I think many courts already accept the existence of my deity, or it would be a mockery to make me "swear/promise by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth", if they didn't.

As to you, op. Why ask me to prove you wrong and bless you with my knowledge? Do I owe you or something?

Yes he exists. if not why does He have more followers than atheists? Why does he have more employees in all nations believing they are working for him and expecting rewards from him. Why are people from all races, time, profession, civilization devote their time and means to a 'non - existent being? Yes he exists and many have interactions with him time and again from almost all races and are convinced, though not seen, Why do courts ask people to swear with holy books if the courts don't recognize his existence? yet they believe. yet he exists: God of the Bible is the only God to claim creation, undeniable spread of human race, He wrote a programme for the human activties in accurate prophecy. He is the only one who boldly tells us how the world will end.

Just because billions of people accross d globe believe in a god doesn't mean dat god exists. Billions of people also believe in Allah. why are u not a Muslim then? Many other gods besides the god of the Bible ave claimed creation as well. Y not believe in those??

In d ancient times, people accross the world believed d Earth was flat. Now they ave ALL been proven wrong.

U don't knw d difference between claims and evidence. Pls learn d difference. U are just making baseless claims. I'm not surprised tho. This is one of the types of responses I predicted:

"2. Answers dat display ignorance on what constitutes evidence for the existence of something"

How has dis justified ur God's existence?

I guess I should believe in Allah then since he's just as popular as d god of d bible right?

I had already predicted ur reply. No surprises:

""2. Answers dat display ignorance on what constitutes evidence for the existence of something""

By d way, u Christians try to "bless us with ur knowledge" everyday thru evangelism and other means. If u truly knew about d existence of ur god, u shld be able to present at d first request. If u don't have any evidence (or u have but don't want to share), u don't have to reply to d thread. U're not obligated to.

I have a simple question for d christians...

does any of u have any credible, objective, verifiable, empirical evidence that your particular god (in this case, Yahweh) exists? Can dis evidence be accepted in a court of law or in a Science classroom in any secular university?

If any christian here can present such evidence, i will surely convert to Christianity and share my testimony here on nairaland with reference to the moniker dat won my soul.

As someone who has been asking these questions for years, im going to predict the kind of answers the Christians of this forum will give me

1. Answers dat mistake knowledge with beliefs

2. Answers dat display ignorance on what constitutes evidence for the existence of something

3. Answers dat betray lack of understanding about d burden of proof

4. Answers dat are at conflict with science

5. Answers dat reveal lack of understanding of who atheists are and what atheism is

6. Answers dat conflate religion with d existence of God's

And finally,
7. Ad hominem, direct threats and insults grin


I want to be proven wrong but unfortunately dis has been my experience with Christians. Like I said anyone who can answers dat question in a straight and honest matter will not only win my soul to Christ but will earn my highest respect.

You no dey dey for class wen we bin prove am?

Mr Proof and Mr Lawyer, you know the answer already but you just want use opportunity take bash and Prosecute us Followers of Christ and Lovers of God.

So make I give you the short cut answer since I don tire for today work and I Neva chop, so I no get power for long stupid argument in proof. Make you manage this one,

You Lawyers or ask your lawyer whether It is Not The Highest Law that 1) Nothing Comes out of Nothing!- Therefore Something comes out of Something.

2) it is the Highest Law that "You can not place a Thing on Nothing, and that Thing shall Stand!

It is your Law that the evidence of 2 is True. Make I go see wetin dey lockdown my wackees!

the few atheists are more reasonable than the rest of us. that you don't believe a thing is choice and your disbelieve does not erase the existence of the thing. it does not exclude you from its influence either. Evidence: in the court of public opinion: like for existence of God; share for non- existence
Re: A Challenge To The Christians! by Liposure: 3:07pm On Jun 03, 2020
I believe god exist. Why? becos without him the world we live in wouldnt hav exist. 4 sometin 2 come into existence. There's definitely must be a cause and god is that cause. The bible even confirms it in gen 1:1. When it said n i quote, In the beginning god created the heavens n the earth. U see, The world neva created itself, god did

Tell me the meaning of evidence: you see electric bulb lit up in your house but deny there is a source - what evidence are you looking for? You mentioned science, I don't know your level the in knowledge of science - how many particle scientists have claimed to have seen an electron or even smaller particles (muons, bosons....) with most sophittiaated microscope. yet, they believe. those of us here in nigeria, some professors may not have seen one they yet believe. So can you deny the phone you are holding now because you can see an electron or understand its nature? Most of these celebrated scientists are believers: isaac newton, Michael Faraday, Albert Einstin etc.

Re: A Challenge To The Christians! by Tamaratonye5(f): 5:52pm On Jun 03, 2020
Tmach137, it shouldn't come as a surprise to you that the christians on this thread would prefer to clown around and make rubbish of a legitimate challenge, rather than face it head-on. Speaks volumes about their true perceptions about their beliefs.

Quite simply, whoever presents an assertion is required to support that assertion. A basic rule of proper discourse.

Not treating that assertion as true, in the absence of support of the purported truth of that assertion, does not involve the same requirement. Indeed, one of the basic rules of discourse that the mythology fanboys, like the christians present here, either fail to understand or frequently seek in duplicitous manner to violate in order to push their agenda, is that any assertion, when presented, possesses the status "truth value unknown" until that assertion is subjected to test. The assertion remains in that limbo until a proper test thereof is conducted.

Of course, mythology fanboys, like the christians present here, routinely misrepresent the rigorous atheist position with strawman caricatures thereof, because they have no answer to that rigorous position.

Expect more unbridled display of arrogance and cowardice from these christians.

Because many people believe in something doesn't make it true.

There is no empirical evidence for God, tingz, as I have told you repeatedly in the past. It is why God people believe in their God. If they had empirical evidence, they'd know instead of just believe.

And since you yourself are not dragging me inside this thread nor forcing me to answer you, I can very well ignore you when I wish to, though I shan't because I do not want to since it interests me that the op even bothers to be asked to be convinced.

Well, the OP asked for empirical evidence before he can be convinced Yahweh exist. Which is very valid.
