Haven't read the other 781 posts but just wonder...how many people try very hard to disprove God because of a rotton event in their life..loss of a loved one etc.Like to know why Dawkins is so keen to disprove!
My view is simply we just don't understand ,nor can we really explain so many things.Nothingness to galaxies appearing,the beginning of time,the extent of space.
No one has a clue,just pretend they do based on what a few blokes in white coats wrote in books.It's these theories that are as much up to knocking down as the bible.
Accept it...we can't prove or disprove anything...just live with it! (I believe in God btw)

Brains evolve. It's quite possible for two humans to occupy the same point in time and space but also have significant variance in their cognitive abilities. Some minds are suited to understanding the big questions via reason and exploration whilst others react well to simple stories. Do not feel downhearted if you fall in to the latter catagory, it isn't your fault, it's God's.

+JTaylor,
This thread is riddled with silly belittling comments to try and prove points often accompanied with unnecessarily long words where people obviously think they make themselves sound clever and therefore there point is more valid.
A desperate attempt to cover up the fact that a lot of content is so weak?
I stopped posting long ago because very few of my posts got answered with any intelligence and where that obviously frustrated people I got rude insults.
Sorry if that hasnt been the case for the last 20 pages (as I havent been following it all) but it doesnt look like much has changed.

Its seen straight through thats what it is. If this was the case there would be "eloquent" language used in all posts and day to day conversations...and nice use of a smily there, well done.

To be fair, JTaylor, you're very free with your assumption on me, with which you are wrong. Does this disqualify your opinion? I have no problem understanding the 'big words', which qualifies me to comment on them as I can see how totally over used they are when trying to prove points. If people are so secure and sure of their points surely they would want to keep their wording as simple as possible to ensure there was no misunderstanding. Again it is seen straight through.
You appear to enjoy jumping to which ever conclusions suit you best, right or wrong, whether you can back it up or not.
Anyway, by saying they were the same God I still maintain is not correct as Allah referring to the Muslim God as we understand it, God the Christian God as 'God' has lead the faiths down very different paths and therefore not the same God. This was to what I was referring. I assume other people were referring to the literal translation of God, either way its interesting how over something so irrelevant people feel they are 1up while conveniently sidestepping finer points made.

May I ask why you are still posting on this thread? I dont get how it can still be going. What is it about people who believe in God that gets up your nose so much. I havent been posting much this time around and thats me who has a cause. I dont really understand what yours is. Im not trying to get at you I am just genuinely interested.
