To Atheists and Agnostics: The futility of asking ...

So suppose somebody showed you God, a powerful deity in all his magnificence, sitting on your living room couch.Will you accept this as evidence?

How would you disprove the evidence, using available empirical methods?

A) You can't rely on the miracles the deity is performing, because;

1. No immediate scientific explanation for a miracle, means that either the scientific method is not as advanced yet, or there is not enough data to make a conclusion about your findings.

2.An existing scientific method can be used to recreate a similar miraculous occurrence. For example, its been proven that the introduction of some kind of electromagnetic field can create a feeling of a supernatural presence. Yet this does not negate the presence of the supernatural.

B) You can't rely on any known scientific method today to measure the presence of a deity. Why? This is simply because no one in history has ever gathered any scientific data on the physical manifestations of a deity. In fact no scientific method has been designed thus far to measure the physical evidence provided by any deity.

C) Even if you have the right scientific method, you would not know what to measure if you were shown a deity. An electromagnetic field? A gravitational change? How about a change in resistance?

D) You do not have any solid theories(putting aside the history of religion) on God. Is God made of matter? Antimatter? Does God have a body? How many dimensions does God have?

So even if someone came to you and said he/she is a god in human avatar, you wouldn't know what to do with the available evidence. Or would you?

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.

The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."

Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me". Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program

"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."

"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."

The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, your ass is mine."

He lost 63 pounds that week.

Be the Judge!!

There once lived two friends, a horse and an ass. they lived together and worked together in their animal kingdom for quite a long time. They each had their different talents though they shared a common one; they both could run and fast. One day, they had an argument on who could run faster than the other. the argument got so bad that it almost threatened to ruin their friendship. They decided to seek the opinions of the other animals in the kingdom. Since it was difficult to establish who culd run faster than the other from their argument, a day was set that they could race and the winner established. The two animals prepared for the race in anticipation for the big day!

Finally the day of the competition! all the animals gathered at their usual ground to witness the race, including the two friends. They went to the starting line and as the loudspeaker started "on your marks, get set....." all the animals in the field went wild each cheering for their favourite one. "Bang," off went the lound sound of the gun to start off the race. The ass was terrified by the "bang" sound and instead of running to the finish line, he cut across the field in the opposite direction running towards the other animals, jumped across the fence and by the time he stopped, he was miles past the racing field. On the other hand, the horse ran straight to the finish line and because he had no competitor and he finished first, he was declared the winner!!! now trouble started again, those who supported the ass said that despite the fact that ass ran in the opposite direction, he was the winner coz he ran a longer distance than the horse and he took the same time taken by the horse to the finish line!!! (so he ran faster). The other group that supported the horse said the horse was the winner since he ran to the finish line alone and he arrived first!!!

If u were the judge in this race, who would you choose as the winner of the day???!
