What tapeworm that disappeared from what man? You claim to be presenting evidence of the existence of God and don't think to actually include said evidence?

Because, God is not limited to a single time like us, he is more fifth-dimensional if you will. Time has no meaning to Him. He knew of our existence before we existed.

How do you know this?

Mother Theresa wasn't quite so blessed as her supporters would have you believe.

@Poseidon384,

First, your proposition assumes that human exist independently of your god, and that your god is acting with reference to them. Does not your religion tell you that your god created humans? Second, you assume that we can go "find it and go to it." What basis do you have for such an assumption? Finally, if life exists somewhere where humans cannot exist, how do you propose that humans will be able to satisfy their curiosity about that life?

Prove your god exist with logic before you make claims that has no logical basis.
There are no rabbits in the sky - because they cannot be proven to exist; logic 101 .

@cicerone imposter,

You can not prove or disprove the existence of God. That is why we have FAITH.

Please forgive me if I'm taking this more literally than you intended, but do you see the logic break there? The inability to prove or disprove cannot be the motivation to chose either belief nor non-belief. The "why" for having faith must have another source. To me, it suggests motivated reasoning.

@FBM,

Why is it that people of faith loose all sense of logic?
Prove two negatives with evidence; I wonder if they can?

@cicerone imposter,

I don't think faith can be arrived at by logic. Seems to me that it's family influence, traditions, social identity, promises of eternal reward, etc, that motivate the faith. I've never seen trying to apply logic in an ad hoc manner work out very well. I've always been able to find cracks.

He's presenting his inability to know whether there's a God as an argument for why faith is necessary -- as a substitute for knowledge. If he could logically prove God's existence, faith and belief would be unnecessary.

Yes, that's what I suspected that he meant. That's why I started with "Please forgive me if I'm taking this more literally than you intended." But the way he wrote it seemed to imply that his conclusion (faith) was logically entailed by the premise, ie, that neither proof nor disproof are possible.

Fair enough, and not having proof of God's existence is not proof that we should have faith in God.

They wish to put the burden of proof to others, but that's totally illogical.
Since it's their claim there is a god, they have the obligation to prove what they claim exists. Logic-101.

@cicerone imposter,

To be fair to the OP, I don't think he set out trying to convince non-believers in the existence of his creator. I think he just assumed that there were more believers here who would take it for granted.

But, yes, if someone makes a claim, the burden of proof is on them to prove it, not on others to disprove it.

I had to read that a few times, but yes. Lack of proof is nothing but lack of proof. Not justification for either belief, positive or negative. Seems to me suspended judgement is the way to go until proof is found.
