[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been reading DCUM for a while now, and I feel steeped in broken marriages, angry/depressed/overwhelmed parents, misbehaving children, and general snarkiness.  Almost never do I see a reference to a deep and profound faith, or even a thought about a Creator.  I do see plenty of snide comments about faith being only for the stupid, the weak, the unthinking, but I can't recall a single specific reason as to why belief in a Creator is so obviously dumb.

So now is your chance:  if you do not believe in God, why not?  Have you wrestled with this question and constructed a tight argument, or do you just not particularly care?[/quote]

I need scientific proof.  Give it to me and then I will believe[/quote]

Science doesn’t have the tools or tests to prove or disprove God. Science can only show you things about the natural world. You are asking for something science is unable to provide,  and scientists tell you they can’t provide, ever.[/quote]

I suspect that pp asking for proof already knew this. Religion, like Santa Claus and fairy tales requires belief and faith without scientific proof[/quote]

I don’t know anyone who asks for proof of Santa or fairy tales.

Saint Nicholas was a 4th-century Greek Christian bishop of Myra (now Demre) in the region of Lycia in the Roman Empire, today in Turkey. Nicholas was known for his generous gifts to the poor, in particular presenting the three impoverished daughters of a pious Christian with dowries so that they would not have to become prostitutes. He was very religious from an early age and devoted his life entirely to Christianity. In continental Europe (more precisely the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany), he is usually portrayed as a bearded bishop in canonical robes.

A fairy tale, fairytale, wonder tale, magic tale, fairy story or Märchen is an instance of folklore genre that takes the form of a short story.

The Bible is a collection of religious texts or scriptures sacred in Christianity, Judaism, Samaritanism, and many other religions. The Bible is an anthology—a compilation of texts of a variety of forms—originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek.

Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
