Debate: The God Debate: Does he exist?
Side: No

The things that I listed below was on a book called What if Jesus has never been born? by Dr. James KennedyThese are the positive contributions Christanity has made through the centuries:Most of these examples are exaggerated and oversimplified. The influence of many of these 'contributions' were neither here nor there. Some of them are downright false or moot.I also find it somewhat amusing that 'Modern science' is even listed here considering the Christian church has been the principal opponent of science since Galileo was excommunicated for insisting that the Earth Revolves around the Sun and not vice versa.This is what we have today. This proves the God exists.I find this to be insulting to my intelligence.>Christians have done good things...Therefore >God existsThis is fallacious logic. Firstly it ignores all of the negative contributions of Christianity, secondly it blatantly disregards the Gods of other religions. If God exists who is to say it's not the God of some other religion, why do you assume it must be YOUR God? Most importantly, there is absolutely no link between how many good deeds a person or persons has done and the veracity of their beliefs.You could list a thousand more positive contributions of Christianity and you would still be no closer to proving the existence of God. The probable truth of a proposition rests on the strength of it's evidence, not on the good deeds of it's advocates.On another note I find it interesting that you dedicate a substantial amount of your post attempting to refute Evolutionary Theory, as if to say that God could only exist if he possessed the particular characteristics ascribed to him by your Doctrine.No verifiable transitions from one kind to another have as yet been found.LIST OF TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils God does exist. Look we have rainbows and the reason why we have rainbow is because God promised Noah that He would not flood the entire earth ever again.This bears more resemblance to myth than to historical reality. Especially considering that there is no evidence of any Global Flood ever. Entire civilizations have flourished uninterrupted during the period for which the deluge is said to have occurred, nor do we find a universal layer of silt across the world within the geologic record which we would expect if there we to be a global flood. The physical evidence renders such stories as mere myths, a proposition unlikely to be accepted by those who consider the bible to be an infallibly true literal record of past events.Most of the invention we have today like the lightbulb by Thomas Edison and the techology we have would not be here because if God never existed then some of things i just mentioned would not be here today.http://www.answers.com/topic/begging-the-question Interestingly enough, nothing has been invented via divine revelation, or through any supernatural means. Inventions are made using critical thinking. Finally, while chance is a blow to the theory of evolution, the laws of science are a bullet to its head. The basic laws of science including the laws of effects and their causes -energy conversation and ethropyEntropy has nothing to do with Evolutionary theory. Entropy is the movement of heat in a closed thermodynamic system. Please elucidate how in anyway that would disprove evolutionary theory, I would love to know.Nor does causation in any way refute Evolutionary theory. Natural selection, Sexual selection, Artificial selection, Genetic drift....that is your causation.Science doesn't dispute Evolutionary theory, it supports it. The scientific evidence for the Theory of evolution is so overwhelming the vast majority of scientists and especially biologists are forced to accept it. Most of the vocal advocates of Evolution come from the scientific community, whereas most of those who oppose it come from the religious community.
