God is everywhere!

Hello zeromeansnothing, I appreciate the argument you've presented here. While I will do my best to answer any and all questions you pose, it is YOU who has sole BoP because it is YOU that must prove something. I don't have to present any arguments of my own, as it is you who are making the claim. I will first address your introductory paragraph before proceeding to try to answer your questions. "Human beings are very perceptive" This is a very subjective claim. If we are talking about physically, then we're actually kind of pathetic. There are many organisms that see better, hear better, feel better, smell better and perhaps even taste with more differentiation than we do. I suppose you could say our senses are well balanced, but that, again, is a very subjective claim that's impossible to prove. There is a massive range of natural phenomena (waves, particles, maybe dimensions etc.) that we don't detect. "...compete on this planet with relative ease." I must note that this comes from technology which comes from our single, best adaptation (well developed brain) rather than us being physically superior than any/all other organisms. If it wasn't for our brain, we'd be pretty pathetic and unfit for survival. "...your emotive and subconscious awareness's are also highly evolved and reliable." If my opponent could elaborate on this point a bit I would appreciate that, although it may not be directly relevant to the debate. What is meant by or what is an example of "subconscious awareness"? Isn't that a paradox, since our subconscious is what we're NOT aware of? "We have evolved these primitive abilities to a level where we now attempt to apply reason and morality to what we see. " Agreed. Now to my opponent's questions. 1. Why has mankind always perceived 'the existence of God'? We haven't perceived it. If we would've actually perceived it, then you and I wouldn't be having this debate right now. Perhaps I could slightly rephrase your question into something like "Why has mankind always believed in 'the existence of God?'". In this case, I think the answer is quite simple. To this day, there are many things we don't control in nature (most things), but long ago, we used to not understand these things either. This is where the concept of gods originated (indeed earlier belief systems were polytheistic, a deity for every phenomenon respected but not understood). For example, the ancient people didn't understand how lightning works, but it's powerful and uncontrollable, so they imagined that there is a force (super-powerful humanoid) that controls this phenomenon. Since then, many myths and legends have developed and grown from one another, intertwining in a complex fashion that result in religions and belief system with rather sophisticated stories. Plus, let's be honest, it is quite comforting to believe that there's some all powerful being that watches over us and listens to us and promises us life after death...who wouldn't want to believe it? And so stories were passed down from parent to child and haven't been "removed" from our traditions. 2. "Why is this belief so actual that we have retained it and developed it without any indication of doing otherwise? " I sort of addressed this in the previous answer, but I'll go into more depth here. I would first like to contest the last claim "...without any indication of doing otherwise" because we do indeed see atheist/agnostic movements rising in popularity. The belief is so actual because: 1) It's technically impossible to disprove (which is why BoP is on you) 2) Tradition 3) Personal satisfaction/comfort And so, I'm mildly disappointed as my opponent hasn't yet presented any arguments/evidence except that we believe and have believed which...isn't really an argument. "(1) Study the ancient origins of 'God belief' as it manifested itself in its various forms during the course of human history." Yes, and we come to the conclusion that there is definitely no need for a God to exist in order for people to believe, it's a naturally occurring process. "(2) Study your world that has always exposed the workings of God to us and search for God yourself." I have studied my world quite carefully and haven't found God anywhere. From what I've seen, there's no need for him anywhere. And so I curiously await my opponent's response and "more to come".
