The guy does not have shiii. I dare him to present them if he has them and get logically murdered in the process.

You only saw the bolded but you didn't see this: You can't reason a man out of where he didn't reason himself into

I can't start giving you facts when you mind is only open to faith but closed to fact.

But if you are ready to embrace facts in lieu of fate, I can give you
I'm really curious as to these "facts"... Can you drop one or two of these mind opening facts.

I claim they're is no designer due to lack of evidence of one.

You say evidence of non-existence is possible to bring to the table. So why so you always run away from demonstrating what such evidence would entail?

And I'm the one being dishonest.

Wait wait wait make I help you small. If you or anyone else for that matter claims there is no evidence for a creator and indeed has never been that means they must have been looking for this evidence in quite a lot of places yet found none. What we need are those places you sought for evidence yet found none. Make we too look inside the place and see if na we need to change our eye glasses to your own.

I hope you understand it now.

OK, I want to prove now your god doesn't exist.

We'll make this practical cos talk is cheap. I will give you a practical task, while you give me a practical task.

But I will use the same method used by Elijah in your bible to prove Baal does not exist.

First, one of the proof of your god's existence is through miracles and answered prayers.

TASK
I really don't want to be an atheist again. Can you both just pray to your god. The god that hardened pharaohs heart. The god that answers by fire to just do a simple task by converting my heart and maybe every other atheists on nairaland.

RESULT
If by tomorrow, I become a theist again, your god exists. Else, he also exists but in your fantasies.

Start calling your god. Kikikikikikikiki grin

1. Appeal to ignorance

2. Where is the evidence that proves that this a consensus ?

I don't know what Christian god is . As a theist , I deify the First Cause/Necessary being/Sustainer and Container of all realities ( a conscious being ) , as a Christian I believe this conscious being revealed Himself to us in the person of Jesus Christ whom according to history lived , died and resurrected .
As a christian you cannot divorce yourself from the properties and personality of god in Christianity. According to Christianity it is the same god that revealed himself to Jesus that created the world. There are different definitions and properties of god or gods in different religions. The properties of god in Christianity which you subscribe to are different from the properties of the supreme god in Zoroastrianism. Therefore there is a need to create a distinction, otherwise this conscious being I think is religionless. If so then ultimately religion is irrelevant.

-I also argue that without association with a religion there is no way to know or nothing to inform that the first cause is a being or even conscious being.

I wish even you can see how dumb your post looks. So God should make you a theist based on what conviction? Yours or his? Do you even have any idea what it took Jesus to do before mankind got offered salvation? Do you even know what being a Christian is all about and how one becomes it?

So God should convert you due to mockery when you have full knowledge of the intent of your words? In the days of ignorance God winked...... You ogbeni are not ignorant. Repentance is you initiating a genuine change and God approving and not the other way round.

Do you see how cowardly you sound?

for sake of argument let's focus on the "Christian God" since he holds the crown above all other gods you wish to reference shall we?

So now go ahead and present your comment again properly.

I don't see the issue. Elijah did use this same method to prove the power of Yahweh vs the prophets of Baal. The thing is, some of us are open to proof. If there was one clear demonstrated proof of the power of god there wouldn't be any atheists. You can't sincerely tell me thousands of years ago god was sending down balls of fire, destroying entire cities, stopping the rotation of the earth and giving humans extraordinary strength but now is suddenly incapable?

How many times have I given examples of people who thought they could disprove the existence of GOd


Stephen Hawking : There is no God because the universe created itself because there is a law such as gravity

Rebuttal One : A thing cannot create itself

Rebuttal Two : Laws do not create anything , they are merely descriptions of what happens under certain conditions

David Hume : The universe is a necessary being since it is eternal , there is no God ( medieval age )

Rebuttal One : All scientific evidence indicate the universe has a beginning , there is no evidence or indication that the universe is eternal .

Rebuttal Two : An eternal universe though there is no such thing does not preclude the existence of God , it renders God impersonal if such exists .


If you can't provide "evidence" or reason there is no God like these people have done then don't bother .

Remember this discussion is about fact and not faith. You wish for me to apply faith even after your partner in atheism Chemystery up there insisted I drop faith for fact and now you are back to faith?

Okay. It is a fact that I am yet to see a worshipper of god harness his/her power in an obvious manner. We want to see the regeneration of an amputees limbs something that cannot be a product of chance and probability

You are actually the one being slippery. How can you insist on presenting facts and yet want me to use my faith to show you the facts you claim to have.

This is how facts are gotten: Get born again and spirit filled and then look for someone whom you compassionately want to be healed or whom you genuinely desire God's touch to be upon (controlled environment) pray via faith and with deep desire for God's touch and when God fails you have your proof.

My evidence would prove nothing to you if you do not have your own which is where your personal facts come in. So where are they?

He openly declared he holds some facts and asked me to put faith aside and after I agreed now wants me to use my faith again while yet not presenting none of his numerous facts.
