Maths Proof: God Created the Universe
More nonsense!
The 'belief infested' must constantly 'defend' and 'feed/validate' and 'spread' his 'belief infection'!
And do this sort of pseudo-intellectual contortions.
'Faith', on the other hand, never needs to resort to this Faithless mental masturbation for support!
'Faith' is Knowledge/experience!
'Belief' in an infection of the imagination, the ego! Vanity.
'Creation' is simply impossible; philosophically, logically, scientifically!
Math is no more than imaginary!

No i don't think so. You are putting your personal interpretation of that text, written 2000 years ago when they thought sacrificing animals made the harvests bring crops.
No maths involved -- you've completely made this up.
Science and religion do not mix.

That's all I'm saying....literally ^ that.... DEFEND YOUR OPINION. If you are of the opinion that god does not exist, tell me why you think so....if you are of the opinion that god does exist...tell me why you think so....

Your bible is only a collection of stories and tales -- nothing more. It is not a real depiction of anything that actually happened. There is nothing magical or illuminating about the "tale" of Genesis. It was a fabrication, made up by people when they had no idea how the world around them worked.
No one put secret/hidden meanings in there.
You're reaching now, trying to find ANYTHING to help justify your belief and faith. It's really kind of sad.

And who told you it's just stories and tales? Did you come up with that yourself?
So you have read Genesis thoroughly have you?
Have you cross-referenced the use of words and phrases and not noticed something intriguing? Two hundred years ago, when nobody was educated, the Bible was an easy reference for a quick moral buck. That's all it was used for. So that's what people thought it was all about.
Then science came along which didn't have time for what seemed like fairy stories. So the Bible was ditched in favour of physics textbooks.
Until now, nobody has thought to review the Bible from a scientific point of view. It's the same way disabled people were treated - until recently few thought to review the human inside; everyone just followed everyone else and treated them like third-class citizens. How would you have treated a disabled person forty years ago? The same way you treat the Bible?
The tales in the Bible are intended for children to give them something of a moral start in Life, just like children's TV.

oh dear mental gymnastics at its finest.
Firstly in his equations god M saw the light, then it conviently becomes mc^squared to try to stretch to Einstens
formula.
More to the point how can god have mass and occupy the same space as us, they say its a spirit when we cant see
it.
Sorry epic FAIL
A junior high student can see the breakdown in his logic no maths required,,,
Wheres the OP gone? Missing in action?
If you make the claim, it's you who has to do the legwork.

it's not up to me to falsify it...

I didn't make the claim
I'm claiming a default position in which I have no evidence for or against...I'm admitting I have no evidence...how do you prove that? Exactly, you don't.

Ah, but that's where you're wrong.
Are you of faith? Where did you get your faith from? Your parents? Your pastor? And where did they get theirs from? Did anyone along the line actually do any legwork themselves to achieve this faith? Was it recent? If not, then it's the same as still water - it goes stagnant.
Does that please God? No, it disappoints Him.
He wants to see his Creation improve upon itself and the only way you can do that is with creative thought.
Following the same old rules dampens creativity.
You should be asking "So who are you God? What are you really like?" and searching for answers that satisfy you. That's what the Bible is for.
And it's all tooled up for the here and now.
It is loaded with "scientific" data if you look properly for it with a creative mind.
You can get to know God in more tangible forms.

Just thought I'd add this.
The Universe ends this year and then resets itself. The Bible is internally consistent over several thousand years from Genesis to Daniel. A lot of thought went into it.

That's right and I'm positive the claim was made approximately
a hundred and eighty years ago. Against an established paradigm
that reaches back to antiquity and possibly beyond. Whereby
the proof as demanded by science is no longer with us. At least
for the most part. And what proof there is gets scouffed at.
Even tho science can't pin down any kind of an explanation
for the evidence that does exist. But my point is it's science
came along and made the extraordinary claim that all the magic
we see everyday came to be without a magician. All the mechanics
to existence never needed a mechanic, no designer of the obvious
design, no programmer needed for the program, hell books don't
even needed writers either I guess.
According to science sh#t just happens. So move some leg.

Barcs, you know as well as I do, if you take a slow meander through the countless threads here on ATS, the vast majority of atheists have said "there is no God" somewhere...just as the people on the other side say it as an absolute positive...while a small portion of us like to stay in the middle and say that while both possibilities are NOT equal, they both are possible.....

Au contraire. If it weren't for religion science wouldn't exist. Originally science was perceived as a means to get closer to God. Now it's taken a turn towards the dark side and tries to prove God doesn't exist. Science can't exist without religion. As long as there are still doubts, science will continue.
