Ah no, it's just the time put into replies which are ignored that bugs me - tho ye can't go wrong with a watch of SH.

In lieu of the OP starting a similarly brilliant thread here, maybe we could start a discussion to decipher what race adam & ever were? :pac:

Yes. But then if God wants us to believe in him it is illogical to suppose he wants that to be based on faith, so it is some what of a moot point.

God made us bad at personal assessment and good at empirical study. It is therefore some what oxymoronic to suppose he would choose to reveal himself in the very manner he made us bad at, since that supposes God would work against his own standards of creation.

God has created science to strengthen the faith of believers. So scientific point of view is showing his existence. Exploring science opens the door to an understanding of God that compliment scientific truth.

This makes perfect sense if God is completely insane.

Not joking. Why would a God that exists treasure faith?

Pointless thread.............I fail to see how else he would achieve belief in him apart from faith??
I'm not a christian or bible basher myself but this is a silly topic.

No, God appearing in the skies and announcing in every language that he is the creator of the universe would count. It would also be nice if he could, I dunno, violate the laws of thermodynamics, spell out Yaweh with blackholes or alter the universal constants as a demonstration of his omnipotence.

The whole Jesus thing was a little ambiguous at best, y'know?

I agree but you have to remember that there are people that claim to have seen him appear in the skies etc. In order to believe those people you would need to have a bit of faith first no? They would claim that just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen....

Those people are mental.
