"This explains the logical absurdity of atheism. There are only nominal atheists."

I had this conversation earlier tonight...to definitively rule out the existence of God, one must, quite literally, know everything...if one knows everything, one is omniscient, and by knowing all things, one therefore knows how to accomplish all things, and is therefore omnipotent as well...in other words, one must be divine to rule out the existence of God with any certainty. One without divine qualities can only at best, guess at the matter, making their conclusions every bit a matter of faith as one who believes...

...although faith in the existence of an almighty is indeed, far more logically supportable than faith in the absence thereof.

LOL. When I was 7, I learned what atheism and agnosticism were. I immediately ruled out atheism, since I couldn't be sure. So from 7 until I was 13 I said I was agnostic, since I wasn't sure about the existence of God.

At 13, I was studying cosmology and the choice was between the Big Bang theory and the Steady state. Steady state said that as the universe expanded new hydrogen atoms came into existence in the new space. To me, creation ex nilo, required God. Then I realized that the Big Bang was also creation ex nilo, since there was no source for all the matter and energy in the universe.

Since then, I've been sure of the existence of God. I became a Christian two years later.
