Hey, Andy.

<snipped>...nor would I regard God as a "separate, physical entity in heaven".  In fact, very few Christians would regard God in this way, so I think that you might find some very interesting things within the debates here.

I thought most Abrahamic religious followers would have said that god is separate from the place known as heaven; doesn't the bible state as much when it says that god created the heavens? If god created us, the Earth, indeed the universe and everything in it (and the heavens), god must be separate from it, and a sentient being of some kind, no?

We recently migrated from a very old site, which no longer had support of any sort; as a result, we haven't created any 'rules' as such, but you will soon find out what is acceptable and what is not!!

Gotcha. Thanks for the headsup.

<snipped>...
- but I think you will find it nigh-on impossible to find any purely 'objective evidence for god's existence'; despite what most scientists claim, it is hard to find any even in that field - different people interpret the same evidence in slightly different ways, even there.

Not sure I'd agree with that. I can think of many things for which there is purely objective evidence. For example, that we dwell on a planet, that there is light, that biological life exists, that there is a star (the sun) close to our planet that we can see from Earth, and so on. I?d probably suggest that anyone who disputes these as objective facts provide evidence to the contrary.

We can show empirical, objective evidence that there are biological life-forms in existence that human beings have named ?dogs?.. but nobody seems to be able to do the same for any of their gods.

The bible claims that some humans have actually met god, personally. Yet, today, there isn't a shred of [physical] proof for its existence. Would it not follow that if something exists that has a personal relationship with this Earth and the life-forms on it.. that there would be some kind of physical evidence (outside of personal testimony) for its existence?

Alas, this question seems to be sharply avoided by 'faith in god's existence'.

Indeed welcome.  I'm a Unitarian, a church which is big enough to contain pantheists and even atheists!

Hey, Boudi. Thank you, too, for the welcome.
