Maybe the 80,000 claimed don't really have "it" either.

Fair enough, but you have posted nothing but 6 illogical claims that have all been refuted.

Perusing this thread, and it appears that many people don't understand the difference between the words "refuted" and "debated".

No surprise, though.

Who cares? Yeah, Western Europe maybe. Are they worth more than people in Africa and Asia? Maybe in your worldview they are, but I believe God created all men equally. 93% of Americans still believe in God and that number doesn't seem to be on the decrease. Overall, Christianity is on a large growth rate world wide. Atheism will never, ever beat out belief in God.

No, they've been refuted. What's consistent in this thread is the denial of this fact.

Posting articles from secular sources that were written three years ago aren't going to change the facts. A more recent poll suggested that 93% of Americans believe in God.

If 93% of Americans didn't believe in god would that change your personal beliefs?

It's funny that you say that because I was just going to add that it doesn't matter if the whole world stopped believing in God, it doesn't mean He doesn't exist. I just like to show how the Spirit of God is working powerfully in people's lives.
 
You cite new believers as evidence god exists. It's evidence there are new believers is all. But the reverse is true - the trend is away from belief.

It's actually not. Perhaps in certain societies it is but Christianity has a worldwide growth rate of just under 2% every year. And that's Just Christianity, no mention of other religions.

Again, parable of the sower, Denny.

It's not a numbers game, though. It's a matter of the heart, And, only the Lord knows that.

I know it's not, he was making a false claim and I was correcting him on it. Like I said above, I don't care if the whole world stops believing in God. I know God and what He's done for me and I will follow Him as long as I live.

Well you can think this, and others reading this can think it another way. Like I keep on saying. This thread is the debate and the audience are the jury. Both sides present the evidence and anyone that reads it can make their own opinion on the evidence.

I'm pretty sure you're one of very few people who'd take my word for it. You won't die if you jump off a bridge. Take my word for it?

I am acting on behalf of the prosecution. My personal opinion is irrelevant. I don't know why you can't see this. And since you claim you're God; then the prosecution will have no objection that you believe you are God.

You claim they've been refuted; which is "YOUR OPINION"; I don't agree they have been refuted. Hell I even used your goat and car gimmick to even give more reason why my #4 claim is not only more logical, but more probable. An intelligence putting the name on the ground with toothpicks has maybe a 80% probability and the probability that the toothpicks fell on the floor and landed to spell the name is 10 to the power of 150 probable. I think I like the other probability better. :D

Your usage of probability is... unique. I will give you that.
 
"The bloodhound has never gotten the respect it deserves in the dog community, I don't think. Nobody can beat a bloodhound nose. It's just that you cannot do it. You know, scientifically they have proven if you could measure that, that would be like taking a, a rocket, you know, and going to space. You know, and if you travel around Venus, if you mathematically divide that in terms of air speed, if you calculate that with the nose scent, if it could be compared in any way, the nose on a bloodhound is going to beat any NASA rocket. Not that it's the same thing, 'cause it's a nose and a rocket, but if you could, if you could make a table of numbers that would meet, well the bloodhound would be up here and I'll tell you the rocket would be down here. So I'll tell you that would be true."

Bingo!

The majority of "religious" people in America are simply playing the part they need to be successful in their careers and avoid pissing people off.

In fields such as sales you are strongly encouraged to join a church, the bigger the better, and start mining it for clients.
