Describe one, then prove it happened.
Go ahead.
Bwa ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaa :-)
(You almost had me there for a second)
Did you know that wine can be dehydrated into a powder? It's called, funnily enough, "wine powder". It's been around as long as wine's been around because wine is too heavy to carry on long trips in liquid form.
Guess what happens when you add it to water?
That's right.

I could say if there is a God why is there so much suffering and heartache in the world. Why do children die sensless deaths while evil rulers live a life of luxury?
Why do people tourture and kindnap people? Why are some people termanilly ill and others live to be 100? Is this all "Gods" doing as well? If there was a God wouldn't the world be a perfect place? Maybe there is more than one God and the Gods are at war and we are suffering for it? Hummm maybe that's it......I don't buy any of it. I believe in facts and science anything else is just something for the weak to cling to

If by "God's great miracles and works," you're referring to the vast complexities of nature and the universe, then it's because there's more rational explanations for them.
If you're referring to this guy that parted the red sea and the like, then I don't believe for the same reason I don't believe in Batman. It's just a story.

I'm with Godless... show me ANY miracle that "god" has performed and then prove without a shadow of doubt that it was the work of "god" and then I'll more than happily believe in it.
Funny thing is, you can't now, never will and therefore neither will I!

Show me a miracle and I'll believe.
Things that DO NOT qualify as a miracle:
A baby's laughter.
A baby's birth.
A rainbow.
A sunrise/sunset.
Someone who was told she couldn't concieve gets knocked up.
Someone comes out of a 30 year coma.
Someone who walks against all odds.
Want to show me a miracle? Show me an amputee growing their limb(s) back.

I don't get what you're asking. If I don't believe in a flying purple dragon why would I believe in the dragon's fire?
If you mean sunsets, babies' smiles, love, life, happiness, the Grand Canyon, galaxies, I believe all that stuff, but I don't think I need God to explain it therefore I don't need to call it "God's work".

I even have long gone from desirous to have faith yet finding all of it somewhat inconceivable whilst i replaced right into a new child, to beginning as much as gain it truly did not make experience, to admitting i replaced into an atheist yet wishing that i could in basic terms forget approximately reason and have faith because of the fact i concept i could be happier. suitable now I even have grown previous that, and understand one may well be chuffed no be counted what they think, and it would not make experience for me to forget approximately approximately reason with the intention to have faith in a god and/or the bible. whilst i glance returned i understand that the clarification I caught with my perception for as long as I did replaced into because of the fact of that overwhelming worry of hell my monks and my family contributors tried to brainwash me with. and that i do rejoice with faith as a cultural phenomenon, and study the bible not because of the fact it somewhat is real, yet because of the fact it somewhat is representative of the society wherein it originated, the individuals who have faith it, and a few of that's exciting/reliable/hilarious. i don't could take it as real to nicely known the mythology and revel in it. It does look to me that in case you do not take the bible to be real you at the instant are not truly a christian. in case you suspect in a greater physically powerful potential, then you definately can call your self a deist at maximum, yet not a christian who's had to have faith each and all of the doctrine, in any different case the be conscious could lose its meaning.

Can't because you need to be more specific about great works, like which are you talking about, and by the way, I am not an atheist, but I think if I was you should be more clear!

In Bible, read John:
3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Huh? What miracles and works? I don't believe in God, so I don't believe that he is responsible for all those so called 'miracles'.

You don't get why we don't believe in God, but don't accept that miraculous events are the work of God? You'd think that would be kind of self explanatory.
Do I really need to go into any detail?
