    Evidence That the Absence of a God is Not Possible

    The best argument is that the physical cannot create itself from nothingness. So, there must be something more fundamental than the physical. So, one could argue if there was no fundamental agency nothing would be here. So without some fundamental agency there would be nothing. But there is...

    Need someone to discuss/argue with me on why Christianity is false

    I think you need to tell us what version of Christianity you are representing. There are very conservative to very liberal interpretations out there. What are the basic tenets you are representing?

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    I would call chance and accidental processes unthinking processes. I would go as far as saying thinking processes involve conscious intent.

    The Hidden Things In Life

    And miracles/paranormal events are happening to this day. If they were just in the Bible and not in modern times then I would doubt the Bible.

    Life Is A Miracle!

    I agree

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    Stating the obvious, I am not a Christian even but expressing my very considered opinion that I consider fair, informed and unbiased even if you don't, Mr. Grouch. I have no motive to bias things for any conclusion.

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    Oral testimonies passed down from his life and maybe lost even written testimonies are still very important to consider. My overall assessment is that much of the gospels is true events and teachings, but with interpretation and author's intent as things that have to be considered also.

    Can a person not believe in the God of Abraham and be a Christian?

    My thought is that you can be a Christian and have a more evolved understanding of God than the Old Testament shows at certain points. Actually, I believe Jesus' mission was to bring a better understanding of a loving God.

    Check this out.

    Yes, I think that was clearly their belief.

    Most Religions Believe In An Afterlife

    Not necessarily as ancients probably did not believe in man's evolution or even that the earth was round. I do believe in the afterlife from modern Afterlife Evidence.

    Does the spirit survive the death of the body?I think so.

    I believe because of many types of Afterlife Evidence, not from Bible verses.

    Religious/spiritual folk: do you mind that atheists are common on RELIGIOUS forums?

    I want all types of thinkers here. An unexamined belief is not a strong one.

    Is God Material Or Immaterial

    In my Vedic (Hindu) view, I see God/Brahman as pure Consciousness (immaterial). The material universe is a derivative of Consciousness/God/Brahman.

    Lets Talk About Spirit Possessions

    We have to judge the quality of the channeling and its consistency with other positive sources.

    Why Turn Water Into Wine?

    It was fish and wine as that was the normal tradition at weddings. The host would have been embarrassed by running out.

    Immaculate Conception

    You have a common misconception that I once had. The Immaculate Conception is not about Jesus' birth as I had thought. Immaculate Conception - Wikipedia The Immaculate Conception is the belief that the Virgin Mary was free of original sin from the moment of her conception.

    Lets Talk About Spirit Possessions

    I listen to channeled sources that 'get out of the way' and don't have conscious memories of what happened in the trance. I call that possession. I think many ancient cultures that have barely survived into the modern age make use of possession as part of their ceremonies. I would have once...

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    I might sometimes take the position 'I believe something is highly likely to be the case'. While it seems your position in all such cases would always be 'I'm not guessing'. Action based on reason and best chances is a positive trait of rational beings.

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    In the face of an unknown some stances can be rationally more believable than others. You are trying to say explanations for all things not provable are equally likely. I’m going to disagree with an example like aliens are more likely than the Easter Bunny although both are not proven.
