The abrahamic god exists.

Thanks for the rebuttal. PART 1 (Rebuttal) >>>"God is all powerful and therefore must allow Satan to exist. Allowing the incarnation of pure evil to exist is obviously contradictory to gods status as all good."<<< Sin is evil in God's eyes, yes that is true, and God does control all the evil that happens in this world, it would be impossible for evil to exist without God or anything evil to happen without God. So in that sense God does control all the sin in the world and has even predestined each and every individual sin to happen. At the same time we have free will and every sin that occurs is a human being's fault NOT GOD'S even though God predestined all sins to happen. Now this is ,in fact, a mysterious phenomenon, no theologian has ever been able to completely solve this mystery. The Bible says that pharaoh hardened his heart (pharaoh's choice to sin) BUT, the bible also says that God hardened pharaoh's heart. Now there are two things going on here that one might say "contradict each other" that is why this is a mystery. Now that I have explained the issue of free will vs. God's sovereignty I believe that we should start debating about the actual existence God! Again, just because you don't understand the theological mysteries that are in the Bible doesn't mean God doesn't exist. And you have yet to prove this. I mean, what you're debating is a totally different issue compared to the physical existence of God. I suggest you take a different route in your debate. For further details on the whole issue of free will you could talk to a pastor, because I basically just outlined the major details of the mystery. Same thing with the devil when he made the decision to sin against God. >>"I ask my opponent if he believes evil or pain exists in any way? Because if so an all good god cannot exist."<< Yes pain exists, for instance, God says not to murder but murders happen every day. This doesn't mean that God is evil for this since all sin is purely man's fault. Thus God is still all good. And the ONLY reason why God allows sin is because of the curse that Adam gave to all his children. Why did God allow for Adam to sin in the first place? I don't know, but its irrelevant to the resolution at hand here! Just because my opponent disagrees with God's way in handling things doesn't mean God does not exist. _______________________________________________ PART 2 The reasons why God exist are simple... 1) Without God morality is up for grabs and means nothing. Lets look at a certain situation. If one person says stealing is wrong but another person says it is right then how can one decide what is right. All we have to judge off are the two people who have poller opposite ideas. Now, since morals are transcendent there most be one right answer. So without a higher being (God) to appeal to, then morals can not be accounted for. 2) No scientist can prove that God does not exist. Plus, there are many flaws in evolution, such as the modern fossil record which does not meet the requirements for DARWINISTIC EVOLUTION. 3) There were over 500 witnesses to see Jesus being raised from the dead. 4) Without God how did anything come into creation in the first place, the laws of physics say that something 'can not' come out of nothing. So there must have been God to create the universe. I look forward to your response, Charles15
