Description
To start I should define the most important terms in this debate;
God - a spirit that is worshipped as having power over nature and human fortunes
Evidence - an available body of facts to support a view
**if you don’t like this definition feel free to say so in the comments and we can change it for the debate**
Pro: there is evidence for the existence of god
Con: there has been no evidence for the existence of god presented yet
Burden of proof will lie with pro due to them claiming there is evidence for the existence of god
Round 1
As a initial formal greeting I would like to thank my opponent for this debate and accepting it so we can discuss this eternally standing question
My position
My position on this question of “is there evidence supporting that a god exists” is that there has been no evidence presented to me that has only god as an explanation for it, I.e god is not the only “theory” that could explain facts presented by my opponent
The method
As allured in my previous topic the method I will use to disprove any evidence presented by my opponent as true is to provide reasoning as to why a naturalistic world (important to note I don’t exactly believe in a purely naturalistic world but that’s a debate for another day) could also explain it. Of course it is nearly impossible to prove 100% factually that an piece of evidence doesn’t prove a god, because of course ontologically there is a possible world where that could be an explanation for evidence presented.
Addressing my opponent’s bop
Given the nature of the bop here I will leave it to my opponent to present evidence(s) for me to attempt to attack
I prefer to thank to SethBrown for initial formal greetings to ballpark
as i like to play fair by ur grace
i like u to define the apple ? if u can then just make
Round 2
The Apple? The Apple is a specific “category” of fruit?
yeah ofcourse "apple " define it
Round 3
Yes I just defined it as a category of fruit. We can be more specific as define it as the round fruit of a tree of the rose family
category of fruit , define it as the round fruit of a tree of the rose family
if i consider it as definition then something according to it called apple , but no that's not true at all , Quince , Peaches..... r apple according to that definition
my opponent SethBrown have good humor but its unsatisfied maybe or maybe not ..... alright let go
There is evidence supporting the existence of a god
Description :
God - a spirit that is worshipped as having power over nature and human fortunes
Evidence - an available body of facts to support a view
In Ans :
i can say one word imagination
imagination is the evidence that we've to support the existence of a god , god exist in our imagination , imagination is the god , our imagination have power over nature and our fortunes through perception
i know u know what i mean
Thanks ^^
Alright I’ll make it an put you as the contender
It means not being limited by logical laws.
Apologies for how late this is, got somewhat busy after school but I’m active again. I’m in the process of making it but what exactly do you mean by above logic? Does this being just have some type of dominion over logic or does it exist separate from the existence of logic?
Anyway, define God as "supernatural being above logic".
That is more appropriate.
Apologies someone has already accepted it but I will make another one for you as well once I get out of school
Could you set argument time to 1 week? I am thinking of accepting this.
Although I’m still gonna leave this open for anyone that’s curious, the definition I laid out for evidence leaves a bit of wiggle room for me I believe
I could certainly make a debate over that, although given the fact it’s late I’ll probably make it tomorrow and I’ll make sure to tag you in
The mere faith in God changes the way people think.
Obviously there is at least some evidence for there being a God. IMO The debate should be whether the evidence is strong enough to constitute a higher probability of a God existing than not.
