Christians and most religious folks. Would you mind telling us what you believe absolute truth is?

as well as what absolute proof is?

I understand that most of you do not just believe god exists but instead you have convinced yourself that your belief of god existing is an absolute truth.

Is this just your absolute truth or is it everybody's absolute truth if they believe god exists?

But please let's before you answer the last question explain to us what you think absolute truth is and what absolute proof is

Thanks

    Absolute truth is objective truth. It is always correct. It is not subject to interpretation or influence.

    Absolute proof seems to me to be beyond our normal standard of proof. In courts in a civil trial, we have a standard of preponderance of the evidence, a standard that means something is more likely than not. In criminal courts, we have a standard of beyond a reasonable doubt, a standard that means a reasonable person would have their concerns and questions answered and be certain of the guilt of a person. Absolute proof seems to be a standard that requires complete and total certainty, without any doubt whatsoever.

    I think you're wrong to suggest then that religious belief is a matter of absolute proof.

    If God exists, then that is an absolute truth that affects everyone. If he doesn't exist, then that also is an absolute, objective truth which impacts us all. There is no relative truth about God; he cannot exist only for those who believe in him and not exist for those who do not. He either exists or he does not exist.

    Absolute truth is truth that is not dependent on time, culture, circumstances. It is the same across all lines and boundaries.

    Absolute proof, a term I don't hear often, I suppose would mean a proof that has a mathematical or deductively sound certainty.

    Absolute truth: God.

    Absolute proof: What you experience firsthand with your whole being.

    Magic doesn't exist. Therefore neither does evolution. I believe in science therefore how can I believe in magic without a magician which is the basis of evolution. I observe life giving life therefore a life had to exist to give life.

    I see a plan in that life. I see symbiosis with all life. That takes knowledge about what each kind of life needs to exist. I dont see life waiting millions of years for food to evolve or for the ability for it to reproduce.

    Evolution explains itself as being like a box of mixed marbles that put itself in order and no one was there to put them in order. Either evolution is intelligent or something made it that way.

  • If you said god isn't exist, some people maybe say "show to us, that god isn't exit? can you show it".

    Honestly,I can't show you the concrete proof that god is exist. But, if you ask "did your holy book exist?". I will say. yes it is ....
