The evidence that there is a God is inherent in every natural creation, especially in the human being...unless of course you don't value yourself as anything more than an accident or mutation.
Your very explanation confirms that your beliefs are of man and not of evidence of a God.
Even one cell whose design is so miraculous that scientists are still trying to figure out how it works. And the very fact that they are looking for an order to it shows they know there's a design or they wouldn't be looking for one! The beauty of one flower who miraculously grows with only food and water into a thing of majesty that can't be duplicated by any human being shows the presence of God.
The confirmation of our lack answers is not evidence of a God. It only means there are answers waiting to be found. The fact we value the complexitiy and are in awe of the beauty of things is only a value that man has and as such is a definition by man and again is not evidence of a God.
Romans 1:18, "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godless and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
Pulling out verse does not help prove your cause.
The evidence of God is all around us. But those who have contempt for his creation try to reduce it into a petrie dish which only bring about more unanswered questions than solutions. God & life are much bigger than we are which is why bacterial cells will eventually become resistant to any medicines and new "solutions" bring on bigger problems.
There is no evidence of God. THere is evidence of us and our surroundings and not knowing how we got here is not evidence that God must have done it.
It is man's arrogance thinking he can solve his own problems which si why we are closer to annihilating ourselves than we ever have been.
Where have you ever seen God enter a court of law?
There is still disease, STD's are reaching pandemic porportions, we have weapons that can wipe out more people in less time than ever before, more children who commit murder than ever before, too many people on the planet which necessitates arbitrary baby-killing through abortion, people living longer through "medical technology" which increases health care costs to insurmountable prices, & produces euthanasia.
THere has always been disease and man has always sought bigger and better weapons even in the "bible days". So God if he exists has not done anything to curb mans appetite for such things. Too many people on the planet? Who says" You? To much medical break throughs for you? You talk through two sides of your mouth when you complain about prolonging peoples lives through medical advances and then in the same breath complain about euthanasia which has not and never will become the practice you fear. Some people would rather not prolong the inevitable while in pain. The state will never reach the point of forced euthanasia because the state is composed of people who will experience it.
Sorry, but men, left to themselves, make a mess of things to the point of self-destruction.
Well man has been left to himself all along unless you can show where God has ever intervened. Hammuabis code was in effect long before the bible and Moses ten commandments.
But you can continue to believe that man knows better than God. God has warned us repeatedly what will happen if we do things our way, but most don't listen to Him. So he says, "Okay have it your way. Since you don't listen to me, you'll have to find out the hard way that you did not creae the universe and only I know how things should work."
It's a hollow warning since you can't show where "listening" to God has produced a different outcome for anything. Its a lot like prayer. You have three possibilities, yes , no , or not now but whatever the outcome its always GOds will. Talk about stacking the deck.
As God tells us in Romans 1:21-
"For although the knew God, they neither gloridied him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
And?
Therefore, God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurities resulting in the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and receieved in themselves due penalty for their perversion.
Which was?
Further more, since they did not think it worhtwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gosspis, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; the invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents, they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."
Sorry but no society has ever flourished that embraced these traits and I can't think of any society that embraces them today with or without a God. So the destruction of the society is not of God but simply the fact that these ideals don't lead to a prosperous society.
That sure sounds like today's society! God-haters and arrogant men who claim to be wise. Well, I got news for you, there is a Creator who determines the weather and our fate. Unfortunately, some people are so arrogant, have to wait until they die to find out just who their Creator is.
Again hollow claims. There is no evidence of a creator or at least one who gets involved in mans affairs. Claiming to have knowledge of the here after is again a hollow claim since no one has ever come back to confirm the claims. If there is a creator he is not going to care what we learned in science class or what we believed about evolution.
Pride & arrogance is what keeps men from seeing the existence of God around them every single day. ;-)
No I think it is the lack of evidence that a God exists that keeps man from seeing any evidence of a God.
