I was lost for a very long time and hopelessly lost. It was only after I prayed that I went in a random direction and found my way back. It wasn't until I put my faith in God that I found my way back.
Your turn to answer my question.
Again, the very first thing you said was "I don't need your research." You later go on say "Do some more research. Yours was inadequate." How can you make such a claim when, in the very same post, you admitted to not reading my research? Now that is another circumstance where you have faith about what my research is like without seeing it first hand. This is something I would like to hear your answer.
I'm sorry but not having results and then results coming subsequent to praying does not mean it is god. That is just completely and utterly illogical. You have to demonstrate it is the case.
That's like saying you weren't getting along with your girlfriend but you started brushing your teeth with a pencil and the relationship improved. So brushing your teeth with a pencil must improve relationships
What you are engaged in is actually a fallacy. Literally fallacious thinking. That means you are transgressing the bounds of reasonable thinking. Do you even realize that?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc. After x, therefore because of x. Humans have been using faulty thinking like yours for a long time now. Aristotle and his band of merry logicians came along to set us straight. You and most other Christian' didn't get the message (sorry I assume)
I said I didn't care about your research because it isn't something you can research. Unless you went to the middle east and started digging up ancient testimonies corroborated by extra biblical sources and evidence of his rising, or independent attestations to anything relevant, it doesnt matter. People have looked. As it is there is a book making claims WHICH ARE INSUFFICIENT evidence to meet the miraculous claims it purports. The burden of proof has not been met. You are not justified in your beliefs if you want to consider yourself reasonable.
