by anonymous on 2005-04-21 23:41:24Many unexplainable events in the Bible are to be taken in Faith, as are the “higher†purposes behind various atrocities of humanity. If any negative event, even to the extreme of the killing of God’s son or the complete disappearance of God can be attributed to “faith†or “God’s master plan†then this forms a circular argument that prevails without logic or proof, no matter how seemly random or horrible an occurrence. This all encompassing argument defies all forms of scientific analysis that form the discovery mechanism of most advanced technological discoveries. Choosing a provable physical scientific theory, versus a vague unprovable hypothetical God only results in one possible conclusion. God does not exist, or if he does it is pure coincidence that we believe in him as he has had no effect on humanity at any point.
