1. Plenty rational. The evidence is there is you ask God to reveal Himself. How else can you see an invisible God? We believe in quantum particles which are invisible to us, and God created it and Planck's constant on the 1st day.
What you’re saying is that one must already believe something, in order to find evidence for it. We must believe in god in order to see the evidence of this god’s existence. You’re just believing in the thing you want to believe in, regardless of the evidence or lack thereof. Which is fine for you, but it’s not verifiable evidence for creationism.
The only way I could imagine that we could “see” an invisible god, is through that god’s supposed actions. If god exists, and if god interacts with the earth and the beings on it, those actions should be detectable or measurable in some way. And if we can do that much, you’ve still got a ways to go to confirm that these measurable actions were taken on the part of the specific god you believe in. Maybe Thor did it.
2. The part about having faith or sincere belief is not science, but I've shown cases of science backing up the Bible, and pointed out the questions that evolution cannot answer and how it's wrong about the earth and universe being billions of years old. The Bible can't change, but science ends up backing it up. There are things it backed up and there will be things it will back up in the future.
Like I pointed out before, even if you could completely falsify evolution, you’d be not one step closer to confirming creationism. You have to provide evidence
for creationism. Showing that the Bible might be right about a couple of minor things doesn’t do that. What about all the things it is wrong about? You haven’t shown that science is wrong about the age of the universe or the earth (which is not evolution science, by the way) and even if you did, again, that doesn’t mean the Bible is right about it (or your interpretation of what the Bible says about it).
You have a problem here. That problem is that all of the evidence from multiple independent fields of science collected over almost two centuries by multiple groups of independent researchers all converge on the same data in regards to evolution. All of it points to the same conclusion. It’s not “evo” science that demonstrates this; it is geology, physics, chemistry, genetics, biology, zoology, botany, ecology, paleontology, and so many more. You’d rather rely on one ancient book written by people who knew vastly less than we do today about pretty much everything. And it shows.
3. Moreover, It's not just my beliefs, but God is there for all. God gave you free will so it's up to you to ask God to reveal Himself. He was there in the video I posted at #3175.
These are beliefs and assertions, not evidence.
There are times when life matters and you can see the beauty and complexity in nature, world and people around you and you just know it's good.
And what of the bad times when you know it’s bad?
Otherwise, life is too short to be concerned about global warming, climate change, gun control and what can derail Clinton in the election ha ha.
I couldn’t disagree more. Is this what the Bible teaches you? How very selfish and short-sighted.
If you can't get past that, then all I can say is that one day, you will have all the evidence you need. The science of neurology and the study of near-death experiences can only hint at what happens after death. Science will not be able to explain it all. That is written in the Bible. Science will not reveal what happened in the beginning nor what happens at the end. We do not know the moment life starts and when life ends. Just have a close estimate. When one is talking about quantum particles, then it has to be precise, no? We won't have that level of precision. God said He will keep some things to Himself.
This all just sounds like wishful thinking to me.
The evidence is there that you won't be able to find you way. The true way is 90 degrees perpendicular, straight up and down. If you're just a skosh off by a scant degree, you will walk thinking you are walking straight until you've veered off greatly from the correct path. Don't we all make mistakes? None of us are perfect and yet we revere perfection. Those kind of values come from God. The values you have are the same ones that God has. He's not a being we are not familiar with.
With that jb has exited this thread and hope others will be able to continue to provide the evidence.
These are just more assertions. Not evidence for creationism. It’s strange that you purport to know what values the god you worship has, but have no way of providing any evidence or demonstration of that.
I don’t revere perfection and I see no reason to believe that “those kind of values come from God.”
