Nature, as it is known to scientists, has no room for things with no use. There is a reason for everything, and for every attribute of any species, whether size, porosity of bones, diet, length of the arm, opposable thumbs, to all these there is some purpose that enhances the survival of any given species, and some relationship of each species to other species.

Except color.

There are many varieties of life besides plants that exist without vision at all, and others that are simply monochromatic. Many live deep in the ocean or are nocturnal when there is only black and white.

Yet color exists. More than exist, it exists in a glorious variety in things like the color of the sky that serve absolutely no natural purpose whatsoever. Would it really change anything on the planet for the sky to be a uniform color?

Except that they are really enjoyable to look at.

Science cannot adequately explain the purpose of color. Its very existence argues for the existence of God.

I don't think so. It doesn't make a great deal of sense to start debating the existence of God before having a clear understanding of the nature of this debate itself. Being clear on what is being debated (God) is certainly vital, but no less vital are questions like whether there is any point to the debate in the first place, the "ground rules" for this debate, and the purpose for debating. Without having those in place, you're much more likely to just talk in circles and never get anywhere.

There is a common perception that there must be “something more” to atheism than simply disbelief in gods because atheists so often debate theists. What’s the point of debating if not to convert someone to some other philosophy or religion? It is, then, fair to ask why atheists get involved in such debates and what they hope to achieve. Does this show that atheism is some sort of philosophy or even a religion?

First, many of these debates wouldn’t occur if theists weren’t trying to convert atheists. Some atheists seek out debate, but many are content to simply discuss things amongst themselves. The fact that an atheist responds to prompting from a theist does not suggest there is anything “more“ to atheism. Second, there is a legitimate interest in educating people about atheism, agnosticism, and freethought.

There are many myths and misconceptions about them and people are justified in trying to dispel them.
Sometimes, though, debates are engaged by atheists not merely as nonbelievers, but as nonbelievers who are trying to promote reason and skepticism. The specifics of the debate may be about theism and religion, but the purpose of the debate is supposed to be the encouragement of reason, skepticism, and critical thinking. Any encouragement of atheism is incidental to that.

When participating in such discussions, it is important to remember that not all theists are wildly irrational and illogical — if that were so, it would be easier to simply dismiss them. Most are genuinely attempting to be reasonable and some manage to do a fair job. Treating them as if they never heard of logical arguments only serves to put them on the defensive and prevents anything from being accomplished.

Psychologically speaking, people don’t like to change or abandon comforting beliefs. They are, however, more likely to do so when it is their own idea to make the change. Real change best comes from within and your best bet is to first make sure that they have the tools that will help them reconsider their beliefs.

Yes, He is very real. He will exist even when the entire world passes away. He has always been and will always be. He is the Creator of the World and Father to all believers. He will reveal Himself to you if you sincerely ask Him too. If you are half atheist, my friend, what is making up the other half?

There is nothing we can do to prove nor disprove the existence of the divine...

Its about feeling the connection anyways, and that cannot be shown by any scientific method.

The only proof I could give you would be the natural world, but even with that, people misinterpret what that means.

Its all up to you...
Good luck on your journey..

Perhaps there is some kind of controlling element. But we also create God in our own image. We come up with this big daddy that scolds us and punishes us.

Correct. People believe because everybody else believes. Except for a few brave souls that have courage to say, He doesn't! You just "think" he does.

Yes he does exist. I know it may hard to believe. But you just got to have faith that their is a God in heaven. If you wait to long to believe in him you may go to hell.

That is like being half drunk. Do the job properly or leave it for a man who will.
