Some try to prove philosophically that God exists, some try to prove it rationally but they eventually all give up and just say oh well, he exists so don't worry, be happy. Or some of them conclude that he doesn't exist, life is short, harsh and pointless so tough sh*t.

Then a few hundred years later some other folks try to do it all over again.

And so it goes...


Right on. Tis the post-Fall situation.

It is near impossible to rationally prove God's existence, but completely impossible to prove his non-existence.

Of course that doesn't stop an awful lot of (otherwise logical) people from trying either endeavor.

It is interesting to me that nowhere in the Bible is there an instruction manual for proving God's existence.
