Theist tries to tell atheists what they believe

Trek said:
As I was going up the stair
I met a god who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today!
I wish, I wish he'd go away!
As cells form in gloopy goo
I find that me and my atheist crew
Are as happy as can be
For we are right
As long as we agree

Why does Trek lie about science?
Again and again with dumb defiance.
Citing stories, backward garbage.
Creationist nonsense, with IQ shortage.

PLEASE read a book, paper or journal.
A science text, something formal.
Let truth, wisdom and facts prevail.
Throw away those tribal tales.

Im just being lighthearted Pinball. People make colourful remarks about God, theists, and the concept of God and you don't seem to mind.

Okay. What evidence would convince you that such a being could be real. I’ll start off with the obvious one “the creation” itself

Yes that convinced me before I learned about science. That in combination with scripture.

What would convince me today? I would not know until I saw it.

It would have to be universal, every person on the planet. A personal revelation I would put down to mistake, coincidence, acute fever/illness or insanity.

I thought I actually said ""making things up." If I said "inferred" then fair enough.

Making things up to explain through reasoning is to infer.

Yes you agree all inferences are not equivalent?

Some you would trust, others dismiss out of hand?

I would never dismiss an inference out of hand. I would always look at the reasoning. To dismiss simply on the basis of being an inference, i.e. out of hand, would be fallacious.
But I would agree that not all reasoning is equivalent.

What was it about learning science that lead you to believe there is no God?

That was not it. I just accepted science was also something to do with god.
Scripture destroyed my faith. No point in repeating everything from my "losing my religion," thread. It's all there

What if it was universal. Over hails the planet?

Yes most likely. Does it matter which god we are talking about here?
If it was Yhwh, Jesus or Allah they would all get different responses from me.
If it was some sort of deistic god who thought it was about time he showed up and explained everything that would be interesting, however being convinced that a god is real, is not the same as wanting to praise one.

The other thing is that the rejection, for me at least was total. Not just the existence of a god but THE specific god of my religion Yhwh AND Jesus and absolutely everything that went with it. This was a long process in the making that ended up with no one but me and the Bible in the attic.

Once I was convinced that the Bible texts were conceived by men not a god I rejected:

OT stories as factual (big ones)
The existence of Yhwh.
The existence of ALL supernatural beings in the OT, gods and angels.
ALL supernatural events and claims.
Jesus as lord, saviour and son of a god
NT supernatural claims including miracles and resurrection.
Existence of heaven, hell, devil demons.
Concept of the soul.
