Quote from RangeBar:
The basic fact of the matter is this: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF A CREATOR OR A LIFE AFTER DEATH. Accept that fact.
Completely wrong: the only fact that you established is the one that you reject all contrary evidence for whatever reason.
Maybe you should ponder what evidence it would take to convince you to change your mind?
Quote from walter4:
American Christianity is the cause of all of world's problems- wars, greed, financial collapse, etc. We need to stop the bullshit before it's too late.
Stop all religions from ruining the planet!
You mean like the religions of marxism/socialism, anthropocentric global warming, anti-capitalism, statism etc etc

What evidence do you have? I'll take a burning bush that doesn't get consumed. (It doesn't count if it is doused in a flammable liquid as then it is the liquid that is burning not the bush).

I'm not intent on proving any evidence to you, I'm just asking if you have even taken the time to ponder just exactly what criteria you demand of yourself.

Naturally throughout my teen years and even into my 20's I pondered, studied, and analyzed all world views. I came to the conclusion NOTHING in the universe REQUIRES a concious creator for it to be explained so why create one.
In other words, the knowledge that we do have can be explained by natural laws. Of course, our knowledge of the universe is very small but I have no doubt that any knowledge we gain in the future will be explainable with natural laws.
In any case, nobody has been able to show PROOF of a creator. And some very smart people down through the ages have tried. It is impossible to prove a negative so I will never be able to PROVE my belief. I can't PROVE that dragons don't exist either but I'm certainly not going to believe in them because of that.

I'm sorry you seem to be confused, I'm not asking you to prove a negative.
I just merely asked you to ponder what proof you need to change your mind on the existence of a creator.
