Why do none of these arguments, or any arguments for the existence of God, count as possible evidence?  Or, conversely, what evidence would you require?[/quote]

We could have lengthy discussions about any of them.  I don't see how it makes sense to respond to a laundry list of things you found in a book but don't personally believe in.  If your point is "here are a dozen or so reasons, surely one of them must be a winner" then I'd like to get to the ones that you think are important.[/quote]

Because you want to convince me I should not believe in God?  (Trying to figure out how to choose)[/quote]

As I said:  arguing in bad faith.  An honest dialogue consists of two parties being open with one another.  Not one party throwing up chaff, and trying to avoid being "converted to atheism".[/quote]

That is not what I meant, though I do not have unlimited time...I have had a lucky confluence of dentist appointments and long naps from the baby, but I do have an existence independent of DCUM.

Again, I started this thread because I have been wrestling with doubt.  I invited an honest dialogue, and I have been scrupulously (and embarrassingly) honest in each of my posts.  I am not worried about being "converted to atheism.". Doubt is not the opposite of faith--it is an essential part of it.  I have hated God, rejected God, forgotten God, resented God, ignored God, worshipped God, begged God, erased God, and made myself God.

We can continue the dialogue, gladly so, but I am not all-knowing, so I will be stumped sometimes, no doubt about that ;). Bottom line, though, is that we can type until our fingers are sore, and it does not mean we will find a resolution.  Since God is not walking with us here, we will be left hanging at "I know, but do I believe?"[/quote]
