Could you guys please elaborate for me on your reasoning rather than just state something without backing it up.

I have no empirical evidence for God, but I do think God makes the most sense.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.

I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

What's wrong with bacon? Not hard enough for you?

I believe love is the best evidence for a God. Think about it. How else could love exist?

And bacon too. Something that delicious can't be a result of pure chance.

I also think the functionality of all the earth's ecosystems is great evidence for a designer.

Reason and reason alone. By reason it can be shown that God is an absolute necessity.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Creation the way everything was made and how everything works together, down to the smallest thing like atoms, Cells, and DNA. How far the earth is from the sun, the big bang( what started that explosion when nothing was here something just does not create itself. Look around outside how beautiful things are and all the different laws in science. This world is your evidence. So this tells you something had to create everything (A God)and something can not come from nothing it is proven in science.

Check out the Shroud Of Turin. and see what you think of the story (Heaven is For real ). It's A Near Death experience.

The big bang has never described a starting point to anything but our observable universe, simple logic however describes an arena that is far, far from nothingness!
Simple logic would bring intellect along an undeniable path in thought.... Lets indulge it and wipe it all clean down to a void/nothingness.... More so, it is an infinite void in an infinite arena of time.... If a universe could 'spring' from said void, probability offers us this very simple aspect to logic; in an infinite arena of time and void there are infinite events to which this probability can occur giving us infinite examples of such a point of origin. This is just small scale view to something that logically, there is no point of origin.
Never once has science declared anything pertaining to origin beyond our physical/observable 'universe'.

And here is the real conundrum that you alone must overcome, something that always is and always was doesn't need a creator.

Depends on what "God" you are talking about.
IMO, the best evidence for a personal God, like what Christianity claims, is a personal relationship WITH God.

Let's try to keep that (false) argument in one thread, shall we?
