The strength of the evidence is in what atheism ignores as well as by what is revealed in the physical world. The proof of god lies in the lack of answers to the questions posed in the second paragraph in the other post. It is not something that can be tested in the laboratory or intellectualized. It is the fundamental mystery of life.
Do you really believe that this world just happens to be here, no purpose, no ryhme, no reason, just masses of matter swirling around in space. Consider this incredible mind, amazingly complex biological system that you take for granted, this eternally complex universe, infinite in all directions. I considered all this for a long time and the more reasonable conclusion is that there is god, god as source, substance and force but not the anthropomorphized judgmental god that is described in ancient texts.
This was the entire purpose for writing the rest of my last post which you then derided as intellectual twaddle which I dispute. Everything I wrote I have considered and written in as accurate a way as possible. I have considered and reconsidered these questions many times. I've thought about atheism and theism and agnosticism at length. I've studied religions from all over the earth. Please consider carefully what I wrote in the other post, before making arrogant, angry, dismissive comments.
Thanks for your reply
