If a single one of the hundreds of Bible prophecies, or one of the hundreds of God's promises ever failed to come true I would immediately abandon my faith and become an Atheist.And that is a good reason to believe the Bible is wrong. If the truth is only revealed to the 'select', then there is no difference between it and self-delusion. It is an opinion and nothing else.
Truth, by its nature, is there for everyone, if they would only look. You can get a telescope and see what the universe is like. You can investigate geology on your own.
Here's a question: what sort of evidence *could* prove you wrong? Not that you expect or believe this evidence will ever appear. But what would be able to prove you wrong?
Yes, but nothing in secular science is for sure, everything is constantly changing. Yesterdays theories are discarded like trash and new theories are adopted until some other novel theory is given oxygen for a while.It isn't circular if it is based on previously tested ideas.
I just can't accept the theory that nothing caused incredibly complex life forms to just exist. If everything has always existed, then why is everything in a state of self destruction or de evolution. Nothing is evolving, everything is getting old and decaying and dying.There is no 'nothing'. Some things simply exist: like the universe. Some things happen that are unaused: nothing prior to them made it so that the event would happen as it did.
It is NOT that 'nothing' caused things to exist. It is that there is no cause at all.
That’s not true! There is compelling evidence all over the world of a massive flood.
I only believe something if there is undeniable rock solid proof. I don't fancy lending my mind to someone who assaults it with lies, deception and fantasyYou don't use logic so you wouldn't know. You use your feelings instead.

Nothing is evolving, everything is getting old and decaying and dying.
I can't accept the theory which claims that new stars, planets, moons, life forms just decide to evolve without a cause, causing them to evolve and die.
i will abandon my faith as soon as someone is able to find any fault of false claim in it. Secular unbelievers have been trying to find a shred of evidence against it for 6000 and all of their efforts have been in vein so far so it's a safe bet they never will.Perfectly demonstrating my point (which you ignored). Your 'reasoning' is entirely circular. Anything that hints that you might be wrong is a deception or wicked unbelievers not understanding your god. No hint of cold hard reality must be allowed into your mind at any cost.
Because that's exactly what they're saying but not admitting it.And yet again demonstrating the point I made in #818. Why are you too afraid to acknowledge that this is not what people are saying?

God caused Himself, He is separate from His universe and His creation. Everything else is created so it's common but He is unique and not connected to anything.Let me ask this. What caused your God?
I am betting you will say that he is not caused by anything. In other words, he came from nothing?
maybe if you ponder that, you will get what I am saying.
You said that evidence and proof must be examined using the scientific method. That's like asking the Mafia to investigate themselves and report their findings to the FBI and CIAI see that you are still having a tough time grasping the concept of circular reasoning. And no I made no admission of circularity. What part was too hard to understand?
You are simply claiming circularity but cannot explain why.
The straw man stands until you can bring him down with factsNobody is asking you to. This is just your own straw man. I suggest you learn something about evolution.
Populations are evolving. There is overwhelming evidence and direct observations.
Another straw man.
As I said, I stand ready to abandon my faith and become an Atheist as soon as someone can find ant proof that the earth is more than 6-7000 years old. we simply have no evidence to support the counter claims but we do have dinosaurs buried in mood with blood cells in them. No any honest scientist will tell you that that skeleton should have fossilised 64.999 millions year agoArgument from ignorance.
The idea that the universe (or humanity, for that matter) is only 6000 years old (if that's what you mean), has been falsified by solid evidence, many, many times in multiple different disciplines.

If secular science teaches that you can observe something being created, then assert that there is absolutely no cause or purpose for this then I give up
This is nutty. Multiverse. If universe means everything it includes any kind of multiverse.
