Why? Why, do u want me to prove God exists? There are a bunch of

It's pretty bad when they can't even proofread

You're writing in alt.atheism where we lack belief in the
existence of a god or gods, so, your question makes no
sense. Can you provide evidence of the existence of any
god, including yours? Can you define your god? Can you
describe your god? And, please don't tell us it exists out
of time or space. Where does it hang its hat? If it exists
outside of time, it is in a permanant frozen state. It can't
go forward, backwards, sideways, up or down. It can

Is this loonie for real?
The most common elements in the universe are hydrogen, helium and
oxygem. Helium is inert so the most common compound is water. It
arrived when gravity formed the Earth from the accrestion disk which
was the material in orbit around the Sun when that was formed.
From thunderf00t's excellent Why do people laugh at creationists?

debunked...

And as a sidebar/sideswipe at the creationists' cousins, the
eco-fundie: not only is water the most common compound, but the
amount of water on Earth has always been the same. No water is
ever "lost". We have the same number of pints of cool refreshing
dihydrogen monoxide as the Neanderthal or the dinosaurs.

learned the answer to that particular question. Apparently, you slept

Now, before you start typing with your feet again, learn what evolution
actually is about. Failure to do so will just display more of your
foolishness.

The earth was formed as part of the development of the solar system.

pole for the old grey mare is grunging in the meadow. Well, better

fabled horse, the Somerset Nog - half Punch and half Dachshund. It
gets very foggy on the moors. Anyway, the Nog is a strange looking
creature- three-hands high and eighteen-foot long. They're not pretty
to look at- but the rhubarb in that part of the world be magnificent.
My song tells of a man who wants to go to the great fair at Ganderpoke
Bog- so he asks the farmer for a loan of the Nog, so he can take all
his friends with him, and it proceeds in this fashion.
(TO THE TUNE OF "WIDDECOMBE FAIR")

Con Mahony, Yeti Rosencrantz,
Foo Tong Robinson and Uncle Ted Willis an' all-
and Uncle Ted Willis and all.
So they all get on-except Fat Alice, who don't get on with anybody,
and off they go, but sad to relate- the horse snaps in two and
expires- but they do say as how its ghost walks abroad- in two halves,
and if you be passing Ganderpoke Bog at midnight they say you can hear
the two ghostly halves of the Nog singing in duet...
Reg Pubes, Reg Pubes
you lent your great Nog-
Rollock me fussett

And now my remains are in
Ganderpoke Bog- with

Wrong. Atheists deny/reject the existence of God without the least tiny bit of

ONe that simply doesn't believe in God because they find the evidence, all the

Well this is valid, but only up to a point. If I couldn't express

Your questions are anything but serious. But how earnest they are
could possibly be debatable. When you ask a question like "What
sustains these atoms that are in the living and the dead?" or "the
'evolution' of water", you are either too uneducated to be helped by a
forum like this, or just pulling everybody's leg. Either way, it's a
waste of time and effort to address how erroneous your questions are,
much less what the answers are, which are a small context of the
scientific principles you're addressing.
Go to your local library, get books on these subjects, read them for
comprehension, and then formulate better questions and ask them in
Usenet groups whose actual purpose is to discuss these subjects.

Pragmatically:
My father became an Aeronautics Engineer in 1950, which was before the
first rocket launches into space occurred. So he was on the ground
floor of a new industry that gave him a 40 year career that permitted
him to provide well for his family while doing work he seemed to
enjoy.
I myself. have been a Software Engineer, Architect, Designer and
Developer for over 30 years and again, I have been able to provide for
my family while doing work I (mostly) enjoy.
Philosophically
My father stressed having an understanding of things and to know how
they work. I enjoy doing that and this type of knowledge makes me
happy.
There is a hint of that in the questions you're asking. Only you are
going about it in a completely wrong way by asking random questions.
There are no short cuts to learning this stuff. Get a book and study.

And this is why you're not being taken seriously. Your "atoms"
question is plainly stupid, and indicates that you're only here to
troll. Free Lunch is just following Usenet protocol, which is "Don't
feed the trolls". And that is looking more and more like a good idea.

Wow.....u truly are somebody.....while I am no one....that I could

OK, this has been educational, but the time has come for me to
leave.....I can learn nothing from this group.....but I will give u
the last word.....feel free...8-)

I don't consider myself any better than you, but based on this
conversation, I feel I have had a better education than you have, and
I wasn't a very good student at all. And there have been periods in
my life where where it was possible I was the dumbest person in the
room at any given time. That is not something to aspire to.
Whatever the "calibre" of your mind, it won't learn things by asking
random questions like this, especially when you engage in snarky
retorts, which is only one reason of many as to why it isn't useful to
try and learn this way.
Have you noticed a recurring point in many of the responses to your
embarrassingly stupid questions? GET A BOOK. READ IT FOR
COMPREHENSION. THEN ASK QUESTIONS ON RELEVANT USENET GROUPS.

Gladly. I remain unconvinced you haven't been trolling and only came
to disrupt. If that's not the case, only you can force yourself to
make an effort to improve yourself. I went back to college in my late
40s, and am currently taking an online class to learn software
technology that I don't know enough about. Partly to aid in my
career, but to also keep my mind busy.

That's ~fact~ enough for me.....as long as you a better than most!
8-) Are u better than most atheists too?
I've never met most atheists, so I don't know.
Not true. I asked if you were a theist.
Did this character run away already?
Pegleg:
I believe there is One God......so, what does that make me?
> Did this character run away already?
Pegleg:
Gotta admit....8-) Thought y'all may need a break. 8-)
That makes you a theist. Weren't you familiar with the term?
Pegleg:
I know being a ~theist~ can mean a person believe in more than ~one~
God. Such as 3 gods in one. I do not believe this.
I believe the Godship given to the Christ was given to Him by the
Father (the ONE true God)
Just trying to make sure we're on the same page here. 8-)

Theist says nothing about the god or gods you worship, only that you do.
Pegleg:
Now, you know....I worship the ONE true God....that created all that
is....I do not worship the god or gods of ~theists~
.....there is a differenc, yes?. 8-)
How can anyone tell which gods are true and which are not? What test did
you devise to determine which religions and which denominations or sects
got it right and which ones got it wrong.
Neither is your god, Just another in a long line of mythical deities,
believed in by humans, too afraid to face reality.

NOT come to God....unless God calls him. Don't feel badly that He is
not calling you.... most likely, you are of ~common purpose~. 8-)
