If I claim that 12 equally sized lines can form a square box....?

Question

...... I would be happy to proof it to you.

Now if you claim that a God exist - would you be happy to proof that to me in a similar way?

Aren't ANYOME able to just answer the question as it is?
Focusing on the box is NOT the answer!

Answer 1

LOL. they'd say, "yes" and hand you a bible.

Answer 2

Well that is true only if you utilize Euclidian geometry, if you utilize the geometry of Reimann or Lobachesky--a square box is a phsyical impossibility. In reality--the square box you have is not actually square. The side closest to the gravity field (this side down) sits in an infentesimally more warped space than the top. For all practical purposes it is square-looks square--but nature says it's not. Therefore your proof--or that of a fundie--depends on your how you define your terms.

Answer 3

God is quite a bit more ethereal than geometry.

Let's make the wager a more even playing field: you prove to me that your preference for tomatoes over Brussels sprouts is real and not just an illusion or a trick of your mind, and I'll prove to you that God exists in the same way. Ok?

Answer 4

You mean a cube. Understanding the 12-line thing is easy, not at all subtle. Even stones get it. However, stones can't understand subtleties like God, unless said stones decide they don't want to be stones any more, so forget it. Besides, maybe they can't help it. Who am I to say?

Answer 5

Well, what you are offering is a PICTURE of a square box, but not the box itself.

And what I can offer you in return is a PICTURE of God - the picture of God is represented in Old and New Testaments of the Bible.

Answer 6

Are you trying to compare apples with oranges?

Since a square box is composed of FOUR equally sized lines, you can NOT prove your initial statement.

But concerning God, I have said this over and over again, but the skeptics, scoffers and mockers give me a thumbs down, thus proving that they don't believe only because they don't WANT to believe!

The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. (Or, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" - take your choice.)

You go down to any Teen Challenge center and watch the power of God at work in the lives of the "students".

See what happens to a person who commits their life to God.

In my OWN life, I was set free from a lifestyle of drug abuse, booze, cigs, et cetera. All in a moment of time (well, maybe 3 seconds). But mine is not the only story of God working in the lives of people who turn to God.

If one person says their lives were changed, it might be chalked up to mistaken identities, or whatever.

If 2 or 3 people make that claim, it could be a conspiracy to pull the wool over your eyes.

But when literally MILLIONS of people since Jesus first walked this earth, make that same claim, you can no longer chalk it up to hypnosis, deception, or false claims.

Like I said, the proof is in the pudding, and Jesus STILL changes lives.

But understand THIS: God said that He HIDES Himself from the proud, the arrogant, the mocker, et cetera, but gives grace to the humble. He said in the book of Jeremiah, "If you seek for me, then you shall find me, when you search for me WITH ALL YOUR HEART, and I WILL be found of you, says Jehovah".

So, if you can't find Jesus, look at your OWN attitude first.

And, if you don't like this answer for whatever reason, remember what I said at the beginning - you don't believe in God because you don't WANT to believe in God, and you prove I'm right by your negative reaction to my answer. (Jesus was pretty blunt about it. He said that people refuse to come to Him because they are wicked and they don't want to be exposed by the light. Like it or lump it, that's what JESUS said, not ME. I didn't make it up, I'm only paraphrasing HIS words.)

Answer 7

Look around you, man!

If you see beauty, where does that concept come from?
If you see evil, where does that come from?

How about DNA? Or maybe those supercomputers we have sitting between our ears?

Lord Kelvin was right: He said that freethinking would drive you straight to a belief in God.

Answer 8

read Romans chapter one. it is all the proof God will give you.

you will stand before him then it will be too late.

what if i say your denial is proving the bible?

ill be glad to prove it to you Psalm 14:1 and 53:1

Answer 9

i dont want to be smart but you can not make a square box with lines it goes wrong in the corners

Answer 10

What cannot be felt cannot be 'proofed' by he who will not feel.

Answer 11

If you claimed apples were oranges would it be a valid argument?
