This OP is for All people of all Faiths that believe in God.
What evidence do you have of God?
What logic and reasons have you used in determining the proofs and truths you subsequently embraced from the examination of that evidence?
The purpose of this OP needs to be embraced if you are to...
The Bible is True
The Bible is a collection of documents (primary source), written by some 40 individuals (some claim more than 50), over a period of 1600 years. Yet it is harmonious from the first dot of ink, to the last, having a message linked by one thread, running through from beginning to...
At its core, this topic boils down what is meant by "evidence."
I define evidence as "Anything that lets us reliably differentiate between ideas that are merely imaginary, and ideas that accurately describe reality."
So, if you propose some method, framework, or argument as evidence, but that...
This is somewhat indirectly a response to a post I was reading about evidence in belief.
I just want to clarify, most religions have some sort of scripture that supports it's foundation. Many people consider their Scripture the standard of Truth. I am just curious to know how many people would...
I just can't believe it. o_O
How does a person believe in something for which they have no evidence?
How can one just believe in a god, when they have absolutely no evidence?
I don't get it. :confused:
To me, that's like one standing on the edge of a mountain, without any glider, singing, "I...
Theists, do you wish everyone to obey whatever you say God say everyone should obey?
Does it made you sad/angry that not everyone obey whatever you believe God say everyone should obey?
Do you plan to rule the world so that everyone will obey whatever you believe God say everyone should obey...
In my opinion there exists great evidence for a Creator God who loves creating things:
the great variety of life and landscapes on earth.
Landscapes keep changing and life can be found in all its forms.
When to "provide evidence" making claims? !
On RF when I make a claim "I can hold my breath" till someone imposes "you should provide evidence"
Is this correct? Are there examples of claims which can be made without having to provide evidence?
I could think of a few claims, where the smart...
What is the difference between a claim, a fact and evidence?
I recently encountered someone online who said that there is no evidence for Covid-19 because anybody can say anything in interviews, even on youtube, and scientists can claim anything they wish. There are only claims of Covid-19...
Can philosophy be proved by the scientific method?
I understand that all or many aspects of Philosophy cannot be proved / evidenced or demonstrated to be reliable by the Scientific Method.
Right, please?

IMHO: Debate on "God exists (not)" is not sensible
*) To say "God exists", means you know God 'fully' and have a proper definition of God
*) He who makes a claim has to provide the evidence
1) Scientific person MUST provide evidence to claim "God exists not"
2) Spiritual person MUST provide...
Do you believe in anything you have not experienced personally? Of so, what is it and what led you to believe it?
If you have not experienced it, do you have evidence of it?
If you have no experience of it and no evidence of it, why do you choose to believe in it?
'THE BIBLE AND SCIENCE DON'T COINCIDE!'
Below are some reasons why I disagree with the statement above :)
Share thoughts - be kind.

Argument should be based on reason, evidence and logic, and change in ones world view should be based on this, right? No, in reality one's presuppositions are hold sway in arguments, and not reason, evidence and logic.
The following article from the New Yorker is an interesting take on the...
Lets pretend all religions are equally possibly correct. If one goes by nothing but the numbers the chance of you being correct are 1 in 19 if you count the large religions of the world . From there if you add in religious sects and dead religions the chance goes down even lower.
So how do you...
To someone who likes evidence of something before he or she believes in something it's almost impossible to justify spiritual experience within their own life.
Take Jesus for instance, give him all his miracles, give him all his works from the gospel and so on. Would this prove the god he spoke...
It seems to me that some Christians, being submerged in a social group that is all about Jesus, assume that Atheists don't believe as they do because one of the following:
1. They are bad people who want to sin and so screw god and his rules.
2. Had something bad happen to them or a loved one...
