comment Why does God not show Himself beyond reasonable doubt?
I do not object to the use of the Bible. I strongly object to forgetting that there are lots of non Christians not believing the evidence you call reasonable. Therefore, either the proof is not reasonable, or the people disbelieving it, are.

Jesus is an historical figure, certainly not someone I can chat with :-) So, I wouldn't really count that as valid proof.

I think you totally lost me here. I am asking: why does not God give away cups of coffee, but you are saying he does? Not to me, honestly.

comment Who created God?
@fli: that does not prove that God is not an effect, nor that the Universe is.

comment Why is the number seven special?
It's definitely not a Judeo/Christian thing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_(number)#Religion

comment Why does God not show Himself beyond reasonable doubt?
I think there's a big range of proof that could be given, starting from no proof, total faith (what we actually have today) and total proof, no faith (what you are suggesting). I claim "reasonable" sits somewhere in the middle. Could you expand your answer so to analyse that as well?

comment Why does God not show Himself beyond reasonable doubt?
To be honest, Jesus is not very convincing as proof--unless you already believe! :-) I don't think I like to think that God would get "tarnished" if he came in contact with us. After all, He does that a-plenty in the Bible. Why not today?

I actually don't demand proof. I ask why -- and this is not an answer :-)

How do you know that God is not an effect, but the universe is?

comment Is there a name for believing but not obeying?
Could use a little less ranting, but it's actually a veery accurate answer.

-1 for calling all non Christians unreasonable...

comment Why does God not show Himself beyond reasonable doubt?
Both are acceptable. I just want to know why he doesn't show himself through proof. Whether this is through a mathematical or convincing visual proof is irrelevant to the question. If there are separate answers then you can specify that in your answer.

comment The voice of God vs the voice of Satan
Why would God and Satan have voices at all? God is NOT an old guy with a beard or someone that looks like Morgan Freeman... or has a voice.

comment The voice of God vs the voice of Satan
"since angels are purely spiritual beings, they likely can manifest in our realm in any form": if they are "purely spiritual" the cannot manifest in our realm at all.

comment How do Christians understand the omniscience of God in relation to the Uncertainty Principle?
This is true no matter the interpretation: HUP is fundamental to QM and is never a matter of measurement.

comment How do Christians understand the omniscience of God in relation to the Uncertainty Principle?
This answer makes no sense. If Nature is "in God" as you say, then by measuring Nature, we also measure God, at least partially. Thus, we know more about God through science. On the other hand you explicitly contradict this in the first part of the answer. Which is which? Is God knowable through science or not? Is Nature part of God or not?

comment How do Christians understand the omniscience of God in relation to the Uncertainty Principle?
No, the HUP is proven beyond doubt (and accepted by Einstein). Popper is not a physicist... And it's NOT up to belief. It can be proven with a practical experiment the it does NOT merely represent ignorance of an underlying clockwork system. Please do not speculate about scientific facts you are not proficient in.

comment Atheism is the default position. Isn't the burden of proof on the Christian to assert that God exists?
This answer makes no sense since for most of mankind's existence there has been no Christianity... and science has also been known in some form for way longer...
