This conversation got pretty deep... I don't think I was inebriated enough to fully grasp.

[sammy2trees]

Christian apologists sure are getting desperate! This is one of the biggest guns they've pulled out yet. Too bad it failed to go off.

LOL...you gotta love it!

'talking snakes' , 'virgin births' , 'walking on water' , 'rising from the dead' etc. etc. etc.

ya don't need to be a scientist to know this is all bullshit.

A bit of 'common sense' should suffice.

[firstatheist]

If you say the logical absolutes are part of his nature and his essance then you are essentialy equating the two, and creating a tautology. God is the logical absolutes. In this case we can apply occam's razor and do away with the god part because it isn't a neccessary assumption.

@xfraudbuster a steak knife can break a thick steel wall if the steel wall is brittle enough.

Wow, at that moment when he said that there would be no statement, oh Matt just knew that he had him.

@Lutukor What's wrong with scientism? Well, science is a useful tool, no argument there. But it just cannot be used to measure transcendental being. Not a perfect analogy, but it's like using a steak knife to break a thick steel wall.

I can only say that atheists are already on the right track by using their reason and critical thinking. However they don't seem to realize that they (and human in general) is limited.

[Lutukor]

@xfraudbuster I see. My next question is then what are the characteristics of God (obviously, being transcendental would be one) and if not empirical evidence, what else could be provided? Logic is not considered evidence, it's something used to explain already existing evidence. I don't particularly understand what's wrong with scientism either.

[xfraudbuster]

@Lutukor That's called scientism. As I said, you cannot measure God because God is transcendental.

I agree that proof is needed, however it cannot be empirical. If you can only accept empirical proof, then I can only disagree with you.

However, if you're open-minded, I can say that your disbelief can be justified if you cannot find anything at all. I am not saying you should accept anything either. I personally believe that God should've given us a form of proof understandable with our reason.
