I got to thinking. I'm an atheist...but if I was presented with enough evidence...say...Jesus himself flying down from heaven on a unicorn...I would probably be open to the idea of there being a god. However...I wonder what kind of evidence it would take for a hardcore "believer" to question the existence of a god. If you are a believer...is there ANY evidence that could be brought forward that could make you question your faith?
No?
Assuming that is the case with every "believer", doesn't it make it pointless then to engage in any debate about creation, god, etc... with them since nothing the scientific community could uncover would ever change their mind. That's sad. I don't want to believe that. I mean...are there any of you out there who believe in god that are at least openminded enough that if xyz evidence came forward...you would start to question it. I got one for you guys....what if we perfected transhumanism/nanotechnology/immortality and lived for another 900 billion years on this planet (assuming the sun never collapsed into a black hole) with no sign of the rapture or Armageddon etc.. Would THAT be enough time for you to start questioning your faith in a god?
EDIT!!!! PLEASE BEFORE ANSWERING REFER TO THURISAZ'S POST ON PAGE 2 FOR A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW TO ANSWER IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A BACK AND FORTH WAR. PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC OR LEAVE.
Edit #2!!! Everyone on this thread is circle jerking about not being able to prove a negative and blah blah blah when all I asked was if there was ANY event/evidence that could make them personally QUESTION the existence of god. Literally, only one person answered my question in this entire fucking thread. Either grow some balls and answer the question or take a hike.
