God is disproven by science? Really?

This is your brain:

This is your brain on intelligence:
original

I figured out the age-old question. . . "Which came first, the chicken or the egg."

Every cell in a chicken's parent would have to have altered DNA to be something other than a chicken. But, an egg is just one cell, so it is easier to alter the DNA.

Thus, the egg was first, and the chicken grew as the egg divided through mitosis.

Theists believe that God made the egg out of mud. Doesn't that seem difficult to understand?

Lol! You are telling me that you do not know how to separate myths or fairy tales to reality.

So now you should provide proof of your accusation
"Many people mostly atheists believe that God has been disproven or has being shown to be non-existent"

I'll wait

God is the same as Intelligent Creator or Intelligent Designer, since existence is observable. Intelligence predicts it.
I didn't ask you for that.

I asked you for a description of a real god, (non-imaginary, found in nature, having objective existence) such that if we find a real suspect we can determine whether it's God (or a god) or not.

If you're not talking about a real God, simply a conceptual one, please just say so.

If you're talking about a real God, I need that description to know what you're talking about. So, I suggest, do you.

Your post wasn't directed to me.
I'm not a proponent of ID. I'm just trying to understand your argument.

You seem to be stacking the deck in your favor by requiring that, in order to qualify for existence, an entity must be like something that we can perceive consciously. But we have an unconscious mind. Can't we just assume that stuff can exist there as well? It doesn't have to be "supernatural." It can be natural but imperceptible.
I'm distinguishing between two ways in which something can be said to be.

First, it can have objective existence. That means it's found in the world external to the self, objective reality, nature, the realm of the physical sciences.

Or it can be purely as a concept / thing imagined in an individual brain.

Sometimes a third option is mentioned, existing as 'spirit' or the like, but no objective test can distinguish that from the conceptual / imaginary.

Do you have a fourth option?

That is not imaginary since our mind could understand intelligence from reality, from my discovery. Thus, you are inventing your own reality and God.

That does not compute.

When you've told me what a real God is, such that I can tell whether any real candidate is God or not, please follow up with your definition of "intelligence" here. It doesn't appear to be the same as mine, but before I reach any firm conclusion, let's hear your version.

All you need is love.
That is still very weak. How many times other non-theist scientists insulted us of being delusional, stupid, moron..with no evidences? Thus, my OP is still cute.

Have you ever heard of turning the other cheek, loving your neighbor as yourself, loving your enemies, and treating others the way you want to be treated? Since you're a Christian, I assume that you've read the New Testament. Hence, you should know that these commands are directed towards the followers of Christ. So, where does the name-calling ("non-intelligent people") fit in with them?

And isn't it the primary responsibility of a Christian to be an ambassador of Christ and fulfill the Great Commission to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, of the son, and of the holy spirit"? I don't recall any scriptures in the New Testament commanding the followers of Jesus Christ to prove that God exists to unbelievers. On the contrary, Romans 1:19-20 states that since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities have been clearly seen and can be understood. If this scripture is the infallible and inerrant word of God, then why do you think it's necessary to prove his existence to atheists? If God is all-powerful and all-knowing as the Bible claims, then why does he need you and other creationists like you to prove to unbelievers that he exists?

No, not a fourth option. In my earlier post, I described what would amount to a different perception of your third option.

Your third option, IMO, sets up a false dichotomy: (1) It passes an objective test or (2) It can't be distinguished from the imagined.

You are omitting the logically possible existence of everything that we currently can't test for. For example, it's logically possible that if the left brain is damaged and goes offline, we might experience an 'oceanic' feeling of love and oneness.

That happened to one stroke-damaged brain of a woman who happened to be a brain scientist. But we can't test it for it by deliberately damaging the left brains of people and sending them offline.

Nevertheless, it's one of many possibilities that can't pass an objective test. Yet it can be distinguished from the imagined.

Lol! You are telling me that you do not know how to separate myths or fairy tales to reality. That is why I already told you that if you do not know the topic of intelligence, you will become stupid. Stupid person does not know up or down, high or low..etc.. Thus, please, know intelligence first before you babble.

Can... you prove to me through ID how it is Brahma the Creator exists?
