So, we came from apes? Where is that damn missing link anyway? Or did they cobble some bones together and name her Alice? haha SKOL!
Hahaha I don't claim to have the answers, brother, AND I don't believe the answers that have been given...lol no more, no less...I appreciate that others have their faith, and I support them all fully. I just have different thoughts about it 😁

Looking for a little assistance, in a debate and while I am god loving man I struggle sometimes debating the existence of god with non-believers.

So what is the best argument for the existence of god? Just a quick, 'well then how do you explain this' type deal will do!

There is no easy answer. There is the idea of a creative being, then there is lunacy.

You believe in an all-powerful God who created everything. You have faith in that God.

Those who do not believe have placed their faith in the notion that everything came from nothing. Matter appeared from nowhere, found it's way into a space that didn't exist, during a period when there was no time, and eventually, all that formed I-phones, G-Wagons, Christina Hendricks, and high-end condos with a view.

You’ve had your time. Daddy is coming to take back number 1. Bringing another UT with us.

Once we take over, you guys can be #2. Crimson Alliance and all.
Don't fall into the We coming trap to prevent looking like this.

Also that GIF you posted yesterday was so good it's been burning a hole in my computer to be posted again.
This is probably a perfect placement for it.

Science can make a perfect replica of a kernel of corn. But they can't breath the spark of life into it.

We can even see the hand of God in Nature. Life is no accident of primordial soup bullshit or the failed theory of evolution. God's hand is everywhere if you look.

What are the chances any form of life could occur by happenstance?

You can’t prove God exists. It’s not possible. Don’t argue that. Admit it.

My discussion point is always this -

I ask them if they are familiar with the Higgs-Boson. Commonly known as the “God Particle”. They proposed the particle in 1964. It wasn’t proven until 2012 when a boson was measured at CERN by the large hadron collider at a weight of +/- 126GeV.

My question is always, why did physicists, some of the smartest people alive, believe in something they could not prove for over 50 years? The reply is always the same - well, although they couldn’t prove it existed, they could see its presence in matter. They knew it had to exist.

God is like that for us. Personally, I can’t prove to you God exists. I can look back and see His existence in my life. Anecdotal evidence? Perhaps. But, inexplicable events… I don’t believe in coincidence.

Then I ask them if they are familiar with the “spider in the room” theory. It’s a theory that posits - if I tell you there is a spider in the room you are in and you can see it… it is proven true. If it isn’t visible then you must search for it. If you haven’t found God - how much research have you done to prove He does/doesn’t exist? Don’t tell me “I feel that”, because you can’t even get a high school diploma without doing the work. Your feelings are irrelevant. Do the research.

Lastly, the issue of Jesus. Research Him. Secular Roman Historians wrote about Him. Lee Stroebel - The Case for Christ. Michael Behe - Irreducible Complexity. Dietrich Bonhoeffer - read his story. Cory Tin Boom - read her story. And one last book - The Creator and the Cosmos by Hugh Ross. Read all that and tell me your thoughts then.

NATO is fracturing. Macron pivots to the Ukraine Peace Plan with China over Biden's disapproval. Now the Nordic countries will build their own mini NATO. The Czechs announced no more armaments or funds for the Ukraine War.

It's not that easy. You can't convince them anyway. Trust me, from 2008 until 2021 I was an atheist. The only thing you can do is what my friends and family did for me. They prayed for me for that long. Without pressure, I came to GOD on my own. I was baptized last year and I live a new life with my eyes wide open. GOD BLESS.
Amen!!!! Welcome to the Kingdom, My Brotha.

ANECDOTAL:
My youngest is a medical miracle. Had .5% chance of being born alive. Hammered those odds and is heading off to college in the fall. This doctor said he couldnt explain it. He called it a miracle. The shield maiden and I just smiled. SKOL!

Take a watch apart. Take the pieces and put them in a tumbler. How long until the watch is back together? Faster than “Big Bang” - theory. Theory? Yes. Because they can’t replicate it. No replication, no ability to prove.

Even Darwin didn’t believe in evolution. Most won’t read that chapter.

Plus, Michael Behe destroyed it with irreducible complexity.
And, as other's may have already stated, Darwin said that if the theory of evolution is correct, then there should be a lot of fossil evidence of it. That evidence doesn't exist.
