My standart answer for that is:
"No, not believing in a god dont take out the meaning of my life, just as not believing in unicorns dont take it out, but what would takeout the meaning of my life, would be if i were created by a being that only created me for me to me be his slave, and that...
While i agree that Aron Ra, might not be able to desconvert that guy, i also think hes one of the best on debates, since he goes direct to the point of the matter...even if it is too direct for some people...
I have a big problem with that argument, because when someone say that, they are saying that are things that can exist without a begining...but that is even possible?
Even if something come to exist without any cause, it would still have a begining, and if one thing can come to exist without a...
Well, the problem with thats is that the believer, often make a lot of other assumptions like: "my god is imaterial, its outside of time, its not bound to the lawn of physics" ; and the big problem is even if your argument make sense internaly, that dosent mean it exists.
A good point i often...

You can click in all the objects, and get some brief information on each of them.
Ok, but would also "prove" anything that someone puts there, right?
Exchange the word 'god', for 'pink unicorn', and you just "proved" that the great Pink Unicorn, its the creator of all things.
So, how can someone give any credit for this Craig guy? Hes argument isnt even a new one...

The great problem i have with this miracles is, if...
So by this definition, the big bang was a miracle?
You know...very rare event....did not repeat (as far as i know), and its not necessary supernatural...but we still have evidence of that XD.
Thats true, but even if that makes you feel sad, thats irrelevant to the person that died, since her cant feel any more pain of sufering, shes dead and its over. Wanting a last goodbye, or a last "have a good day", its only to make you feel better, because would have no impact so ever on the...
Re: What evidence would you accept?
With this definition, this means that all faith is blind faith, to you?
For exemple: I have faith, faith that theres some planet out there with life, i cant say if would be inteligent life, or microscopic life, or even simple aminoacids, but i believe.

Re: What evidence would you accept?
People never tell the same story twice, each time a person tells a story, some detail changes, after the story passed many generations, it has litle of the original, its a new story; Short version: our memory suck.
Re: What evidence would you accept?
My definition of blind faith is, believing in something even when you have evidence against it; a good exemple of that, are those people that say that evolution dosent happen, or that the earth is 10.000 years old.
Re: What evidence would you accept?
Like its alread being sayd, theres also machines that record that experiment, also, an experiment can be reproduced by other people to confirm that result.
"Yeah...my fairy tale book, proves my fairy tale storys".
Iam sorry, you are right, i shouldnt...
