Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

Originally posted by 37818 View PostSo you are arguing the existence of things - in this case the natural universe as perceived is evidence of existence.

Or that "space" is an evidence that existence exists? I, for one, do not believe in deities[plural], BTW.

God's existence is an unsubstantiated assumption and Im supposed to give reasons why I might accept such an assumption. Come now! Its a meaningless exercise. If you have evidence, present it. Personal testimony is NOT credible evidence.He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it. - Douglas Adams.

God just is.And even if such an argument is concocted that the uncaused existence cannot be God, the premise that the uncaused existence is God cannot go away. Atheists willingly ignorant of this does not make it not true.
