gilly I will let you in on a little secret There is NO God , not a single one
I guess I will say it again...
The declaration "There is no God" is what is known as an absolute statement. For an absolute statement to be true, I must have absolute knowledge.
Here is another absolute statement: "There is no gold in China."
For the statement to be true, I must know that there is no gold in China. I must have been everywhere and seen every place that gold could be, or the statement is incorrect.
To say "There is no God," and to be correct in the statement, I must be omniscient.
I must know how many hairs are upon every head, every thought of every human heart, every detail of history, every atom within every rock...nothing is hidden from my eyes...I know the intimate details of the secret love-life of the fleas on the back of the black cat of Napolean's great-grandmother.
To make the absolute statement "There is no God." I must have absolute knowledge that there isn't one.
If you are reasonable, you will have to say, "Having the limited knowledge that I have at present, I believe that there is no God." In other words, you don't know if God exists, so you are not an "atheist," you are what is commonly known as an "agnostic."
Of course an agnostic is more like a man who looks at a building, and doesn't know if there was a builder, but that is debate for another time.
Thank you, thank you...
please no autographs, just through money.
Hey now I sound like a televangelist
