I don't understand your mathematical notation.
Edited to add - okay you sorted it now.
Homo sapiens are more like 200,000 years old.

Proof of God
by MrDantastic ini'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.
i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

blownaway you are being a pedant.
Question - Can I can prove that god does not exist?
Answer - Yes.
Two provisos as follows ....
1 - By 'god' I mean the god of christian theism, the god and father of Jesus.
2 - By 'prove' I mean prove beyond all reasonable doubt. Prove to the same degree of certainty that I am sure pink unicorns don't exist.
If by 'god' you mean some ambiguous notion of an ethereal, undefined and unkowable 'spirit' being then you need to go away and think about your question a bit more. Then when you are ready to define your terms we can talk some more.
If by 'prove' you mean as in the sense of a mathematical proof then you are confused about epistemology.

How did such tender ones survive till today? - Ireneus
Species adapt to wet, dry, hot conditions by evolution through natural selection. Compare a cactus with a water lily.
Jesus describes God as one who looks after everything. He looks after every living creature, and feeds each one according to its time.
Every non-human creature who has ever lived died of hunger, thirst, exposure, predation, disease or parasites.
You need to get your knowledge of the natural world from a source other than Walt Disney.

Why would you give agnostics any thought? Since, in your view, there is no God, what does it matter that some people don't know whether God exists or not? - dabster
An agnostic is NOT somebody who can't decide whether or not god exists. This is a common misunderstanding. An agnostic is a position that whether or not god exists is unknowable.
For the reasons I explained above this problem only arises because people are allowed to equivocate about the meaning of 'god'. If we insist that the one posing the question defines what they mean by 'god' then we can give a definite answer.
You seem bent on having people believe as you do. Why?
This is a religious discussion forum. When people raise topics about belief in god it is appropriate to comment on god. That is how a discussion works.
Perhaps you feel better about yourself if others agree with you
I don't care if every other person on the planet is a religious fundamentalist. It would make no difference at all to my position. I know what I believe and why. The agreement or approval of others is of no interest to me.
What does it matter if people are muddled?
Discussion and exchange of ideas can help make others less muddled. I know I have learned a lot through discussion here and have adjusted my position on some topics accordingly. Some people prefer to live in a thought bubble where nobody ever challenges their precious opinions. If that is you then you would be better to avoid religious discussion forums.
I haven't been here in years but remember you as one of the more vocal members.
In other words somebody who makes an effort to contribute to discussions.
Why wouldn't it be as acceptable for someone to believe in God as you would presumably argue it is for you not to?
It is perfectly acceptable. It is also acceptable that we use facts and reasoning to challenge each other's opinions. That is how we avoid falling for bullshit.

Cofty, you clearly like the guy. Your choice. I don’t. Let’s leave it there
No I didn't ever claim to like the guy.
I said that 'I have far more respect for him than I have for the cowardly politically-correct social workers who covered up these scandals for years'. I try to accurately criticise people I don't like.
You made two specific claims about TR. You have been challenged by numerous forum members to back them up with evidence of things TR has said. I'm not for 'leaving it'.
Facts matter. You don't know of a single racist or white-supremacist word TR has ever uttered do you?

The English Defense League was a racist organisation. “Tommy Robinson” was its founder.
The EDL attracted racists. TR left the organisation and began to work with Quilliam to combat extremism.
You have totally failed to defend your lies about TR.
Please tell me anything that TR has said to support your claim that he is a 'self-proclaimed racist and white supremacist' or withdraw your lies.
TR has huge amounts of written and verbal content online so it should be an easy task for you. In fact unless you already knew of such examples you should not have made these false claims in the first place.
Will you back up your claims or else withdraw them? No of course you won't because you have already decided TR is a 'lowlife' so his is fair game isn't he?

a racist that takes up a noble cause, is still a racist.
You have yet to provide a single word to support your lie that TR is a 'self-proclaimed racist and white supremacist'.

mine is that I don’t support racists
I don't support racists either. I despise racists.
I am not defending the EDL - they are mostly idiots.
TR is not a self-proclaimed racist or a white supremacist as you falsely claimed.
His campaign to draw attention to Muslim pedophile gangs was a public good. I have far more respect for him than I have for the cowardly politically-correct social workers who covered up these scandals for years.
