    Did God really write a book?

    Did you read the link? Looks like the answers given to the poster pretty much ended that discussion.

    Did God really write a book?

    One of the things that I often think about when contemplating the worlds major religions is the idea that the message god wants to deliver to the entire world is often given to a single person, alone (Moses, Mohammad, Joseph Smith, etc.). It is up to that single person to deliver gods message to...

    Atheist looking for religious debate. Any religion. Let's see if I can be convinced.

    It doesn't exist.

    Faith

    We are still not using the word "Faith" the same way. I already spelled out that I am using the "firm belief in something which there is no conclusive evidence" definition of faith. You are using it to mean "trust". Evidently, if you use the word faith in a relationship, it has to be used only...

    Atheist looking for religious debate. Any religion. Let's see if I can be convinced.

    People still have trouble understanding the burden of proof? You are an atheist too JoshuaTree and yet you have not provided evidence to support your atheism with respect to all the gods you also don't believe in. Do you think you have a burden of proof to provide evidence for why you do not...

    Faith

    Be careful confusing "admissible" with "credible". Lots of evidence is admissible - meaning you can submit it as evidence to be considered, then jurors or a judge decides if they think the evidence is credible. Eyewitness testimony (for example) is admissible. We all know it can be credible, but...

    Faith

    It's always difficult to have a discussion about a word, when we do not seem to agree on the usage of the word. Obviously, there are different ways to define the word "faith". I think the definition the OP is using is the common "firm belief in something which there is no conclusive evidence"...

    Question about human auras and science

    Good point. I suppose an external emission of energy is the point of the question, not if the energy exists or not.

    Faith

    Anything that doesn't require faith.

    Faith

    Are there forms of evidence that you rely on, that a US court would not recognize as credible evidence?

    Question about human auras and science

    I made two points based on what I have heard people call an "Aura". The first point, I don't have evidence for because this is a default position for what I believe is a nonsense claim, that doesn't have any credible evidence to support it. Evidence could certainly change my mind. The second...

    Faith

    Evidence that is not admissible in court is not reliably credible evidence, or it would be admissible in court. If hearsay was a reliable way to learn the truth, then it would be admissible. Don't you think?

    Question about human auras and science

    What do you mean by aura? If you mean, that thing that colorful glow around you that only certain people can see and based on the color, they can determine what type of person you are (or what mood you are in?). If you mean that, then I think the answer is certainly no. But if you are referring...

    Faith

    We do. As you know, in America we have laws in our country regarding what we are going to accept as evidence in our court system. I assume the reason why we do not allow any and all evidence to be considered is because we do not want to include "evidence" that does not reliably lead to truth...

    Faith

    I should have specified "good evidence" rather than just evidence.

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    Watching Christians disagree on how they interpret and understand the bible is a constant reminder that the bible has been an incredibly ineffective way to deliver a concise message to all of humanity. What a failure.

    Faith

    I think there is a difference between faith and trust. You trusted your veterinarian because she is trained to know how to handle your cat. Your trust is based on evidence. A) This person has 8 years of advanced education, you know this, so you have evidence that you can trust that she has the...

    Did God answer my prayers?

    It looks like you already know the answer to your question. You have a doctor that is trained, knows when vital signs are signaling a problem, and evidently took her off the anesthesia. There is no evidence of a supernatural intervention here.

    The Big (Man)ifestation

    All of my existence falls and rises with the death and birth of one particular individual. Me.

    Hitchens was wildly overrated as a thinker/debater

    You are right, he did have an argument in there specifically for Jesus.
