vampires, warewolfs, pixies, chupacabra, big foot, santa, moon-men, boogie-man, great pumpkin, trolls, fairies, hobbits, langoliers, centaurs, wizzards, and doppleganger lollygaggs?
Christians, I appreciate debate, but when yor questions are almost all, "prove god does not exist", you have clearly given up. I am not saying that God does not exist, I am saying I believe there is an equal chance god and the doppleganger lollygag exist, however slim.

Its a valid argument though. Look at ALL the people constantly posting with "Prove God exists", when it is clear noone can.
A fact that should be posted on the board every 5 minutes is, you cant prove he does, you cant prove he doesnt, everything is opinion and belief, and thats what makes the debate. Proof in religious debate is mute.

There is evidence that suggest some of those things do exist...but until we see a body or credible footage of one of those beasts, then its going to be considered Mythology.
Cryptozoologists are trying to prove that Big Foot exists, and probably the Chupacabra....but not Santa and the Boogey Man, because THOSE are myths. but they still exist in thoughts and stories, just not as a natural being? You understand?
Even though Big Foot & the Chupacabra are considered myths, there have been very strange things that have been found to spark the interests of scientists.
But proving the existence of the Divine is something harder, because it something we all feel if we let our selves feel it.
I believe that the beautiful life on this planet, and the pictures that the Hubble Telescope has taken, shows that something of a divine source is working here....thats just my opinion though, because I think BEAUTY is DIVINE.
Believe as you wish!

I care little to nothing whether these creatures you list exist in imagination or real life. They are meaningless to me because I know God personally and know He rules the entire universe and everything in it.
There is tons of evidence for the existence of God to those who are willing to take the time to look seriously and don't spend their time playing games with words.
The universe is filled with miracles. The Bible tells us that God hung the worlds on nothing. Gravity or the lack thereof is a miracle in itself. The variety and size of the planets and solar system(s) cannot be explained any other way. The complexity of the human body and how a woman's body can expand and contract through the process of child birth. The hummingbird hanging in the air with wings beating 10,000 revolutions a minute or something like that. The incredible varieties of life including plant and animal life that didn't just happen by chance. The creative talent in every individual on earth given by the Master Creator. The fact that there are no two humans on earth with the same fingerprints and there are billions of people living here now. The fact that except for twins and triplets and etc. there are very few humans who resemble one another. The changing of the seasons that have been the same since time began (although mankind is trying to alter it by foolish ecological practices), The vast oceans and mountain ranges, icebergs, the multitude of stars
in the sky at night and the way the sun automatically comes up during the day and the moon at night, the brilliant sunsets and sunrises, the intellect of mankind (little used but we have been able to achieve a lot since the horse and buggy), the thunder and lightning and man's inability to control the forces of nature, and much more from the natural side.
From the spiritual side: The fact that God can take a sinful person like me and totally turn my life around by cleansing my sinful heart and making me want to live Godly and holy in this life, The power that comes when I pray in the name of Jesus Christ and demons depart from humans and/or buildings, the power to pray for someone who is sick and see them healed,
the certain knowledge that when I die I will be spending my eternity in the presence of a loving and merciful God even though I don't deserve the least of His mercies, the fact that God is still allowing people who mock Him to live in their ignorance and giving them multiple opportunities to repent before they move on into eternity and eternal punishment, and so much more.
I don't want you to prove that God doesn't exist. You couldn't do that with your best efforts if you lived one million years times one million years and more because you would be trying to prove something that is not proveable. Everyone will know that God exists immediately after they die. Some will be rejoicing and others will be cursing the day they were born
and even more the day they rejected the counsel of God and His people.
Quit playing around with life and get serious about finding truth and God will reveal Himself to you. Keep on playing with this to your own hurt. The devil (who also is real) is in your corner cheering you on. He wants to welcome you with open arms (of hate and malice) to his kingdom, and I am sure you know what that is.
One more thing: Down deep in your heart there is a piece of you that is screaming out that God is real and begging you to turn to Him before it is too late. Romans Chapter One tells us that God has put the knowledge of Himself in every person
so that none will have an excuse on judgment day. What we do individually with that knowledge is up to us.

I am pretty sure that we can prove most of these creatures originate from stories invented by men. We never saw any of them. No one ever presented us a credible testimony of having seen such a creature.
We know God exists because we Jesus came on earth 2000 years ago. There were hundreds of witnesses. There are four very reliable testimonies of witnesses (the gospels). There are no contradictions, they are all historically correct. They were written by men who saw Jesus. They tell us that He is the Son of God and that he died and resurrected. They saw him after his death. Jesus was also prophesied all over in the old testament.

I beg your pardon. But, your question is a form of "transferring the burden of proof" . It's like saying: 'since no one can prove that Unicorns do not exist, then unicorns must indeed exist'. It is error in logic

I don't believe that those exist because I've never experienced them. While some will say the same about God, I feel that I have experienced God, and can say for a fact that He is real to me.

Methodists teach that God is a natural spirit that directs the universe, but not a super human sitting on a throne and watching our every move. This is more acceptable. Do you agree?

I'm proof against the non-existence of the Varulf. The myths of just how literal our transformations are, are simply over blown after centuries of oral tradition.

What is wrong with you. How dare you not give equal time to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. You had better hope that she too does not exist, because otherwise she might come after you.

Sylvia Browne says if the words exist, then somewhere they must be real. Could be other planets that have fairy tale life on them. No one knows. I believe if it has been created, it exists somewhere. Maybe in our dreams they only exist but it still exists right.
