" I am not saying that we should believe there is God, but I am saying that there is a possibility for God."i would not dispute that, anymore than i would dispute the possible existance of the Devil, Angels or other world aliens living among us.unless "possibility" is ruled out, anything left is possible. however "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof".
We have a great number of anecdotal evidences for God from all cultures around the world
A lot of miracles that happen are stuff that we understand completely if we were to allow for the possibility of God's existence. If we were not to allow for the possibility of God, these miracles are impossible.It is possible that God's nature is a personal relationship. Why do we suppose that God wants to advertise and appear on Youtube? If our relationship with God is a personal, private relationship, asking God to prove Himself publicly would counter the very idea of that. According to theology, it is our life's journey to seek God. There is no seeking if there is no hiding. God hides from us, we have to seek.Knowledge of this world is what we seek, because when we know, there is no need to believe. The more knowledge we have of the nature of this world, the less we need to believe anything, we would simply know. We as scientists choose to take the path of science towards knowledge. It is a good path. Some go through the religious path, it leads to the same place. Truth is absolute, there is no false dichotomy. Either something is true or it is not.

If there was a God , God would occupy infinite space and be finite , so what is beyond God? More space thats what . God is a concept for mediocre minds living in a bubble , literally speaking the scientist who looks down at you who you look up too , is looking up and asking what is God ? Well , God , is coming for this scientist too , to create such a evil chit world like this is mediocre minded and God is not at all happy . They think they are God , they haven't even met God yet who is coming for them. They think they all big and hard and all that , the almighty , well the news is , the future is glim for them indeed and nothing is going to save them from Gods karma .

According to my limited understanding of Christian theology, all the death and suffering in the modern world was caused by evil that started it all. God gave us full freedom to commit evil. Are we to blame God for giving us this freedom?

Would you consider having a personal belief in God as causing harm to others?I can give you at least 4000 years of case histories where it does...

"If I left a kid in a room full of boxes of matches, would it be reasonable for me to say the ensuing fire wasn't my fault?"yes, absolutely!

I think you will find that God is solely responsible for putting th serpent in the garden of Eden even though He knew what would happen.If not Him, then who?If I left a kid in a room full of boxes of matches, would it be reasonable for me to say the ensuing fire wasn't my fault?
You don't even need the test of "reasonably" foreseeable. If your god is omniscient, he must have foreseen everything and is therefore liable for all that harms you, including congenital syphilis - just one small creature of the creator. If he isn't omniscient, he is of no value as a god.
