It's not that God must remain hidden. Rather it is that the evidence of God must remain beyond any possible scientific measurement or God ceases to be supernatural. If it were possible to have measured the methodology by which God parted the Red Sea, then it would be possible to reproduce...

If you mean that since the universe is unknowable, then ultimately so is everything else, I agree. What we know is relative to where we are in space-time. The further from our current frame of referece we travel, the less meaningful become our measurements taken from a different observation...

I agree. I'd wager that when a star winks out of this universe by falling into a gravity well and creating a black hole, that this simultaneously is the "big bang" of a new universe. Imagine a water balloon made of extremely plyable material. Then shake the balloon and watch all the places...

All answers to the question of creation are simultaneously correct and incorrect. Where a question has no limits, every answer is equally likely. Pascal must have known this...he just didn't want to have his head cut off for being a heretic.

dattaswami, You persist in the same error and yet it is not error at all. First, you state that God is unimaginable, noncomprehensible and beyond logic, and then you follow by explaining about what God "is." If God is God, he could be both unimaginable, noncomprehensibe, and beyond logic...

God cannot answer with any statistical correlation because that would tend to make god's existence more likely than not. if god is measurable then god is natural, and if god is natural, then god can be dethroned by learning the techniques by which god does his miracles. thus, god cannot answer...

I am not an atheist, however proving the existence of the feeling that most people associate with love is relatively trivial. Just hook someone up to a person to an EEG, and take several blood sample from them, while brining them in proximity with the object of their affection. Do this for a...

A miracle is an occurrence at once above nature. It shows the intervention of a power that is not limited by the laws either of matter or of mind, a power interrupting the fixed laws which govern their movements, a supernatural power. Childbirth is not a miracle. It is a completely natural...

Dattaswami, You begin by stating that God is unimaginable. You follow by stating that God made the universe for entertainment. Your first statement contradicts your second. If God is unimaginable, then you cannot "know" that God made the universe for any particular purpose, entertainment...

Your question takes as axiomatic that God exists as a certainty. However, certainty in this universe is defined onle by what is and is not measurable by natural means. God is not measurable by any device of this universe, because God is supernatural and can change the universe itself at any...

Chief Gray Cloud: [in reference to Avram's god] What does he do? Avram: He... He can do anything! Chief Gray Cloud: Then why can't he make rain? Avram: Because he doesn't make rain. He gives us strength when we're suffering. He gives us compassion when all that we feel is hatred. He gives...

This argument does not prove the existence or nonexistence of God. The odds remain 50/50 no matter what proof is offerred, because "odds" are a mathematical construct of the natural universe and do not apply to the supernatural universe. This is true, because God, if he/she/it exists, can...

Concur.

Concur, except as to the certainty that we are here.

Rebuttal: 1. The scientific observation and measurement of gravity does not tend to make the existence of God more or less probable, because God, as an all powerful being, is capable of avoiding measurement entirely, capable of turning gravity on and off at will, and even capable of making...

Uh huh...riiiiiiiight. The only thing that will make INTC a market player again is if they unload their entire board of directors. The company has consistently demonstrated that it cannot deliver on any new idea. All it can do is make PC microprocessors -- attempts to diversify consistently...

I agree. We are governed by our own laws only because we can successfully defend ourselves from any other nation who would seek to impose its law upon us. Way of the world since civilization began.

Interesting philosophical discussion. However, it rests totally on a foundation of quicksand. Whatever your political position may be, the due process clause of U.S. Constitution trumps any treaty made by the U.S. Government. All U.S. Citizens, including members of the U.S. Military, are...

Here's a different idea. How about we amend the Constitution to require that only the People can appropriate spending in a particular area. That is, Congress enacts a bill that authorizes spending, and instead of the President having to appropriate it, the People must do it by majority rule...

You misunderstood my intentionally paradoxic question and the conclusion which followed. If you were divine, you would have understood. Thus, you are not divine, therefore you are not Jesus Christ. However, I do enjoy your commentary and I think much of what you say is well intended and...
