What part of "There is no proof, one way or the other. There are just beliefs and openions" didn't you understand?

Of course I understood. But there is TRUTH. You can't have given up on something as pure as that

We have hijacked this thread. It is a really cool and Barney has made some really interesting points. You can PM me of open another thread, but lets give this one back to Barney and his topic. :thumbs_up

Why does God heal influenza but cant regenerate limbs?

Therefore influenza is not a test because God cures those with influenza.

Why is it that God has never regenerated human limbs?

You could ask that about a million things. Why doesn't God make me attractive? Why doesn't God make my headache go away? Why doesn't God cure the blind? Why doesn't God turn me into a mountain goat?, because I really want to be a mountain goat. :-\

Put it this way, is there any proof that there ISN'T a God?

as much proof that there isnt a celestial teapot or the GFSM or IPU or me being god etc.....

what we are looking for is evidence "if you want to call it proof fine im tired of pointing out that problem" that something exists.

But I'm sure 99% of the amputees would like there limb back. :rollseyes

That seams a lot more important than making my headache go away.:skeleton:

Barney makes really valid points. :thumbs_up

All that is relative. Of course amputees want their lost limbs back, that isn't in question. However, there are millions of human conditions that God could remedy if He so chose. Technically, I suppose he could be a divine miracle machine, granting lost limbs to everyone. It is a nice philosophical question, but doesn't point one way or the other as to the existence of God.

So why doesn’t an omnipotent god do some thing?
I can see only two answers.
1) God is not omnipotent.
2) God does not exist.

Right, and neither does anything else.

So because God does not grant regenerated limbs to people means he isn't omnipotent or doesn't exist? I suppose if that is your criteria for establising the existence of God, but that isn't my criteria.

So your saying that having influenza is easy? That just because there is a cure, it ISN'T a test?

The point is Kelt that everyday, prayer circles ask for healing. They will use the times that the sick persons they ask for intervention with actually get better as proof that god is indeed healing people all over the world.
Except Amputees.

An Amputee WANTING their limbs back is irrelevent. Christians will answer that God chooses to heal or not to heal. He "remedys" millions of people every day. Is this not his intervention? Is growing back a leg more "difficult" for him? Is it tireing? Is there some reason why growing back a arm never happens when cancer going into reccession happens so often?

The idea of god choosing completly blows matthews gospel's promises out of the water. "Ask and ye shall receive, unless its a bit tricky or not occouring in nature".

We are left with:
  • He hears but always ignores. (demolishing mercifulness & justness)
  • He cant do it
  • He can do it but statistically he just hasnt got round to it yet.
  • He cant hear.
  • He isnt there.
 
barney,
you are not being a good agnostic.
correct answer: it is in the Simply Unknowable Folder #27. :statisfie
