Contrary to what some keep insisting, that there is no evidence.............................. there are actually many evidences for GOD.
And all these evidences corroborate with one another - strengthening what is already partly established - to form a powerful presentation of an undeniable evidence for God.



Let's all be reminded too, that science has not ruled out GOD.
In fact, science acknowledges RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE.


The National Academy of Sciences also says


Science is not the only way of acquiring knowledge about ourselves and the world around us. Humans gain understanding in many other ways, such as through literature, the arts, philosophical reflection, and religious experience.
Scientific knowledge may enrich aesthetic and moral perceptions, but these subjects extend beyond science's realm, which is to obtain a better understanding of the natural world.

Scientists, like many others, are touched with awe at the order and complexity of nature. Indeed, many scientists are deeply religious. But science and religion occupy
two separate realms of human experience.
Demanding that they be combined detracts from the glory of each.


Many religious persons, including many scientists, hold that God created the universe and the various processes driving physical and biological evolution and that these processes then resulted in the creation of galaxies,
our solar system, and life on Earth. This belief, which sometimes is termed
'theistic evolution,' is not in disagreement with scientific explanations of evolution.

Indeed, it reflects the remarkable and inspiring character of the physical universe revealed by cosmology, paleontology, molecular biology, and many other scientific disciplines.





You can't compartmentalize each given evidence, and do them separately without acknowledging the others.
Logic,
doesn't work that way.



What are all these evidences I'm talking about?
There are so many - and some are so intricately connected that they overlap - it's hard to know where to start!
Here are some that I can think of right now:


THE BIBLE (information only the CREATOR would know - written descriptions of creation that were later reaffirmed by modern science)


COMPLEXITY and ORDER of the cosmos and biology - which of course, points to DESIGN
FINE-TUNING (universe, earth and earth's life) - which of course, points to DESIGN.


ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE
ORIGIN OF LIFE


RARE EARTH - earth being unique.
HUMAN EXCEPTIONALISM - distinct apart from others in possessing the capacity for symbolic recognition, for complex language, art, and music, for technological advancement, and for spiritual and philosophical engagement.


LAWS OF MATHEMATICS
HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS - no physical presence yet mysteriously guides the physical actions of our bodies.


PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF GOD


LOGIC and PHILOSOPHICAL


DAY-AGE THEORY - the fact that many scientists can see the creation narrative as compatible with scientific findings.

DNA: Comparing Humans and Chimps

Humans, chimps and bonobos descended from a single ancestor species that lived six or seven million years ago. As humans and chimps gradually evolved from a common ancestor, their DNA, passed from generation to generation, changed too.

An visual conception of said ancestor - Paranthrosis-boisei.

That's been responded to in another thread.

That's irrelevant in this topic. If you want to us to get into that - let's create a separate thread for it.
 
Fine tune this...



What about it?
Can't you give us an overview what you're trying to say?
Surely, you're no suggesting all rabbits need assistance or serious intervention from a vet? 😁




Or..........do you mean this?


They can process and extract nutrients from many plants that are indigestible to less adaptable herbivores or omnivores.
This ability helps make rabbits highly successful in a variety of environments around the world.


Taking a purely scientific look at the digestive system of a rabbit reveals a fascinating process.
These animals have a
particularly efficient way of dealing with the indigestible parts of their plant diet.

Interesting article, used to raise rabbits but was not aware of how complex their digestive system was. The pellets make great fertilizer!
 
That's basically what this thread is...although not the pellet kind.

People!!!
Stop taking the BAIT.


Actually - this thread serves as a reference to click on........... whenever some idiotic atheist claims there is no evidence for GOD!

I think it is highly relevant to counter your claims of "human exceptionalism."

By the way, the comb jelly is now regarded as the planets first animal, the father of us all and the first to have an anus!

Nothing listed in the OP is evidence.

It basically says because there are things we can't explain, god must exist.

How?
EXPLAIN!
I can't read minds, you know.

Irrelevant.
That argument belongs to this thread:



Deal with the evidences given above.
Address them.
I don't want this thread to be derailed.

You know that over 90% of the animals that have existed on this planet are extinct. How fine tuned is that?

Can you name a single SCIENTIFIC AGENCY that claims to have evidence of god?
 
There is no objective evidence for God. Just empty claims and wishful thinking, with a sprinkle of logical fallacies thrown in.

Anyway............

Even IF that turns out to be true - that doesn't negate or refute the possibility of God.

Theistic evolutionists can relate God with Darwinian evolution.

If there was evidence of god NASA would be screaming it from the rooftops

It doesn't affirm the possibility if God either.
Theistic evolutionists can relate God with Darwinian evolution.
Unless one subscribes to creationism or ID.
 
If there was evidence of god NASA would be screaming it from the rooftops
No doubt it would make quite the waves in the scientific community.

Hahahaha who sez it does?

If evidence of god was found by a scientist....he would immediately win the Nobel prize and be famous

That just boils down to "God did it," which is also religious apologetics.
 
Claims are not evidencce
That cannot be overstated enough, especially to those who have or go by nothing but claims.

Well - if there is no other explanation other than, "GOD did it".....................

...................................why do you not consider the possibility it just might be because.........................
God did it?




If you're truly looking for the truth - you shouldn't close your mind to possibilities...........................................

.........................................especially, when you can't even offer any basis for your stance.
🤷





Hahahaha - what's wrong with GOD DID IT - if that's the only explanation for it? 😁
