God does not and cannot exist

To be honest though , I really don't know where to begin with this. First off, UNVERIFIABLE BELIEFS: He say himself, search and you will find me. He has shown himself through miracles, he has created, the earth. God speaks through people people are touched in unthinkable amazing ways. he sent Jesus his son, as a sacrifice for our wrong doings, so that we may live with him. If any other debate used as many indemonstrable "facts" as proof, it would fail. How can these be counted as evidence here? In your other debate, you said that there is no answer for the origin of life, and therefore, this must be attributed to god. Did you ever think of ancient times, when people could not understand lightning or ocean waves, and so ascribed these to the work of gods? Now we know that static electricity causes lightning, not Zeus. Think of the time difference separating us from them. Now think of that same difference, but into the future. Do you honestly think that anyone will continue to believe in God, when science can explain everything in the universe? I personally do not think so. Religion is the classic failing of the scientific method. How can you say that you want people to search out the truth, when you have given up so easily? If we continued to believe that Zeus causes lightning, could we ever have harnessed electricity? Throughout the history of humanity, we have tended to place trust in metaphysical beings as a way to rationalize our own failings. Can't find a meaning in life? --- believe in afterlife Can't rationalize an unjust death? ---think it's God's will Can't understand origin of life? --- think God's will Can't describe natural phenomenon? --- think it's God Can't understand origin of Universe? --- once again, attribute this to God. May I ask you, were you raised religious from a young age? I can't imagine a modern day human, versed in all matters EXCEPT religion, to pick up a Bible and take it as fact. Surely, if you think about it in an unbiased way, you couldn't either. This is because of the critical learning stage of childhood, meaning that things learned then make a huge impact on the development of the individual. Imagine if a child was raised to think that the Earth was a colony world, and that the human home world was elsewhere. If everyone around this child told him that it was true, he would inevitably believe it. The Bible and this fantasy have exactly the same amount of evidence behind them: NONE. The Bible is merely a book written by humans, not the word of God. If perhaps a voice read the Bible out loud from the sky, and there were fiery plasma inscriptions in the sky that defied all science, and this voice also proclaimed information that I had never spoken aloud, I would take the Bible as the word of god. And even then, I would only believe this after all other explanations had been proven false. I really am sorry for that long ramble, it was probably pointless. All I'm trying to say is that you are attributing to God what can and will be explained by science. A few questions (though I am loathe to ask them during a supposed debate): If you believe God is the creator, what created him? Why would you believe God is a male? How can an omnipotent being exist? What makes you sure that there is a God? I really just do not understand any belief in anything that has no evidence behind it. Basically, saying that God requires faith is tantamount to saying that he, for all practical uses, doesn't exist. Sorry, I had to get this on here fast, so I didn't really get to go into detail this round. Oh well, looking forward to Round 3.
