Ellis, I repeat the following:
Thanks, Ellis! May we always agree to disagree, agreeably. And have fun doing so.
The thread title raises the question: Is there evidence for God as an objective being, or person, to whom one can point and say: There is a god called God?
I agree, atheism is right! Not even theism says that there is such
a god. Check out:
http://www.iep.utm.edu/god-west/#H3 and I will add: This thread was not started by me, it was started by Tim (Wed Aug 16 2006), who was then 16--a young conservative, if not fundamentalist Christian, at the time. I joined the thread--was it just before you?--in February, 2007.
BTW, because of the way I deal with the god hypothesis, I would not use "Evidence for God" as a title. In my opinion,as a student of process philosophy and theology I do not think of G0D as a subject, or object of scientific research. Science is about physicalism
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/physicalism/In my opinion, science has no place, other than that of servant, in G0D, or GØD--the symbol I prefer to use when dialoguing with scientists. Ø, null, the no-thing from which all things emanate.
To scientists who say, "Scientists ought to be given the absolute power of the intellectual and social order of things." I have this to say: May GØD, as Love (agape), guide you. But be very, very careful of the power of arrogant pride.
BTW, are there really any scientists out there who would like to have this power?
There are some religionists who have claimed this power. And some are still with us.
