Why you argue that there is no God?Could you try and rewrite that so it makes some kind of sense we all could understand?
What is an atheist? One that denies the existence of God.I love that whenever I ask for evidence,even in a thread with evidence for God, I get told I'm an atheist.
I'm on a forum called religious education. I am just asking questions. I don't know the answers. That's why I ask
Why you argue that there is no God?
There is no such thing as an athiest

There is no such thing as an athiest because they believe in God but denies their existence because of lack of evidence, but the evidence are themselves. You see how they contradict themselves. They will relentlessly argue without any basis at all. They argue from their self-thought knowledge. These are the falsely called knowledge. They just dont see it because,
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
What is unbeliever? One that does not believe in God, but believe in the existence of God. The same as the atheist, they want evidence too but the evidence are themselves, they just cant see it.
Now, what is the difference between the two?
Nothing! Because,
God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
As an Agnostic Theist I have to disagree with the OP
What the heck is an 'Agnostic Theist'? Seems contradictory.

Someone who believes in a God
but doesn't claim to have knowledge of his existence. I take it one step further by admitting I have no testable evidence to verify my belief.
Seems easy to me as just being someone who leans towards theism without 100% certainty. Probably tons of them out there
Whenever new theories are formulated scientists use known laws to construct them. They do not include fairies or leprechauns because they are not known to exist. William Lane Craig uses reasoning, based on known phenomenon, to formulate his metaphysical theories. That means that the theory is entirely possible and reasonable and conforms to Occam's Razor. It is philosophy, an ancient discipline that has served us very well for many years. It is disrespectful to dismiss him as you do.
He is not making a claim, he is philosophising using known science. It is a method that has been used in all scientific breakthroughs since science began to exist.
It is funny how Atheists dismiss the possibility of the existence of a God just because they cannot see the evidence, or don't want to see it, yet they are willing to believe that the universe came into existence uncaused. By magic, as it were. Do you know why they do that? Because to accept it means that God could exist and they will wriggle and writhe, deceive and lie, blow and bluster, as much as is necessary, rather then accept what is the most likely truth. It would mean that they would have to admit that they were wrong. That requires a lowering of pride. What they fail to see is that whether caused or uncaused, it still renders the same conclusion, that is, the possibility of a God. Atheists get angry because they are fighting a lost cause. As time progresses and science becomes more advanced the world will see that this is all the result of diety. It is God's science.
Maybe you should stop pontificating on the minds of atheists because you never seem to get it quite right. Maybe just accept the obvious fact that some people don't see this "truth" you speak of, especially when good evidence for it is quite lacking. It doesn't require wriggling and writhing, deception and lies to reject your assertions (especially the one where you seem to think that every requires a cause EXCEPT FOR the god you personally believe in).
This atheist can and has admitted that they were wrong once already - it's how I became an atheist in the first place. I'm willing to consider evidence anytime, anywhere, as are most atheists and skeptics I am acquainted with.
A very interesting post. "maybe" I should stop pontificating? Your not really sure?
"not quite right" indicating it is very close to accurate but not quite. I will take that.
"... this truth I speak of"? You accept that it is a truth and that it is mine.
Good Evidence is now lacking and not absent, as it has been claimed?
Don't you believe that everything that changes its direction, state of being or velocity requires and action Do you not believe that every action causes an opposite and equal reaction.
It has already been adequately pointed out to you that it is not everything that exists that has a cause but everything that begins to exist that has a cause. A sound scientific constant. God did not begin to exist, he has always existed, therefore, he required. No cause.
You have no idea what and how atheists think and believe. You're out to lunch on that.
More clear?
And that changes your assertion, how?

No Christian does have testable evidence. No one can replicate the big bang and rapid expansion or any of the other supernatural events that we know of. The best that a Christian can do is to prove it to themselves, which really should be sufficient. God has given us a fool proof method to do that in James 1:5-6.
Why on earth would we need to replicate the Big Bang? That is just nuts. Christians worship an invisible god - a god you can not replicate, or even detect.
Why would we need to replicate the BB, when you can not even demonstrate that your god exists?
If you read the post I was responding to you would understand why I have said that.
