Having carefully compared the different religions of present to the historical Hebrew Scripture, which is not religious in its natural content and form, it is my considered conclusion that all the exact historical and other scientifically-documentation that corroborates the Original Hebrew Scripture defies all religions, to prove their claims, or fall silent, leaving ONLY Hebrew Scripture where it always has been, the solitary source of Truth.

You can't simply brush over centuries of philosophical discourse in 15 minutes, regarding the question of the existence of god. The speaker totally ignored the fact that in quantum mechanics, things DO happen at random.

@TheRampod Agressive? Sorry if I came across that way that was not my intent.

[TheRampod]

@NEGATIONofP BTW we're having a friendly conversation, no need to be so aggressive :)

[TheRampod]

@NEGATIONofP As for evidence the Quran is bursting from the seams with evidence for Allah (God in the Arabic language) so its actually hard to start. Here's something to explain existence of God rationally: /watch?v=sKBeBIYIkbE (by the way he is a really smart guy, Hamza Tzortis, watch his other debates) and as for the Quran here is a good one /watch?v=C-pYCf4MBwo (just try to ignore the accent :P) And as for Al Ghazali I think you are mistaken, just google him and see.

[NEGATIONofP]

@TheRampod You might want to fact check your statement. al-ghazali was arguably the primary reason for the decline of intellectual scholarship and some believe one of the primary contributors to the extremest sharia law followers in the middle east over the last 1000 years by declaring that mathematics was the work and a tool of Satan. Therefor basically bringing science to a standstill by outlawing it in the middle ages. Why do I seem to know your history better than a "believer"? LOL indeed

[TheRampod]

@NEGATIONofP lol what are you talking about? Al Ghazali never came into power and no the contributions Muslims made to society lasted up to the fall of Al Andalus in 1492. I admit, after that the Muslims have become weaker and there aren't as many Muslim scholars and thinkers but the religion back then is the same as the religion now so the problem is not with Islam, its with the people these days.

[NEGATIONofP]

@TheRampod I would LOVE to see you evidence. I have been investigating this claim for over 20 years now & have found NO empirical evidence in fact I have seen only spotty textural references that were written over 100 years ago by a bunch of goat herders not the intellectuals that I referred to earlier. Why will your god not provide just one piece of evidence of his existence? The only people who believe in him must "interrupt" scripture in order to FORCE it to fit reality.

[NEGATIONofP]

@TheRampod You are correct Arabic scholars were the pride of the world foe centuries in fact Bagdad was the center of the intellectual world. That is until the Islamic religion and al-ghazali got in power then ALL progress has been halted for over 1000 years now. Explain that little fact will you.

[NEGATIONofP]

@TheRampod I am not shying away from the topic I just feel as I stated earlier YOU need to find the evidence for your self. The best teachers force students to think for themselves not parrot the instructors beliefs. With that said one of the most compelling articles (scientifically published and reviewed) is " abiogenic synthesis of prebiological compounds in volcanic processes" by Podkletnov and Markhinin
