What does an omnipotent God need with a hell?

Well said. God is unprovable using any tool we have that measures anything naturally. The scientific method can not and should not be used to prove God. While it is true that one can argue a case for God using Platonic methodologies it is not equally true that one could argue God using Aristotle methodologies.

This brings up another point. Too many scientists who are by nature are materialists make forays into the territory of idealism. Why do people (scientist included) abandon the areas they specialize in (having sound evidence) to make irrational statements about subjects they are less informed in? This happens way too much, and causes great confusion.

GIa, I've explained this many times before; it's not a matter of trying to use science to prove or disprove god.

All one needs to do is look at what created the christian religion; the bible. It's filled with errors and omissions that doesn't jive with our reality on this planet.

Miracles are comic book stuff; not serious topic of debate. To conclude such is simple; miracles didn't happen before or after supposed time of your god/jesus.

Virgin birth? Give me a break!

World flood? Never happened.

Noah's ark? How did Noah collect all the animals from around the world in twos and board them on his "boat," fed them, and provided water for all of them? For how long? Think logistics.

Loaves and fishes? Come on!

One of the only things that may have been true is the "burning bush." That could have happened by natural means like lightning.

Turning a human into a pile of salt? Really?

Don't need science to disprove the bible.

Actually, CI, the Christian religion started with Jesus. Before Him, there were no Christians. Carry on.

Nobody's denying your personal beliefs. That's the reason why there are more people on this planet that believes in one religion or another. That's a fact.
