My point was that it takes much less to know with 100% certainty that there is something then it does to know that there isn’t something. The building is evidence of the builder. Newsflash – literature always requires interpretation. Anyway, I don’t necessarily have time to go back and forth on all of your points, but let me say the following… A lot of my points do touch on the surface of many of your arguments, and I only discuss certain ones because of time restraints and the fact that even small arguments hold up a larger meaning.I also find that language can be very lucid in arguments. Hence the reason many consider atheism to be a religion rather then a lack of one as many atheists would like to claim. In other words the belief that there is no god is a belief about god, namely that He doesn’t exist.” Have to take issue with that too: Theistic — “belief in the existence of a god or gods.” So if you believe there isn’t the existence of a god or gods, then you’re not a theistic. Only after all of that searching and finding did I finally decide to actually accept Jesus as my savior and made a decision to follow Him wherever He leads me.Thanks again Scott for all your comments thus far. Hense, the reason for this blog. The ornery stance is self defeating. When you consider all the evidence I am sharing in these blogs and put it all together it becomes more than plausible. Most people would admit that everything in the universe was created from nothing and those who won’t admit it are in denial (See For most skeptics this isn’t enough evidence to believe. I would hope that people would find it offensive and that it would cause them to look into the matters of God so as not to stay without knowledge. It’s not a neutral language. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. You must know that there is not one single gold tooth, gold decoration, or even one speck of gold in the ground to know with 100% certainty that there is no gold in China. For example I saw a youtube video the other day about a whole bunch of species of animal that were declared extinct and have since been found again.

Back then there was a lot of bad blood between Jews and Samaritans. The word had meaning in the other language and since our language borrowed that word from another language it took with it the meaning as well.

"Well," someone says, "what smug presumption. Once I found that there was I had to believe that perhaps God had provided us with the bible to explain truth to us. Problems often begin when we stray from common moral sense and insist on our understanding from an inspired Book. Also check out my latest blog on that exact topic “Does Evil Disprove God”. I do hope that down the road you will consider and share your thoughts on some of the deeper issues I am sharing in these blogs, but this is a great start!To your first point about “aths” only looking inside themselves to answer the question “is there a God?” I am trying to show that this is an unreasonable way to approach any belief and especially one as important as “Does god exist?”. A fallible, not infallible Book, more encourages questioning than demonizing views to the contrary. Hold on to the good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21 NIV) “Everything” includes your own skepticism. (BTW: looked up ornery — means bad-tempered or combative. It’s great to hear your perspectives, and you have brought up a lot of interesting and good points (especially on the logical hypocrisy of atheists). Am I saying God disapproves all certainty or that uncertainty isn’t all bad? For example there is good evidence for the Red Sea crossing, the actual location of Mt. Again, I and most agnostics don’t necessarily want “agnostic” to define us. See It is logical to suggest we can’t be certain what an invisible, inaudibly God thinks, but supposed certainty has led to justifying slavery and revered theologians such as St. Augustine and John Calvin not firmly opposing the execution of those not agreeing with their theology. I mis-read your argument (didn’t see the space between one “a” and one “theistic”. Proverbs 1:7 (NAS) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.Proverbs 2:5 (NAS) Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover the knowledge of God.Psalms 14:1a (NAS) The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”I care more about your eternal future then I do about hurting your feelings about the true meaning of the word with which your beliefs are labeled.

Over 99% of all knowledge would have to be blindly believed to agree with their religious belief. “To better understand God we must first shatter our own idea of God - maybe even day after day. God will not fail to fulfil that which He has promised. They get to a point where they look deep down inside themselves and ask “Is there a God?” much like Christian’s must ask: “Is JC my lord and savior?” Much like “Mormons” ask “Is there really my own personal heaven waiting for me if I do things right?” They look deep down and make a choice not based on logic or science or anything other than pure gut, or inner instinct, or whatever they want to call it, and say something glass-half-fullish like “This world is too horrible to have a true God behind it.” Now whether they had a rough life when they made that decision, had reaction to a bad religious experience, or just harp on the ugly, that’s something else.

Amoral decisions are open. Some times it take a little discomfort to get us moving in the right direction.
