    Plus, the assumption that God is more "complex" than the universe is just that, an assumption. God is a Spirit, a non-material, non-physical being.

    Yes you have a point; but the unimaginable actually argues against natural process. It seems the more "educated" we are; by obtaining evidence isn't swaying away from "God's existence"; but bringing us closer to understanding "God's existence". The amazing thing about "science" is it's ability to "evolve". An honest scientist cannot discount the probability that God exists.

    And ancient Mags and Tango (today) may have ancient Mags win 400 years from now. Ancient Mags and Tango 400 years ago; would have Ancient Tango win (today).

    That is incorrect. A negative cannot be proven, but it can easily be known.

    I said I KNOW GOD(S) DO NOT EXIST.

    Yet another example: You go outside on a bright sunny day, not a cloud in the sk...PROVE IT'S NOT RAINING.

    You can't prove it. It's a negative

    But if you have any perception and the ability to reason, YOU KNOW IT'S NOT RAINING.

    I'll give you 100 billion years MARIS and it's still improbable.

    and P.S. this is giving evidence that the universe is more probable to be created by a "creator"

    You have no idea that what you just said was one of the most illogical posts so far.

    Remember that this thread is about "intelligent design"; not Jesus and our "Hebrew God".

    You're saying god is nothing greater than a pep rally?

    I can accept that answer simply on "faith". :devilwink:

    You could give it infinity.

    It would still be irrelevant to your thread title in any way, shape or form.

    You're a hypocrite MARIS, you have failed to answer any of my questions yet I'm the one who bases his beliefs on "faith". If the source of something has to be more complex than the cause we would never be able to answer or explain anything.

    You're the one claiming god is intelligent. I know him to be a fictional mind-control device.

    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Atheism

    So on the defense, according to this: Webster Dictionary reference to the term "Atheism"

    Would it be clear that this definition of "Atheism" is not a sound belief?

    Once again a blind, baseless assertion. You just continue to bury yourself in a deeper hole of nonsense. Say something intelligent please.

    Well at least in your "world" MARIS. But most of us live in another one. A world that actually uses logic and reasoning.

    If that's the case I'm having God do my taxes.

    And I expect a large refund!

    Before modern science; I bet there are quite a few. But I can bring up some bets some of the "creationists" back in the day said and would have made a killing today.

    Nope -- unfortunately you won't be able to collect until the end of the world, since we still have time to explain them.

    But then, that's when you expect to collect your reward anyway, so it's all good! :)
