There is no evidence for God

Are you claiming that Noah removed the animals' teeth so that he could cram more of them into his boat?

I'm claiming that his interpretation of "all species" is in congruence with his knowledge of the scale of the Earth at that time.

And there was me thinking he was merely repeating the nonsense the Bible tells us. Are you claiming Earth was somehow larger or smaller in those days?

I'm claiming that he had a very limited knowledge of the true scale of the earth but probably a vast knowledge of the various species of his locality.

Well, I don't know about you but I'd expect an omnipotent god (especially an aggressive, and vengeful one like yours), when telling someone to take two of every kind of animal, to mean two of every kind of animal, and that the transport manager would be expected to research how many animals (and of what type) that meant.

Where exactly do you expect your pedantry to take you?

Well, at least as far as pointing out that bacteria are not animals, obviously.

Can't work out if you're literate or a wiki-scholar.

Yes. An omnipresent, omnipotent being has never been detected at any point in the universe. An omnibenevolent being also does not exist.

When considering a hypothesis, it must be based on observation. God as a so-called supernatural being cannot be observed, and therefore it can absolutely be concluded that "God" does not exist.

No. As far as anybody knows, there could be other universes. (I used "observation"/observable etc. in the scientific sense btw).

observable ‎(plural observables)I did not say that things that WE are not able to observe do not exist. I only said that things that are incapable of being observed do not exist. The supernatural has no measurable effect on reality, because anything that happens is necessarily a natural phenomenon. I do not have to be omnipotent to know that things that cannot be observed don't actually exist.

If time is only a property of this universe, then nothing existed before this universe.

Similarly, if the universe always existed, then there was no "before".

Scientists base theories on what is possible within a closed-loop system. It has not yet been determined if there was anything before the universe, so it is still perfectly possible within our understanding that Reality predated this universe and/or that we are part of a wider multiverse. As long as this is a possibility, scientists will continue to be interested in the nature of the early universe and whether there was anything preceding it.

I can assure you I am fully literate, cognitively able, with a wide general knowledge. It must come from not filling my brain with superstitious nonsense.

Do you accept that consciousness is as much as an illusion as God, created by cooperating colonies of microorganisms to prolong their existence?

According to your logic if something is unable to be observed it doesn't exist. So multiverses doesn't exist and nothing existed before the universe and god does not exist as they are unable to be observed. I have revision to do so say something that is worthwhile and meaningful as I may not reply.

Religious perspective here.

There is no concrete evidence, and believe or not, most religious people know this. As others have said, there no concrete proof on a lots of things, yet we accept it as true and even fact. If you have ever studied science to a high enough level, you'd know that it takes just one test conclusion to disprove a theory. We don't have one definite piece of evidence to disprove the 'theory' that there is a divine being.

But all I've written is from a logical standpoint. Religion isn't supposed to be logical, its us connecting with something beyond ourselves. And I this that's why you asked this question, because you believe religion is logical. And as long as you believe that, you trying to argue the lack of existence
of a divine being, is pointless. Religion cannot be argued with logic, because like I said, its illogical.

And you ask why we believe. Well while I can't speak for everybody else, I can speak for myself. I believe in God because it provides me a sense of peace to know that I'm connected to someone beyond me, who is always with me so I'm never alone.

I'm claiming that he had a very limited knowledge of the true scale of the earth but probably a vast knowledge of the various species of his locality.

The bible doesn't say all species. It says "all kinds" of animal. Species is a modern term with a definition that we still debate. Do research on these things. You can't act as though the writer of Genesis was mistaken, because then the entire bible falls apart. Jesus' view of scripture is that it's not just from man, but that it is the "God-breathed" word of God, spoken to us.

You need to go and Google the "inerrancy of scripture" and why that's important.

You are saying that gods are an illusion?
