I'm sorry, I would normally stay out of this, but since Unit3 decided to step in a spew out a bunch of non-sensical verbal diherea then I guess its my time for a rebuttle :) Honestly, I'm not a church kind of guy, but I am definately not an Atheist. I believe there is more to life than we know, and there may be a possibility of a higher power, in fact a very good possibility, but I'm not sure what it is. You (Unit3) are trying to ask people to prove to you that there is a god. You want scientific theories, postulates or evidence? I say thats ignorance. God, or the belief in 'a god', is what got the human race to where it is today, and yet you propose that we now burn our bridges and ignore everything that your ancestors once founded this country upon? There are some things you can not prove, and this is one of them. Does that mean that you are weak because you follow the religion of your family? I think that is an incredibly insulting statement towards any type of organized religion, and a bold statement to make considering you obviously don't understand the fundamentals of every religion there is. You can throw out all the web links you want in this battle and it won't help you a bit. Wake up call: the majority of the world DOES believe in a higher power, and you are the minority if you don't. I don't mean that to shove it to you, because I can't tell you if there is a god because I don't know. But don't try and fight off religion by saying its a minority when its not. True ignorance is not being able to see both sides of the fence. I fully understand conversation on the presence of a god, but anti-religious comments that have no justification have no place on this board. If you like proof, I'd like you to prove to me that there isn't a higher power. I think you'd find it far more challenging than proving that there is.
