Nice translation brought to us by the filter known as TKO. Let's compare the athletic skills of a star high school baseball player to that of a star major league player. Sound fair enough?

That kid is ok but, he would'nt last 10 seconds in a major league tryout and neither would you!

Pav is a professional with countless hours of training....Paul is an amateur who sold cell phones!

To make the comparison says it all! Can ya hear me now or do you need to switch carriers? Besides if Paul really is'nt that good and has been signed with Sony......That could be even more evidence.

It's a miracle! lol Thanks Set,TKO

So now there is nothing significant about this individual? Case closed. You've failed any burden of proof.

Who said we are'nt?

Who said being able to sing well was the evidence?

That's exactly the point. Quit counting the angels on the tip of a pin.

A baby born with non-survivable defects is not a masterpiece. A priest who molests children is not a masterpiece. A mean-spirited and bitter soul that never achieves redemption is not a masterpiece.

You titled the thread "Evidence of God," posted a link to a clip of a man singing, and made reference to the man doing what he was born to do.

If you did not mean that his singing was the evidence, what did you mean? Do you think this man was predestined to sing? If so, why does God gift some people with talent and give others the desire to sing but not the right vocal apparatus? Why such a disparity in talents/abilities (precisely what you'd expect if we evolved) - instead of each person being given their fair share by a just creator?

Exactly how do you think any of this constitutes evidence of God, when it is quite clearly just the opposite?

You ask a question then close your case. I used the word IF as a qualifier.
I never said he was'nt significant...your projecting.

Then what is the relevance of the *snaps*? Eorl would rather nothing (He) do something about the tsunami victims which sounds like big bang poofism.

Because nothing has been seemingly done.....God is nothing?

What have you guys done?

The sanps are because, if their was a god, this is how it would show itself. the "God knows best" line doesn't cut it. By that same line of reasoning, some crazy idiot could claim the holocaust as evidence of god.

Eorl does not want a nothing to something, he is simply pointing out that the notion of god which so many adore is useless.

What have I done? Here's a hint. Even if I've done nothing, I've done more than your nothing has done and which you have claimed to do everything.

You say if there was a God...THIS IS HOW IT WOULD/should SHOW ITSELF statement is ridiculous.

You are apparently a believer as well. God knows best more than cuts it especially in comparison to what you know. Apples and oranges again.

Would you expect God to see things as you do and think like you too?

Wow that post needs a bit of tayloring.

You haven't specifically said god has done everything, but you seem to play the card of "God knows best" in regaurds to things like tsunamis. That's pretty much God does everything talk. Regaurdless, even if you don't believe god does everything, you seem to think that it does SOMETHING. So prove it.

How is this ridiculous at all? Back it up.

Apple: My limited knowledge and experience.
Orange: The assumed infinite knowledge and experience or a being that doesn't exist.

Orange sounds nice, but the apple is still worth more.

If a god existed in such a way (the same preposition you tried to scold me for earlier) I would simply insist that they see and think. they would not have to see and think like me. Before anyone could ever find out what god see ans thinks, god would first have to exist.

Taking the quiet stance with my questions still?

So you agree God would not have to see and think like you?

yet....

This would not make your statement about "THIS IS HOW IT WOULD/should SHOW ITSELF.....ridiculous?

This statement is backed up by your own words.

You make no sense whatsoever.

Interesting topic - one that's been bantered about on here in many ways. Non-believers claiming there is no scientific evidence of God - yet they will go to their grave insisting that their Mom loves them and vice versa. (Of course w/o scientific evidence of proof.) :wink:

Both scenarios are clearly emotion-based conclusions.

And the man can sing - I am happy that he is so blessed!

BTW, I'm not sure if it was you who I've discussed this comparisson of the evidence of God with the notion of love, but it seems plainly clear what the difference is.

I can recreate, reproduce, qualify and validate evidence that my mother loves me. I can do this because my mother is REAL.

There just is zero credible evidence of god.

My proof is that we can both testify to that claim because we are real. This evidence can be recreated, reproduced, qualified and validated.

The burden of proof to prove god's exisitance is still waiting to be satisfied.

OK, I think I've got it. (But I'm asking to be sure!) Because you and your Mom are "real" whatever you say to each other is undeniably true?
