Haven't met a counter to what I say god is yet that proved me wrong. So the more I hear the arguments against what i say it is the more it strengthens what I say it is. at the very least "something more" is going on.
Thats the beauty of the scientific method based atheism over faith based atheism. It deals with what is actually there and doesn't deal in addressing what is not there.
This is a thread for BOTH christians and atheists (or for that matter, any other religious group).
Atheists -- what if today we found out conclusively that there was a god? How would you adjust your life?
Christians -- what it today we found out conclusively that there was no god? How would you adjust your life?
What kind of god?
There are many gods and goddesses (from small deities to almighty Absolute) and it's very important to know which one doesn't exist or exists.
Personally I would be suspicious to anything that humans "discover" about this, since we are pretty limited creatures and our ability to perceive and understand ourselves, the world around us and the whole reality is also rather limited. We do gain knowledge all the time, yet that knowledge is also within our capabilities (our senses, our intelligence). Who knows what's out there that we cannot even imagine and might never be able to perceive, discover, and especially - understand...

Jeepers. As I have said a couple of times, this was intentionally an open-ended question.
If it were possible for me to be wrong about God, I would lose all faith in the reliability of my ability to know what is and is not real. Fortunately, I don't think it would be possible to be wrong about the EXISTENCE of God but any and all other speculations and extrapolations would be moot.

What are the odds you'll find out or discover your wrong, in your lifetime, would you say?

About the EXISTENCE of God - Zero chance. About any and all other of my speculations and extrapolations ABOUT God I have no means of quantifying any of it.
I dunno how I could be wrong...'He' has shown me everything I know so far...hmm.
How could that be wrong?
Like:
That every particle, smaller than a cell, even, smaller than bacteria...
in an animate or in an inanimate 'thing' , if sliced into
1000 'pieces' in this 3rd dimension....holds the entirety of the original 'thing'' and the whole of all of Creation including
the Infinite Eternal Light of the Creator.
That means, let's see, every teeny particle of dust you see in a beam of sun light when taken
to it's core or essence, and even still, cut into pieces, holds within itself the Whole;
The One - the Center of All that Is.
Hmm, said in everyday terms, I suppose ---Nothing is what it seems, Nothing is what it appears to be...
The holographic image of everything that 'is' is similar to a Mirrored Fun House of Infinite proportions.
And I left out, all spoken about above, holds the Conscious Awareness of this One Being.
Thank You Lord. And with this, that You showed me, there is yet another room
in Your 'Mansion', probably, with a whole OTHER scenario!!!
And people wonder why we worship this Being!!!!
