The argument is wholly specious. By that logic, poverty doesn't exist. Death doesn't exist.

Yet we've all been cold, we've all been in dark rooms, we've all known people who had little money, and we've all known someone who has died.

What we're really talking about is recognition of a particular conditional state. Heat is caused by molecular movement, and molecules can be induced to move at differing speeds. When the molecules slow down, it gets "colder."

The fact that we have a word we use to identify this concept, the fact that we have a general understanding of what it means, proves to me, anyway, that the condition of cold exists, at the very least in the conceptual sense.

We have refrigerators and freezers so that we can take advantage of the fact that it does exist.

The fact that there is a condition, which in and of itself is the antithesis of some other condition, in no way invalidates the "existence" of the former.

I would agree, though, that "evil" doesn't exist. "Good" and "evil" are just anthropocentric shorthand terms which have no utility outside of a wholly-human-based frame of reference.

The Bible was written by man. Hundreds upon hundreds of years after occurrences. Words that were passed down generation to generation, and as stories change hands...people added and took away.. Written by at first to instill fear then later, the New Testament...to show really who God is. There is absolutely no proof, no one can say actually what was said, what happened. Look now at the NIV version compared to say...The King James version. Vast changes in single words take on new meanings....
Yes, parables, psalms etc, etc all to ones own interpretations.

The bible was written by men according to their simple and primitive views about many life aspects . The more you read it the more you realize how ignorant it is !.

the idea of god is a figment of the masses imagination.
when humans couldnt understand something,and couldnt come up with a solid answer, they came up with an invisable answer....god....
god is a good way to explain away all the things we do not understand yet...

my favorite line of a song is...
is it you dont care? or are you only air?
built in our minds when we're in binds ans never really there....

You have very low standards of proof. Reproduction is simple biology.
