why do you believe that there is AIR?

I agree...

You can "capture" air molecules, and even look at them under an electron microscope, but...

You certainly cannot capture "God" in a flask or "slide" or even on camera, so...

The comparison is lame...

Okay here is new material. There is no empirical evidence of anything before the big bang. Scientists agree that the big bang is evidence for a creator. (Anything that begins to exist must have had a cause). But many scientists unhappy with the theological implications have embraced many theories about mulitverse etc just to avoid the big bang. Yet they have no evidence while the big bang does have evidence. So how is it they can embrace that belief without evidence and reject the notion of God claiming there is no evidence?

Yes, you can spray a can of spray paint into the air and see it move. You can measure the components (CO, CO2, N2, O2, etc) of air by passing it through a mass spectrometer. You can gather data about air.

There is plenty of evidence that air exists. There still is absolutely no evidence that any god exists.

are you comparing the sight of air with god? That's not what they mean when they say that. What it means is that you can't see air but you live and thrive on it, just like you do with god, its what keeps you alive and even when you can see it you can feel.

Just because one person makes a stupid comparison doesn't mean all of us Christians are stupid, or that our beliefs are either.

Stupid people don't make me sick. I try to be patient and kind with them, because that is the Christian thing to do.

Mind you, sometimes I want to smack them, but that's because I'm not a very good Christian.

So you don't believe you breathe air like the rest of us?

What exactly do you breathe then?

I usually just reply, "wind, *****."

Just to keep it on the most basic level, of course-- they obviously don't realize that air isn't actually, chemically, invisible.

people who ask that prolly didnt get much higher than a C in science classes in highschool

The point is.....that you need faith to believe in AIR, just as much as you need faith to believe in God because you cannnot see either!!

I've seen air microscopically...
