Evidence for God from Science

Yes I did read the article but I still believe getting people to believe in a new God presents such a greater problem than anything else that if this can be overcome then the rest can be swept aside easily enough. especially when there is no particular reason not to believe Having no reason to belie...

That bias does not prove someting false. I agree- but I don't understand your "Huh?" response to my statement that it stops you being able to make a fully educated decision. Bias doesn't make something false but it does increase the chance of certain things within it being false as the au...

Any religion has the insurmountable problem of convincing people their God is "the real God". This is extremely difficult and to me any other problems are insignificant compared to this.

Sorry, couldn't force myself to read all of it- so ridiculously biased, but oh wait, according to that bias isn't a bad thing. Ignoring the fact it stops you being able to make a fully educated decision that is... It argues contradictions help verify its true, it argues similarities help verify its ...

This does not verify the truth, it blatantly ignores the problems other religions hadto overcome and passes them off with half a sentence, choosing only to delve further when it suits- how convenient.

I have explained this a few times now, and I think you are being intentionally intellectually dishonest. Please explain logically how those two are contradictory. Have you never said, or heard someone say:'You said it.", in confirming the affirmative when the answer is already contained in the...

I'm afraid I don't see how that link even begins to verify the truth of Christianity- it merely raises ways in which Christianity may have attempted to be more successful. Obviously it isn't common for a religion to last as long as Christianity but some have lasted longer so it isn't on its own. I h...

Maybe you should list those contradictions so we can discuss them. So you are saying there are places where Jesus says He was the Son of God, and then somewhere else where He said He was not? I am not saying that- I am saying one gospel quotes him saying "I am" whereas another quotes him ...

Which variations are you talking about? The version I was looking at did not have Jesus saying that quote as it was outside the speech marks but from your version you believed they were Jesus' words. "Thou hast said" essentially means "It is as thou hast said". I'm not sure how ...

I was using http://www.bibleontheweb.com/Bible.asp as my reference and used the KJV version and the speechmarks finished just before that sentence- seeing as I can't speak Hebrew is there any way of ever being able to rely on the bible if it has variations like that? "Thou hast said" is th...

Thanks for your response :) Sorry if I wasn't clear but I was looking for a quote from Jesus rather than something John had to write about him- in other words I don't want to rely on someone else in the Bible to say he is the son of God but for Jesus himself to say it. Earlier in John 3 Jesus does m...

Sorry, but did Jesus ever claim to be the Son of God? I'm an agnostic but even if I ever convince myself that there is a God, this may be one major part keeping me from Christianity. As far as I am aware Jesus never claimed to be the son of God and even when given the perfect opportunity when questi...

Jerickson, I think your part 1) is quite debatable- it would be more enlightening to explain what evidence there is that verifies the truth of Christianity that isn't available for other religions.
