I see the following Atheists answers posted pretty often so can you answer me this?

We Answered:

The Bible consistently uses the Hebrew word chwug (circle) to refer to the Earth. Circles are, of course, flat. Some have suggested that this is because therre was no Heberew word for sphere or ball. This is simply not true, as evidenced in the Bible itself. Isaiah 22:18 clearly states "He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a BALL (duwr) into a large country."

As for the idea that we all consider these ancient peoples "dumb" for believing in a flat Earth, this is simply not the case. They did the best with what little evidence they had. The Egyptians believed that the sun was a flaming ball of feces being pushed around by a dung beetle, but they were by no means stupid. The pre-modern Chinese believed that foxes could turn into people and touching funeral workers would bring a curse on you, yet they invented clockwork and the printing press.

Intelligent people can be wrong on some things while right on others. It's a fact of life, and stating otherwise seems to me a gross oversimplification and insult to those ancient peoples. To say that because they were right about some things means they were right about all things is similarly a gross and insulting oversimplification.

Logical proof for the existence of God? Please read ALL, if you disagree with the premise push on through?

TL;DR.

You didn't really clarify how an infinite universe isn't possible. Considering our knowledge stops at the Plank Time after the Big Bang, and physics simply does not make sense at that point, we can't really say. How an infinite expanding and contracting universe makes sense because the evidence exists to suggest that kind of thing. However, there is no reason to suspect an outside force which exists outside of logic, time, evidence, and reason, exists. You've literally thought something into existence.

Regardless, none of this really matters, because the very definition of the God you created is logically inconsistent, and at several points, its features are mutually exclusive. Going ever further, there is no evidence to suggest this god of yours had any effect past the big bang, which pretty much means that all religion that worships this creator is absolutely meaningless.

Further more, it is pure speculation on your part that this god must be all powerful in order to create the universe. Something of such immense power is less plausible than several beings of lesser power.

Where do you want to go with the argument? That a logically impossible deity(s) of mutually exclusive attributes exists outside of our capability to study and more so outside of our physical world (which basically means it has no effect on our lives) some how cares that we all worship it and don't let them gays marry? Or do we just accept that something of such grand immensity that has no bearing on our lives and we have no way of studying, likely doesn't even exist but is just a creation of mankind imagination to explain the unexplainable in a time where knowledge of the world came from subjective perception, and subjective perception is notoriously flawed.

Jesse Said:

Is this Logical proof of God? Please read ALL, If you don't agree with the premise push through?

We Answered:

There's a single contradiction in your argument that makes nearly the entire proposition impossible.

First of all, You need to review the law of non contradictions. Basically, 2 opposing statements cannot both be true at the same time and in the same situation. For example, if you have:

Statement A: The clock is brown.
Statement B: The clock is green.

These two statements cannot both be true in the same situation, or the same time. Now, if you painted the clock to have both green and brown stripes they would be true; however, that would be a different situation (the clock is green in this stripe, and brown in that stripe. those are two separate situations.)

Now, to show where you violated this:

Statement A: (paraphrased) Everything comes from an external source.
Statement B: (paraphrased) God is this external source, and therefore could not have been created by something else.

Either it is possible for something to come from nothing, or God cannot exist (for that which created everything cannot have anything that created it, or that thing is not God.). Therefore, either your premise that everything needs an outside source is wrong, or the existence of God is a non possibility.

Sorry, good try though. The existence of God is impossible for a living person to prove or disprove. We'll all find out when we die though.
