i'll just lob this bit of logic into the fray from the peanut gallery:

The spark of life can be explained without god included, the development of complex organisms on the planet can be explained without god included.

While it is true that god is sufficient for these things to happen, god is not necessary.

If god is not required for these things, and we have no actual proof of god existing, why do we reason that god exists.

Trying to Reason your religious beliefs is futile, I think Martin Luther said it best, "Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding."

So go ahead and have your beliefs based in Faith, but do not try to pass your beliefs off as Reason, because it is not.  Don't be sour that the intellectual community is based on Reason, there are other facets of humanity that you can enjoy talking about your Faith in.

And when I say that a God, or to all relevant purposes the equivalent of, is inevitable you say...?
Study some history, and read some psychology books. He's necessary.

This thread:

WHAT.


Christians, please, just... sort it out amongst yourselves.

Apologies to Mr. Miles (I skipped a few pages, this poll may have been concluded by now? If not, I am sorry not to have contributed to it in any particularly meaningful way—it's ten to four AM—but shall endeavour to answer at a more suitable time)

You speak of human yearning, but that has no bearing on the existence or non existence of said god.  God is not required to explain the spark of life, meaning it can happen within the mechanics of the universe, if life can happen within the mechanics of the universe, why is it necessary to add god in the explanation, other than to justify a Faith. 

don't Reason your Faith, its like trying to keep your ice cube warm.

I know what you are saying, but what I am saying is Ssshhhhhhh! They are happy and docile as is. If you can function without, do so QUIETLY because many of the rest can't. It's stupid to me when someone has a personal revelation of sorts, then the first thing they do is make it their life goal to stir everyone else up about it.
