that does not mean God does not exist
Yes it absolutely does mean that the god of christian theism - the god and father of Jesus - does not exist.

20A serious question for any who believe in any God of any religion who think God is interested in humans.
by smiddy inthe world health organization states that in the year 2015 ,5.9 million children died under the age of 5 years of age.. in 2010 the death rate for children under the age of 5 years of age was 7.6 million.
thats over 13 million in just 2 years .
i dont think you need to be a rocket scientist to conclude that since mankind has been on the earth for however long you want to believe and i`m just going on a conservative estimate of 6000 years by the above figures i quoted their would be billions of children under 5 yearsof age that would have died.

Infinity versus nothing
by Fisherman insome people like to believe in something others believe in nothing; so in what location did the substance that expanded into the time/space universe exist before the big bang?
where did the energy that caused the big band come from?
how did the substance that became the big bang change from being inert and sterile and come to life to having the properties and drive that it does?

Excluding God from the picture doesn't solve that central problem or mystery. - SBF
Excluding god eliminates a foolish distraction. God adds absolutely nothing to the conversation.
Of course why is there something rather than nothing is the ultimate question. Superstitious people who pretend they know the answer have nothing useful or even interesting to say.

only God can answer
That's a non-answer. It's no different from the way our ancestors believed that thunder was caused by the gods.
It's also the best you can hope for from a Brahma Kumaris apologist.

Seriously? Slamming doors, spilling a drink and shouting? Wow - Simon
My thoughts too.
Historically Scotland has a problem with drink-fuelled domestic violence. The Holyrood matriarchy have declared war. Common sense and police discretion are no longer an option.

Serpent in the Garden of Eden is not Satan
by anointed1 inmany interpret serpent in the garden of eden as the satan hence miss the whole point because satan himself does not exist.
he is a fictional character [for example, in the temptation account, satan is shown as reflecting the erroneous belief of ancient time that shape of earth is flat, thus taking jesus to the top of “a very high mountain” and showed him “all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.” (mathew 4:8, 9) the fact that jesus did not correct the mistaken view of satan shows the account of temptation is allegorical.
further, jesus knew that satan was only a personification of evil (mathew 16:23; john 6:70) and categorically declared that “all evil thoughts proceed from one’s heart,” not from satan.

As JW's we denied the Christian doctrine of an inherent fallen nature,
A sick and dehumanising dogma.
Parents who tell their children that they are fallen sinners are guilty of emotional and mental abuse.

Twenty Questions For Perry - Answers are in the links
1. Since some proteins can be assembled in more ways than there are atoms in the universe why do the sequences of amino acids and bases vary between species in exactly the way evolution predicts? 1, 2..
2. Why do humans and other primates have virus DNA, and other bits of non-coding text, in exactly same place in their genomes? 3, 8, 10
..
3. Why do humans and other species have broken genetic code for features that they no longer possess? 4, 5, 7, 9, 29
..
4. Why does human chromosome 2 consist of two primate chromosomes joined end-to-end? 6
..
5. How do you explain the amazing fossils that demonstrate major transitions? 11, 16, 18, 24
..
6. Why do the same fossils always appear in the same layers of rock in a way that is totally predictable? 23
..
7. Who were the hominids that walked upright more than 3 million years ago? 20, 21
..
8. Why do humans have vestigial features? 19, 22, 30
..
9. Why does the distribution of species align exactly with evolution? 14, 15
..
10. How does creationism explain bad design like the recurrent laryngeal nerve? 13
..
And a bonus question for "young-earth" creationists...
How do you explain geological features like the unconformity at Siccar Point? 25
..
Explanations of natural selection and examples of how it works can be found at the following posts 12, 17, 26, 27, 28

Oh look Perry has found a website that lists logical fallacies. This will from now on be his excuse for never answering a question.
Do you have some sort of degree in the subjects in which present yourself as an expert?
No but I am a bit of an expert as a result of hard work to educate myself about something I was ignorant about. I used to be a creationist like you even though I now realise I knew nothing about the subject. Here are a few posts for you start your education. It will be a few hours that could change your life..
#1 Protein Functional RedundancyComparing the sequences of amino acids in ubiquitous proteins confirms the relationship between all living things.

Domestic violence is a top priority of Police Scotland and the courts. They don't require the victim's cooperation to bring a prosecution.
The article is badly written with a run-on sentence. Did he appear in court while on bail or did he commit the offense while on bail?

Carbon dating dino fossils is like using a digital stopwatch to measure the speed of a glacier.
Embarrassing! Try to know a little bit about what you are criticising. Soft tissue in fossils is very exciting. It offers no comfort at all to creationists by the way.
Still waiting for you to answer my question.
