ways, you know. Of course, this applies to everything else as well. Why Capitalism is better than socialism, why no Government funding of Health Care is better than funding it, why Social programs are a waste of time, or why the opposite of that is believed by people. It's what they grew up with.

So, if you're still wanting to continue with the train of thought regarding why I believe in God, you had better be willing to apply that same logic to everything you believe in yourself.

Oh, yes... and I'm still waiting to see some proof that God does't exist. No one seems willing, or able, to produce it.
