God does, but the poll doesn't.
 
You're going to have to be more specific when you refer to god. Do you mean a prime mover? A diety?

Either way, the answer is between "No" and "we can never know" once you get an actual poll up.

The epistimologically sound answer is "we can never know", since you cannot prove He does not exist.

I can never prove that leprechauns don't exist either. That doesn't mean I should be a leprechaun agnostic.

The burden of proof is on those who claim the invisible man in the sky DOES exist.

Sure.
But that wasn't Lachean's position.
 
GOD DOES EXIST!

THE BIBLE SAYS SO!

:rofl

Actually that was my position, he's heard me comment on the issue many times. The only reason I included "No" as well as "We can never know" is because personally I believe the answer is No, but one cannot prove a universal negative.

So to those who make the claim and answer yes, since there is no proof, for what reason do you make the claim?
 
I voted yes. But of course, it has everything to do with what I think God is. Hmmm, now ... what is God?
 
No idea-its beyond my analytical abilities. what Does God mean? a life force? a guy sitting at a desk watching the world? Eric Clapton on guitar? for some, if you think God exists then he exists for you

He is hot in a hippie type of way! Course he most likely didn't look like the blue eyed sandy blond hair hottie we see alot and of course that's assuming he ever existed at all. But I dig the laid back sandals and hey any man that can turn water into wine is my kind of guy.

TurtleDude do you know what a Turtle ditch is? Have you ever fallen in a turtle ditch?

God exists when you jump out of airplanes, your child stops breathing or someone is pointing a gun at you.

I'm secular and not religious but believe god exists in every human being... Humans go through stages from believing in spirits, to believing in multiple gods, to believing in one god and secular science stage of dismissing god as not existing... according to what stage you are in you always feel smarter than the stage below you... the highest stage always going into extinction because they fail to procreate at a rate necessary to sustain existense because life has no meaning and all actions are for self gratification... also, like when the Western Europeans arrived in now America they killed worshipers of lesser gods without remorse...

When Islam comes to America will they kill you because you don't believe in god or because you beleive in a lesser god? In either case would you go to Islam and have the guts to renounce their god? If not you are full of nonsense.

I loved my turtle and couldn't wait to meet him!

I could write a book saying that the great horned God Baal mated with Hillary Clinton on the feast of Beltine and she spawned The pet goat Bush read about but that wouldnt make it true either.

LOL... He turned water into wine..

Yet so many christians use thier religion as a reason to restrict alcohol sales on sundays and condemn people for drinking every now and then....

I find that to be hilarious..... so far from Jesus's teachings they are...

I don't intend to ever jump out of an airplane. My child did stop breathing in the ICU and trained doctors quickly revived him. I had someone point a gun at me-I was quicker than he was. I don't believe God had anything to do with any of them. I watched my father die a long slow death from cancer-I don't blame God for that either.

- I really don't understand what you are pontificating about here but if Islamists come to kill me I hope to send a few dozen of them to allah first. hopefully, enough other americans feel the same way that the stock of virgins will run dry before our weapons do

He must be invisible while hiding in there...

I had to check that things for holes after it opened on every one of my jumps......
 
There certainly seem to be things that are "unexplainable." So I'm pretty open to different planes of existance, a possible spiritual world, yadda yadda yadda....:mrgreen:
