Atheists HATE when I say this about them, but it’s 100% factually accurate. Today, we examine the religion of atheism and some of the grave dangers that come with it. pic.twitter.com/2JS3mYjY0U

Jesus is not one of the thousands of gods, He is the uncreated Creator.

Right. So if the Christian, Muslim, Hindu etc all se their respective religious books to defend their faiths,dont you think there would be bias?
All of them would sing the goodness of their gods. So I need an unbiased source of confirmation

My logic would definitely come from the Bible. If I want to prove that that President Trump lives in the White House it is certain that I would show you pictures from the White House. Would you with your atheistic logic say that I’m not allowed depictions from the White House as evidence that the POTUS lives there?

It’s all about logic as the topic of this thread portrays. The atheist logic and God’s logic. Below is how I use logic to decode John 1:1.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

The simple logic of this verse can be summed up as thus:

THE WORD = GOD

In John 1:14 it states:

"The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us."

From these verses we can deduce the following:

JESUS = THE WORD

Simple logic declares that

if A=B and

B=C then

A=C.

Therefore, since

JESUS = THE WORD and

THE WORD = GOD, then

JESUS = GOD

QED.

That's cute. Three problems here though, just for starters

1) "The Word" is a translation of the Greek Logos - a philosophical concept Hellenistic thinkers used centuries before Jesus was born. John borrowed it from Stoic cosmology. So your QED is actually crediting Zeno of Citium. Congratulations, you've accidentally proven Greek philosophy, not Christianity.

2) Your transitive property requires clean substitution, but instead, John 1:1 gives us a God who is simultaneously distinct from the Word ["with God"] and identical to it ["was God"]. That's not A=B. That's A≠B AND A=B simultaneously, which in formal logic, is a contradiction, not a proof. Mathematics would reject this instantly.

3) "A is like B" does not mean "A equals B." When John calls Jesus the Word of God, he may be expressing function or representation, not ontological identity. A president's spokesperson isn't the president. The White House press secretary speaks for POTUS, but it doesn't make them POTUS. See how that analogy collapses?

What say ye?

I've disclosed plenty, chief - I said extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. That's a complete epistemological position, and not a dodge. I just refuse to let you reframe this debate around my biography instead of your argument's very public structural problems. My presupposition is irrelevant to whether A=B and B=C therefore A=C... which was YOUR framework, not mine. You invited mathematics into a theology discussion and mathematics doesn't care about my spiritual biography. It just checks whether the logic holds. Yours didn't. That verdict stands independent of my Sunday habits.

If you claim God has no proof you’re being dishonest or ignorant!

The proof:

1. 1st law of thermodynamics
2. 2nd law of thermodynamics
3. Law of information
4. Law of biogenesis
5. Natural law
6. Laws of chemistry
7. Laws of physics
8. Laws of logic
9. Laws of mathematics
10. The Cambrian explosion
11. The entire fossil record
12. Mendel's genetic laws
13. Laws of geology
14. Fine tuning
15. Irreducible complexity
16. Specified complexity
17. Epigenetics
18. Recorded history from day one (Old Testament)
19. Recorded history of God in the flesh (New Testament) 24,000 manuscripts.

To sum it up the proof is all of science, the entire so called fossil record and all recorded history from day one. Honestly it’s absolute proof of God. Only those who are completely dishonest and ignorant could reject the proof.

You've listed 19 categories spanning physics, biology, geology, history, and logic. None of them come with relevant citation. None of them individually, nor collectively, demonstrate a personal creator God. At best, they demonstrate a complex, ordered universe, and "complex and ordered" requiring a God is an inference. An inference is hardly the same thing as a conclusion. So... try again?

OLAADEGBU:

There's a particular irony in calling your opponents dishonest immediately after presenting an argument-by-list rather than an actual argument. Proof means demonstrable, falsifiable, independently verifiable. What you've offered here is a catalogue of scientific disciplines that millions of brilliant, rigorously honest non-believers study professionally without reaching your conclusion. Calling Stephen Hawking dishonest requires considerably more courage than courage alone can supply. "Absolute proof" is the strongest epistemological claim available to a human being. Your numbered list - earnest as it is - doesn't even come close to clearing it. Confidence is not the same as correctness, and volume is not the same as validity. Those are different things, regardless of how emphatically one insists otherwise.
