Hundreds of Proofs of God's existance Options

[Billy]

Proof of God through modern day reason

Some favorites:

ARGUMENT FROM MIRACLES (I)
(1) My aunt had cancer.
(2) The doctors gave her all these horrible treatments.
(3) My aunt prayed to God and now she doesn't have cancer.
(4) Therefore, God exists.

ARGUMENT FROM CREATION, a.k.a. ARGUMENT FROM PERSONAL INCREDULITY (I)
(1) If evolution is false, then creationism is true, and therefore God exists.
(2) Evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to understand it; moreover, to accept its truth would cause me to be uncomfortable.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

ARGUMENT FROM FEAR
(1) If there is no God then we're all going to not exist after we die.
(2) I'm afraid of that. (3) Therefore, God exists.

ARGUMENT FROM THE BIBLE
(1) [arbitrary passage from OT]
(2) [arbitrary passage from NT]
(3) Therefore, God exists.

I stopped reading at 40ish though. It starts to get boring.

Correct, the existence of god can neither be proven or disproven but I find the rationale in these passages to be true. Belief in god is found through coincidental events in a person's life, which could be taken either as miraculous or not.

I never understood why so many fundamentalist Christians had a problem with evolution anyways. Evolution has nothing to do with how life originated. Instead, it has more to with how life has developed over earth's history. Evolution can exist alongside the belief of a deity and not interfere. Unless, a Christian wants to interpret the bible literally which is silly.

Science explains the how and religion/faith explains the why. They CAN be compatible.

evolution does counter what the Bible says about Creation. The Bible says the earth was created in seven days. Now, if we take that as seven literal days and in those seven days god created birds, reptiles, breathing things, fish, etc then that would go against the idea that we evolved from apes. On the other hand, a minimalist idea of evolution can co-exist with Creation in that yes, things have changed over time. People are bigger. There are more races. Blah blah blah. Core Creationism and Evolution are not compatible.

and I swear if Griesux or whatever were to correct my spelling, i think I would snap. That, along with the "your mom" jokes is getting old.
