To: stremba; Resolute Conservative
if someone finds a precambrian rabbit fossil tomorrow or finds an organism that has a hereditary mechanism that is not nucleic acid based, I am fully prepared to come on this forum and state flat out that evolution is wrong. If somehow (and I know, this CANNOT be done, which is why religion is not scientific) someone were to prove tomorrow that God doesn’t exist, would you be willing to admit that you were wrong?

Fair arguments from logical standpoints. Given that positive proof of God as existent or non-existent will never be conclusively (scientifically) proven, we'll call the science a draw.

Let's talk about gambling then. If Atheists have it right and there is no God (intelligent design, omnipotent being, etc.), I find out when I die (or maybe not) and have lost nothing. BUT, if there is a God that a soul denied .... well.... it can't be good. Right?

I'm conservative. Given 50/50 odds and it being life or death, I'll go the safe route. My money's on God. lol

Ah, Pascal’s wager! Of course, you realize, right, that this argument applies equally well to Odin, Allah, Neptune, Vishnu, or the flying spaghetti monster. It’s not particular to the Christian God. If you find that convincing, then you must also worship just about every other god that people have ever worshipped.
