Does God exist

The Universe My opponent makes the argument of intelligent design. She argues philosophical terms such as universe having a beginning. The problem with this argument is that this argument would have only worked in the 18th century. Scientists such as Steven Hawking have made astonishing progress on the start of the universe.http://www.hawking.org.uk... http://m.space.com... The problem with this philosophical argument is that you only have gotten yourself to the deistic position. You still haven't proven that he is a loving God that cares for everybody when thousands of Africans die everyday. You still haven't proven that God cares so deeply about humans that he does nothing when the worst genocides occur. You still haven't proven that God cares for us when Isaas slaughters and rapes our brothers and sisters. You still haven't proved that our heavenly father is capable of love when he is ready to see the bad ones in eternal fire which is extremely barbaric. Punishing someone and putting them in eternal fire is not only wrong, but barbaric. The reason why it says that is because the Bible also was made hundreds of years age when people used to throw rocks at women. You still haven't proven a loving God when in the Bible(Timothy 2:12-11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;b she must be quiet. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15But women will be saved through childbearing"if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. Christianity speaks of an all-powerful, all knowing, all good God, I do not think that an all knowing God would approve of this. I do not think that an all powerful God would have approved of this. I do not thing that an all-good God would have approved of this. If your God was so perfect and so powerful than how come he couldn't take this part of the bible out. This is the book that you would take as a source for your life, instead of a scientist with a PHD. Instead of taking advice from the smartest man who lives today, Steven Hawking, instead you would rather have your history taught by Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John who have no scientific evidence of what Jesus did. You just rely on their word because it might comfort you. No, I do not accept that a selfish egotistical jerk created me, and I believe that the voter should agree. My opponent justifies God's moral authority by assuming("What will he do if he doesn't send them to hell"). If your teacher was a female, she should be sent to hell. But, Christians would disagree. They would say such things as "progressive Christianity" or Timothy isn't the heart of the Bible. Here are two options 1-Do the right thing and say Timothy is wrong.-You give opportunity to rule out hell. 2-Take the Bible literally and let women not teach-Everybody knows your wrong. You take option 1 and than you have cherry-picked the almighty creator's book. Option 2- At least your not a hypocrite. My opponent also defends God to the end by saying that it is humanity's fault that this is happening not God. So if I see a homeless man walking down the street with three kids, and I have all the money in the world. I will use God's excuse. Its society's fault and close the door. In conclusion, If you can see what I see, than you would know what happened in this debate People of faith will defend their God to the end even when they have been alerted that God has watched the greatest genocides of all time and did not do anything when he had all power. The only word that I can say to a being like this is Jerk.
