How many people on anti-psychotic medications do you know? I know quite a few and I do not see any living a the good life of the psychiatrist's beliefs that they live with. You can hardly even talk to them but these psychiatrists from 3rd world countries believe they have saved them through the power of their medications.

Why would he work in a profession and prescribe medications without a belief he is healing people. he obviously lives by faith cause he for some reason he didn't or probably couldn't explain scientifically how he heals people with his medications.[/b]
Of course medications work differently on different people, and there is often a period of trial and error to find the most effective medication and dosage. - I have also made clear to you that there is no 'miracle drug' and that medication may only be part of a treatment, or play no part at all. (And am happy to report I have never electrocuted anybody, or forced medication on anybody who didn't want to take it).
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeBecause I see evidence of creation without having seen the Creator.
If I have to accept the possibility that God does exist, then why wouldn't you have to accept the possibility that he doesn't?
That said, I could admit that I have been struggling with knowing for certain that God and/or Jesus are that Creator.
In my opinion, the Bible makes it difficult when trying to understand the character of God.
But this does not sway my view that a Creator exists.
Originally posted by chaney3Are you not open to the possibility sir of more unlikely evidence coming along that disputes the existence of a Creator? Say, the arrival of an alien race who provide conclusive evidence to the contrary.

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeWell, the vatican has in recent years stated that an alien race would not affect their position on God, because God created them too.

But, that is for another debate.
Origin of life.....if an alien race came to earth and had an explanation of origin of life, with evidence, then I could not oppose having an open mind and reviewing such evidence.
Originally posted by chaney3Then sir if the same alien race came with evidence that the universe wasn't created but had always existed, you likewise, 'could not oppose having an open mind and reviewing such evidence.'

Bottom line, you erred when you said one couldn't say something was impossible and then change one's mind when confronted by new evidence.

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeI take issue with the term 'impossible' because it comes with it a closed mind. If you are so readily willing to change your mind with new evidence, then that word should be avoided.
