The full range of arguments for God's existence has been reviewed for centuries, from the philosophical to the "scientific" to the folksy. None has succeeded. If any one of the above arguments actually provides proof of God's existence, there would have been no need to keep coming up with new ones! The continued generation of new arguments for God's existence is a tacit admission that all previous arguments have failed.

Years ago, nobody had heard of "Intelligent Design" but now it's big news. Why? Because science continues to answer our our 'how did' questions and therefore, theology has to keep coming up with new game plans to try to justify it's mediaeval thinking.


How many Christians would have believed in evolution say, 20 years ago? Now we see that many do...with the proviso that God started the ball rolling! They have no choice than to believe in evolution because of the known facts concerning it so, from being a joke to all Christians in the past, it is now becoming accepted.

Fortunately, God belief as an answer for the unknown, continues to crumble throughout the world. Long may it continue to do so.

evolution has never been proven, and IMHO cant be. And a scientific "fact" today, may not be a "fact" tomorrow.

Why do you reject science with regard to evolution yet accept it in most other aspects of you everyday life?

Why is it that people are still trying to prove that God doesn't exist?

The unregenerate mind is able to see God's creation and not begin to comprehend how great God is. His understanding is darkened. He is alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in him.

Evolution has been proven, that is; the change in allele frequency within a population of organisms over time has been demonstrated as factual. The theory of evolution, like all scientific theories, is not subject to proof.

I think You and I have been around this merry go round before, dont you? lol. Its been proven factual to scientists that are looking to make it factual. Not all scientist agree that is has been proven, or there would be no need for debate in the scientific community.
