The creator of our universe seemingly twiddles his thumbs for 13.7 billion years, and then decides to pop in a few thousand years ago to chat to desert dwellers through a burning bush.
Probable ?
I think not.

Humans feel good things, good things make us feel good, we call these good things the human soul or spirit. These good things exist regardless of the bible or mythological gods, we are a species that is aware of our feelings, the explanation for these feelings is a natural one and not a supernatural one. Are you certain of that, mate?

Evening Texas,
Seemingly your knowledge comes from an old dusty book written by numerous desert dwellers who thought the world was flat and at the centre of the universe ?
The bible is not true because it says so.
Knowledge comes from man's consciousness, we are all Gods. ;D

If I were, I'd be opening up a fresh bag of Taco Bell without lifting a finger to go get it. That and I would create a dog who didn't lick his privates lol.

So if knowledge comes from God, and we know there's no God, well ... isn't that an interesting conundrum.

Good morning Texas and FF,
Technically speaking the statement God does exist is a false one, you may believe god exists but you can not know god exists.
To know requires knowledge, knowledge requires proof and evidence, you have no proof nor evidence that god exists.
This as you quite rightly point out does not mean god does not exist but it certainly does cast some doubt on its existence.
Science deals in probable truths, " god probably does not exist " is probably the most accurate statement.

Therefore its up to us what we do with that knowledge. Yes, I know, I cannot prove that God exists, but nor can anyone prove he doesnt.. One day we will all know.. and have full knowledge though.

If there is, indeed, a God, one day all will know it. However, if there is not a God, none will know anything, as the brain (the vessel in which knowledge resides) dies with the body.

This as you quite rightly point out does not mean god does not exist but it certainly does cast some doubt on its existence. Science deals in probable truths, " god probably does not exist " is probably the most accurate statement. True and amazingly enough what we see proof of is that the desire for this God to exist is strong enough to "make it true" for many. Making it true or strong belief however does not make it factual. Happy Sunday.
