    The better question is why we should care if it has evidence in first place.

    Because you see a Godless universe.

    - - - Updated - - -

    And I can pray. Does that mean God exists?

    Where is the evidence for this statement?

    name one object that contains mass or energy that we KNOW for sure exists in the universe, that has no measurable or observable properties.

    Because so far everything that exists has evidence.

    If evidence is not important to you, then I am God. Please give me your money.

    I believe that God is a 4-eyed green turkey that is 50 feet tall.

    he exists in another dimension.

    prove me wrong

    They both believed things without evidence. When the evidence came in, it showed the Earth wasn't flat. The evidence will never come in for gods, because as I understand it, they're said to be supernatural. That puts them beyond the scope of scientific examination. The claim that gods exist is unfalsifiable, therefore unscientific, therefore nonsense.

    This doesn't answer my question. You have no evidence for your beliefs, and yet you ask the believers to show you evidence of God.

    Where is the evidence that everything that exists has physical evidence?

    Actually, people believed the earth was flat because they simply thought it was so. It had nothing to do with the presence (or lack thereof) of evidence.

    In regards to God, people believe in Him and are aware that there is no physical evidence of Him.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Easy- God is the Creator, not the creation. Your description of Him is wholly invalid.

    Boy, atheists are a simple bunch.

    OK...here is the problem.....YOU have FAITH and that's fine......BUT.....in reality there really does not exist any evidence or proof that any GOD or GODS exist.

    Absolutely not a shred of evidence.

    You cannot logically use any ancient human religious text to justify any existence of a GOD nor can you use it as evidence because it is not.

    It is simply words written in a book by man.

    THEN.....there are the PROBABILITY CALCULATIONS.

    Probability when calculated for any existing GOD as advertised by any and all ancient Human Religious Text is calculated as 1 Chance in 10^178th.

    As I have stated before a STATISTICAL IMPOSSIBILITY exists at and above 1 Chance in 10^150th.

    So the PROBABILITY although not ZERO is still so low that a GOD as advertised by any and all ancient religious human text that the chance is lower than a Statistical Impossibility.

    NOW/.....when you redefine what a GOD would be.....this changes the Probability Calculations.

    EXAMPLE......if GOD was defined as NATURE.....then the Probability that such a GOD exists is 1 Chance in 1.

    Can you name something that you can prove exists which does not have evidence?

    So are you "doing" belief, or are you "being" belief? That would help because measurements and observing properties of the real world are actually "doing". If you are just "being" belief, then that is more non-explainable stuff. Not sure if you don't know what you're explaining or if you just can't explain what you know? :blankstare:

    How do you "prove" that a God exists? It's your hypothesis, explain how you do it.

    Both.

    Wrong, my hypothesis is that "no proof of God" does not mean "God does not exist."

    'A' does not equal B. Simple logic.

    rational, intelligent people understand that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

    I believe God exists. For me, that is enough. I see no need to prove God's existence.

    come back when you have evidence for the existence of your anthropomorphized "god"

    Is there really a need for those of us who believe in God to justify our belief though? I am quite happy to co-exist with people who do not believe in God. All I ask is that they respect my beliefs as I respect theirs.

    He seems to be obsessively attacking those who believe in God as well.
