    All the visible matter in the universe isn't enough to prove God the Creator's existence? Those historical documents of Washington wouldn't exist if God didn't exist you know.

    The stretch is that nobody is claiming George walked on water or rose from the dead. Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence.

    If you told me you had some milk in your fridge, I would believe you without hesitation -- there's nothing unusual about that. On the other hand, if you told me you had Elvis in your fridge, I'd require a bit more evidence before I'd be willing to believe your claim.

    That isn't really related to this thread; but wow that's kinda scary. That is heresy to Judaism because they refused to believe Jesus was the messiah.

    The archaeological record is full of artifacts that convince everyone but you that he lived. We know where his palace was, we have recovered his belongings. We know with certainty many specific dates of events in his life.

    He grew a huge empire and was known throughout the much of the known world. He had children who went on to rule that empire.

    Wait a minute... Who said we are arguing that Jesus walked on water? This is the question of his actual existence. But again we are going way off topic here.

    My friends know I'm neither angry nor little.

    They also know I'm always right and I never lie.

    Crazy, I remember reading historical records of another man like this. His profound teachings have spread like wild fire throughout a world far greater than Khan. His brother, and brothers and spirit lead the charge to influence the world. And I've seen artifacts even today describing this man. Didn't know that was all you needed to know.

    Well shit Denny, did I just make you a believer?

    How do you know they are authentic? Have you seen them yourself? Prove it. (I do believe Khan existed, I just want to expose how senseless your reasoning is)

    Also, wanna answer my three questions?

    You just stretch the truth... ;) Kinda like the last question answered "would you consider yourself a true atheist"; then you replied as a fence sitter; but in the beginning of the thread; you argued with other Atheists that being a true atheist is to believe "God does not exist"

    I'm still waiting for any evidence at all that can't be described as a fictional book.

    And if I stand before you and claim to be God, would you believe me? What kind of proof or evidence do I need to produce to convince you?

    BTW, I'm not God. God thinks HE is Denny Crane.

    You are burying the topic. It is argued that a man "Jesus Christ" does not exist. You can think any other way; but the arguments made were he did not exist.

    Well that was cool, but has no relevance.

    So you refuse to provide evidence that God doesn't exist? Yes or No. Here is your chance.

    There are numerous artifacts on display in museums.

    What artifact of Jesus is on display in any museum?
