If God is proven, then why are most scientists atheists? Your points prove nothing, Volux, when they are even coherent. In regards to your first point, don't EVER cite the Bible to prove anything. According to the Bible, there is a mountain in Israel from which one can see Ireland. There is the Cain paradox, in which Adam and Eve are the only humans, they have Cain and Abel, Cain wastes Abel and goes to Nod and gets married to somebody who doesn't exist. There's the fact that Noah's Ark is built to a very specific set of specifications. There are eight million species. A vessel of the size specified in the Bible cannot possibly contain 16 million individuals. The Bible is so full of contradictions and obvious bull that pointing to it is actually damaging to one's argument. The argument that the Bible is the history of Israel is nonsense. Bits and pieces are corroborated, certainly. Again, other bits and pieces are not, and some are flat-out impossible. Second, Jesus is not proven; not proven at all. It may be that his existence is suggested, but Roman and Jewish records don't prove that Jesus existed, much less that he was the Son of God. Furthermore, any man alive today who says he is the Son of God is viewed as a liar or insane. I see nothing that makes Jesus different; except anecdotes which I have no reason to believe. Your fourth point is incoherent. You'll have to clarify. Your fifth point is also nonsense, although I comprehend. These miracles prove nothing. They are not scientifically explainable, I confess, but that's just the point. They can't be linked to God, either. They just happen. I refuse to credit them to God until they are proven to be God's doing, as many things that people insisted were God's doing turned out to be explainable by the most banal explanations. The proof is not stacked up high, Volux. The proof doesn't exist.
