[quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

OP, you need to go look up the difference between arguments and evidence.  In brief, arguments are something you make, evidence supports arguments, and makes them more than half-assed theories scribbled on cocktail napkins.

When asked for the "evidence" you claim establishes "beyond a reasonable doubt" that God exists, you come up with philosophical arguments.  Which is fine, and entertaining, but ducks the question.  Well, not so much ducks as ignores and answers a related yet completely separate question.

For the record, I believe in God, but that's an act of faith.  Which is the whole point of faith - believing, against all rationality, in the unprovable.  (Organized religions, on the other hand, range from amusing and ineffectual to font of all evil in my book.)

If you feel you have to prove (or worse yet, actually HAVE proven) the existence of God using science and "evidence," I can only conclude that your faith is lacking, and you don't actually "believe" in God.
