Ray Comfort’s proof of a god without the bible
After ABC ran a story in January about hundreds of atheists videotaping themselves blaspheming the Holy Spirit, best-selling author Ray Comfort contacted the network and offered to prove God’s existence, absolutely, scientifically, without mentioning the Bible or faith.

Really? Go on, then.
We could put a dozen scientists in a laboratory and tell them to observe this painting and I’m sure, after a while, they would come to the conclusion that there was a painter that painted the painting.
…
Why? Because the painting is absolute observable proof there was a painter. And exactly the same applies to the existence of god. How do we know god exists, you can’t see him, hear him, touch him, taste him or smell him? Well, creation is one hundred percent scientific proof there was a creator. You can not have a creation without a creator. You don’t need faith to believe in a creator, all you need is eyes that can see and a brain…
…
My aim is to simply stir your conscience so it will do it’s “god given”1 duty. If you harden your heart you won’t hear its voice. So here we go, now let’s look at some of the commandments…

Oops. Now, STFU.

![Massiv In Mensch - [non-album tracks]](http://www.nullifidian.net/wp-content/plugins/ilastfm/cache/33011727.jpg)



Almost all the theists I know have said that the whole magnificent thing about belief is that you can’t prove it… I guess you just say you have to believe needlessly. Good luck with proving the existence of any god(s)! Especially yours!
Was this from the video with the bloke and the girl debating with him and Kirk Cameron (Martin Bashir acting as host)?
If so, the arguments put forward by Comfort were so excruciatingly painful to watch it nearly broke me.
The Atheist debaters were like badly skills school children, yet they truly ran rings round Comfort / Cameron. If only all theists were as convincing as these two… :-)
[...] the debate with the “Rational Response Squad.” It has been mentioned on this blog, Nullfidian’s Blog and Pharyngula if you want to read more / watch the [...]
Frankly, I wasn’t even interested in what the RRs had to say. The whole idea of the “debate” was for Comfort to provide proof of his god without referring to faith or the bible. He failed to do so. Dismally. End of story.
His argument of “[m]y aim is to simply stir your conscience so it will do it’s ‘god given’ duty” is just an unapologetic admission to a blatent appeal to emotion. He had no science, no evidence, no facts: nothing. Hell, he didn’t even have an argument, just wishful thinking and a guilt trip.
Like most theists, really… :-)
Well, I didn’t want to say anything… ;-)
Apparently the brain isn’t really a requirement.
I saw the “debate” on Nightline. It is true that the members of the Rational Response Squad weren’t as articulate as one would have hoped, though a chimp probably could have outshined Cameron and Comfort.

The video cuts out there, but I seem to recall from another edit that I saw that he continues “a brain to understand” or words to that effect, although it’s entirely possible that I just hallucinated the entire thing.
One should remember that Cameron is an actor and Comfort is a preacher, both very comfortable in front of a camera and audience. The RRs haven’t had anywhere near as much experience of public speaking.
I’m interested in seeing it, but only in a morbid rubbernecking-at-a-car-crash kind of way. I don’t expect to learn anything new.
‘chimp probably could have outshined Cameron and Comfort.’
People have paid good money for ‘paintings’ by chimps.
Call me when Cameron and Comfort produce a painting that was willed into existence from nothing.
