A little harder to ignore as commentary this time, but still along that line of sentiment. I do challenge a number of your unfounded/unfoundable comments but I do think you can find it rhetorical:
Glorydaz...The fact that you are challenged by my presence here actually encourages me to continue to rebut Christian nonsense...I'm getting through to you...slowly... I want to see you set free...Isn't this a worthy goal?
Here. Let me be blunt: I know there is a God. Can't get any more blunt than that. It is a case study rather than a pseudo experiment (it is really hard to do sociological science without it being plastic), but these are acceptable admissions into science journals. You'll call them anecdotal, but the evidence for God's existence is overwhelming.
Glorydaz isn't threatened by you, she is seeing you being childish with overt pronouncements that pretty much tell her she just wasted her time. Oddly, you are asserting, "as if" you could prove there is no god. :nono: As I am going through this cold, it is amazing to me that my body has antibodies to fight it off. That's design. As I have stereo hearing, ability to smell that pleases or warns me before I stick something in my mouth just below it, you don't seem to contemplate the spectacular the way I do. Chance has no ability to have kept me alive. The first hot day in the primordial pool should have dehydrated the emerging life, with no defense and killed it. Imho, atheists simply don't think contemplatively or thoughtfully or exponentially or logically, etc. etc. Scripture says it is a desire to not have accountability to a Creator. Why else would one suppress wonder at the incredibly complex nature of the universe? The ancient book makes far better sense than you give it credit. Archeologists are not this dull.
Science, by atheists, has a way of shaping the head to say "all there is" and "empirical" as if it could quantify love, or God. It 'tries' to do so with 'instinct did it' or 'evolution did it' etc. but it cannot tell you why something is beautiful. It tries, and falls flat, unless one is so indoctrinated by what the media says beauty is, that they stop wondering at their aging wife. That's a sad commentary. There are things, I believe, science can't ever quantify or rightly understand but on a superficial level. Great? Yep, but once the frog is dead and dissected, science cannot bring it back to life. It understands so very little of an exponentially large universe. Try not to let science be your only world view or the narrow parameters of meaning in the universe.
