I hear things like this offered all the time by christians as "evidence" of god's existence:

"God is real, just look around at all the beauty....The Sky, the trees and flowers. How can you look at the miracle of a newborn baby and deny the existence of god?".

Question: How is that different from an ancient egyptian using this as evidence of Ra?:

"Ra is real, just look around at all the beauty....The Sky, the trees and flowers. How can you look at the miracle of a newborn baby and deny the existence of Ra?".

bubba: The ONLY reason christianity is so popular today is because it was declared the official religion of Rome in the 300's. Nearly every religion in the area was squashed after that time.

Jaime M: That's a typical stupid christian answer. Don't you get the point????? Are you telling me that the christian god is the ONLY GOD to ever be believed as the creator of Mankind? Are you serious? Replace "RA" above with ANY GOD and then answer my question. You have do resort to beating around the bush because you know that you have no more evidence to support the existence of your god than I have to support Ra, Osiris, Poseidon...etc.
(Nice try though)

Little Lady: Ok, lets try that biblical experiment today. You pray for Jesus or God to heal all children with cancer......I'll pray for Ra to heal all children with aids and lets see what happens. You know what will happen.....there will be no healings. Face it your god is imaginary....like Ra.

Well, I see your point, but Ra is not real. If you read the bible there was a test between Elijah and the profits of Ra. They both built an alter and the called on there god. The profits went first. They called for Ra to burn the alter until they were horse. Then Elijah had them drench his alter with water. Then he called on God and He answered. God sent fire down to the alter, and that alter was burned, even though it was wet it still was on fire.

It is hard to believe in something you can't see, but that is where faith comes in. I have faith in God. He spared my life many times.
God is all around us, but we can't see Him, we can only see His work.

Worship of Ra has ceased, because Ra was not real. Had Ra been real, He would have seen to it that his followers would not have disappeared. People of the Word, aka Christians and Jews are still alive and kicking. If you ever look around and can't find any Christians or Jews, then and only then can you truthfully say that God was not real.

Ra was never named as the creator.

so it would be usless to use that in reference to his existence.
good try though.

perhaps you should reply:

"Yes- the world is beautiful.
and which ancient diety do you believe is responsible?"
