There are plenty of facts that reduce the possibility of the god of the Bible existing as described to something like microscopically small. Yeah, there may be a possibility that such an entity exists, however remote. But I see it this way. Say you are a jurer, one of twelve in a murder trial. The trial has concluded and the jury is sequestered and making their deliberations. All of the evidence is poured over by each jury member. There is DNA evidence belonging to the defendant recovered from the body of the deceased. The defendant's fingerprints were found on the murder weapon. 25 cameras in the stadium where the crime was committed recorded the act. The 45,000 witnesses in the stadium all confirm that the defendant committed the murder, and yet you aqre the only one who stands up and say, "we must reserve judgement because there mkight be some minute bit of evidence that we've missed or that was overlooked. And so you become the only holdout to finding the man guilty. Despite the overwhelming evidence that the person is guilty, you refuse to concede his guilty on the remotest of possibilities that evidence will turn up proving his innocence. Conversely, however miniscule the possibility that God exists may be, it does not, in my view, outweight the utter lack of evidence that God does exist.

[QUOTE="orogenicman, post: 143336, member: 2797"] There are plenty of facts that reduce the possibility of the god of the Bible existing as described to something like microscopically small. Yeah, there may be a possibility that such an entity exists, however remote. But I see it this way. Say you are a jurer, one of twelve in a murder trial. The trial has concluded and the jury is sequestered and making their deliberations. All of the evidence is poured over by each jury member. There is DNA evidence belonging to the defendant recovered from the body of the deceased. The defendant's fingerprints were found on the murder weapon. 25 cameras in the stadium where the crime was committed recorded the act. The 45,000 witnesses in the stadium all confirm that the defendant committed the murder, and yet you aqre the only one who stands up and say, "we must reserve judgement because there mkight be some minute bit of evidence that we've missed or that was overlooked. And so you become the only holdout to finding the man guilty. Despite the overwhelming evidence that the person is guilty, you refuse to concede his guilty on the remotest of possibilities that evidence will turn up proving his innocence. Conversely, however miniscule the possibility that God exists may be, it does not, in my view, outweight the utter lack of evidence that God does exist. [/QUOTE]
