Evidence For Creation and the Mind Of The Skeptic.
The speaker ask some atheists and evolutionists if it could be proven that creation was true and God was real, would they worship Him. They all said NO. So the issue really is not lack of evidence to prove creation.

Would you believe?
and
Would you worship?
Now obviously people are not likely to worship something they don't
believe in... But just because you believe in a god or gods does not
mean that you would [or should] worship them.
I for example would believe in a god's existence if that god was sufficiently
well demonstrated to exist with sufficient evidence.
I will not however worship that god [or gods].
If you are trying to get me to worship then don't bother, it's never going to
happen and there is nothing you can do or say to change me mind.
If you are simply trying to get me to believe then you can change my mind
as long as you can provide sufficient justification for believing that the god
or gods exist.
And I suspect that many [although by no means all] atheists would be similar.
And again, there is no such thing as an evolutionist.

Disproving Evolution [which is no longer possible] would not prove creationism.
You have to prove creationism to prove creationism, disproving Evolution
doesn't get you anywhere.

The mind of the skeptic is someone who doesn't just follow the next human in line. The skeptic says 'prove it'. You can't, Hinds. You can only cite passages in the bible which means absolutely zero as far as proof goes.
You are the one lacking critical thinking skills. You gave that up long ago.
So now, people who actually think for themselves are the enemy, and not worth actually debating with. You want to go after weak minded people who do not possess critical thinking skills, the ones who say, wait a minute, I want to see something besides your bible verses. Those weak minded people are the ones who will become disciples and they will be totally sincere and spread their falsehoods with a straight face.

Now, if you want to worship Galactus, Devourer of Worlds, feel free. I'd rather worship the God who created the universe and whose existence can therefore not be scientifically proven within it.
Originally posted by Shallow BlueSo prove it. Prove your so-called god created the universe. It's all in your mind, the minds of a few billion duped individuals who still fall for the original scam from thousands of years ago. AND that scam wasn't even Jewish, it was originally Egyptian. I saw that for myself in the Cairo Museum. There are cartouches 4000 years old showing the 6 day creation myth. So early Jews just stole it and modified the story for their people.

That story has no more validity than the Aborigine's in Australia, who have their own version of creation, as do ALL cultures.
You are so bible besotted you cannot think critically anymore, just swallowing the bible line like so many millions of others.
It must be nice to be able to just hand over your critical thinking to other people so you don't have to personally fret about such things since now you KNOW what is true, in your own mind that is.

Oh yes. Circular Reasoning. "The bible proves itself" Good one.
You should be on Letterman as a comedy act. You might even find recruits there.

thinking you know stuff, instead of actually getting down to checking things and
finding stuff out yourself.
The question before you is how to prove that the bible was written [inspired by] by
god?
To do this requires both that you prove a gods existence, and that you then prove that
that god wrote/inspired the bible.
You cannot do this by saying the bible proves itself as that is a circular argument and
a logical fallacy.
You have to assume that the bible is true before you can take it's word that it is true.
This especially falls down when it's proven to be false.
Until you can prove that the bible is the word of an actually existent god to the satisfaction
of people who don't already believe it's true. Citing passages from the bible as 'evidence'
is utterly and completely pointless.
You have to prove it's true FIRST.
And any claim that the bible 'proves' itself true is a logical fallacy.

Satan knows what actually happened, and he knows who God is, so from this example alone it seems evident that knowing is not the same as worshiping. Most atheists can understand this distinction, but at the same time many of them will now think I'm comparing them to Satan... so no matter how careful you are, they will manage to find something wrong with what you say.
Originally posted by lemon limeYes you are right. There is probably no perfect word for that audience. Would saying they are influence by Satan be better?
