    HA! there you have it, the seed of relativity

    Evil, love, cold, hot, light and dark are all relative measurements.

    Lighter than what
    Colder than what
    hotter than what
    Darker than what
    More evil than what.

    Interesting spin

    To answer the question, you first have to define.
    Define God, then I will answer

    God is a beautiful brunette woman who definitely has mood swings ;)

    Oh and I found out that the young man in the video is not Albert Einstein but that's irrelevant.

    Well, as soon as you define god, you have, by definition, also said what god is not - because a definition cannot exist without boundaries. To some people, this makes god 'less' than something larger, which can't be, therefore, you can't define god.

    Then there's the babelfish- so improbable a being that it proves that god exists. "But," says a clever one, "Proof that God exists denies faith, and without faith God is nothing..."

    "Oh. I hadn't thought of that," said God. And he promptly disappeared in a puff of logic.



    (Shamelessly paraphrased from Douglas Adams, who, at this point, may be the only person in this discussion who can actually answer this question with any degree of certainty.)

    Does God exist?

    Which god? At what time?

    I can guarantee that you believe that 99.99% of gods people have believed in do not exist. So really, in asking if God exists, you're asking if a particular concept of god exists.

    Throughout time, each concept of god (that you now don't believe in) had people who believed earnestly in their existence.

    In general, I find that intellectual discussions about religion and philosophy are almost a waste of time. They resolve nothing. They convince no one, (except, perhaps, ourselves, as we congratulate ourselves about our cleverness), and they generally completely bypass the essence of matters being discussed. :TrainWreck:

    In the end, we have only our own experiences. These speak the loudest to us and are the convincement to believe what we believe.

    However, this is a religion forum and, since the topic is out there for discussion, who knows what suprises lie in store for us, burried treasures among the posts. And it can sharpen our wits. :boxer::bonk:

    The original question; "Does God Exist".
    I say yes, but a better question might be what is God?

    Good point. In any discussion, define your terms first.
