Correct, yes you are. It was especially cringey when you thought that screaming "scientists don't know how everything works!" was an actual rebuttal to "science deals with the how, not the why". Eek.Still grasping at straws?
So, God created existence. I assume that God also created man as it'd be pretty hard that there be much of anything without existence.You are making assumptions that just aren't true.

Yes, I confess to a certain amount of confusion, unlike yourself and many religious people who profess to have all the answers.
I'm not familiar with the Bull Ring.Anytime. May I suggest the Bull Ring for a more one on one discussion.I have much to say of your contradictions, but we''ll have to play later.I'm not looking to fight. I don't recall telling you that you were FOS. So I'm not sure where that came from. What I explained to you was why you thought I thought I knew everything. I've thought through this more than you have.You didn't explain anything. Rather, you are stammering about something that I already confessed: that you don't know everything.It was never my position. It was your position that I think I know it all. I just explained that I don’t know it all and why you made the error thinking I did.I accept that you are attempting to softening your position. You don't know everything. Thanks, I agree with that while confessing the same.I believe you are confusing my conviction with all knowing. Just because I have thought these things through and they make sense - which is the reason for my conviction - does not mean I claim to know everything. Just more than others who have not thought these things through.Yes, I confess to a certain amount of confusion, unlike yourself and many religious people who profess to have all the answers.
Could it be said there is one thing which you know with certainty, the existence of God?
Could it be said there is one thing which I know with certainty, the existence of God? 100%. I don’t see how it can be any other way. I’ve looked at it from every angle.
I apologize for again challenging your logic, but your last paragraph contains two more absolutes (the use of "100%" and "every angle"). The fact that you, "Don't see it any other way", could purely be a product of what you have already confessed: that you don't know everything.
Seriously, I wish no ill will to either you or your faith while simultaneously disliking it when some tells me I'm FOS because I don't take for certainty that which is taken on faith.
I cannot disprove God's existence (proving a negative is another one of those pesky fallacies). And you can't prove God's existence with faith - other than to yourself and others of like mind. What evidence do you have beyond hearsay?
Somewhere along the line you must have missed my perception of God. God is no thing. Mind, rather than emerging as a late outgrowth in the evolution of life, has existed always as the matrix, the source and condition of physical reality - that the stuff of which physical reality is composed is mind-stuff. It is Mind that has composed a physical universe that breeds life, and so eventually evolves creatures that know and create. This is a life‑breeding universe because the constant presence of mind made it so and imbued His creation with His attributes. So the evidence is all around you. Existence is your evidence. Existence is not hearsay.
Yeah, that never happened.Correct, yes you are. It was especially cringey when you thought that screaming "scientists don't know how everything works!" was an actual rebuttal to "science deals with the how, not the why". Eek.Still grasping at straws?

Why does God not wish to take responsibility for man's flawed design?
He doesn't. That's you blaming God for it. Thinking you would have done a better job. I guess in your world there would be no death, no illness, only good things. In fact, bad wouldn't even have meaning. Not sure you have thought that through but to each his own as they say.

My line of work has me in contact with a fair number of bright and well educated people. It often surprises me to how many of them have poor communication skills. This seems particularly true when it comes to organizing the written word.

The answer to that riddle is that God's power is defined by accomplishing His objective, not yours. It's hella more impressive making good come from evil.
