You will no doubt agree that evidence is comprised of items, observable or otherwise

Observable only, otherwise it is not evidence!

No one has any evidence of the existence of a God, ghost, etc, but the evidence of evolution is now so overwhelming, that is why the church now accepts it, no questions asked. It has been proven way beyond any reasonable doubt, and every creationist argument has been blown away.......I still say it was the butler who done it.... in the library though

You don't have to be religious to ask for money for charitable causes. My friends and I raise money for a school in the Philippines, but we provide entertainment for those that give via quiz nights etc.

I have been involved in the past with political groups who don't just ask for money but give time to help others/highlight problems that less fortunate people have.

You don't need religion to have passion and morals. Most of the morals we live by pre-date any of the modern religions, eg not killing others, having one partner etc.

If anyone can prove that their god exists then I will change my life. Until then I will challenge the existence of a so called greater being.

I di not mean to suggest that religious people have high morals and i ndeed avoided the word religious where possible. good and bad exist whether faith centered or not.

Observable only, otherwise it is not evidence!

hmmn! That is so not true but i think you might be kidding. Also it depends on what you mean by observable.

That is falsifiable. The Church? It would take so long to really lay the foundation for a challenge to these points and i have hogged enough of this thead unless someone wants me to address this privately.

Anyway its been excellent discussing on this thread in a mutually respectful way.
