Would seeing the sea part make you believe in God?

[King of Rasslin]

I think several thousand Hebrew guys seeing the sea part and let them pass, but then kill the Eygptian guys, is evidence enough. If it was a fake story, then it would die out. But you can't argue with thousands of Hebrew guys.

Also, God destroyed 2 cities that were full of sinners. He seems to be allowing us to destroy ourselves now. Why won't people believe in Him if they don't believe thousands of people seeing something only God can do?

If I saw the sea part I'd probably think it was time to give up drinking.

Well ive never seen a miracle. When i do see one, ill change my views on god.

The Palestinians have been doing that for years.

God has been so quiet lately, so god must be dead.

You beat me

You are assuming a false story dies out... hmm... then I wonder why people know about King Arthur and Robin Hood (especially since both were also passed off as historical fact for a while)

Although I believe in God (though perhaps a bit differently from how you believe in him), your reasons for believing in him aren't fool proof. Faith is something from within.... from the heart and mind and can not be proved by 'science' or even 'experience'. It is 'proved' as well as it can be in your own mind. If one is seeking miracles to prove God, he has a tendency to create miracles in his mind, for his yearning for God is so great...

Why should I believe God did it???

Why not Allah, or Buddha - or some central African animist God...???

What gives you the arrogance to assume that if I were to see some supernatural parting of the waves, it would be God's work?

Why do you appear to believe in God over Shintoism - are you saying Shintoism is a false belief?

This is one of the main reasons that humankind's current theistic belief system is shot to hell...

I get the impression(in England anyway) that less and less people are believing in god. I was at school last year and i didnt know of a single person who went to church. I think there was one but he only went because his parents made him. Also, none of my friends or there parents go to church. Ive never even been myself. Not once!

[King of Rasslin]

It was Yahweh who parted the sea beacuse He said so. No other god claimed it.

And there is no way thousands of people would get drunk and see the same thing at the same time. They didn't drink because they were being chased by an army of angry war chariots.

With the Red Sea parting thing I think it should be double or nothing.

Oh well, only 0,1% of the people witnessed any single simple part of evolution happen, but eventhough most of us believe in it anyway.

If the entire universe can come out of one single particle (that came out of nothing) then why would it be impossible to split the sea?

We all believe in miracles, don't we? And we need no evidence for it

A couple of generations and no one will believe in god anymore, well in the western world anyway. Im sure in the middle east they will carry on just like they are now though.

I thought you meant if I were to see it now...

As Speer says, many of those Biblical stories have about as much credibility as the stories of Arthurian Legend.

All I know is that God has been conspicuous by his absence lately

Or any other deity for that matter...
