Where Reason and Spirit are Not Exclusive
As always I have to answer this from my perspective, not all deists. Deists are as diverse as any group bound by a common idea can be. Remember there is no such thing as “Deist Catechism”, to teach you what you are supposed to believe. There is no “Deist Creed” you say to prove your …
I am having a debate right now about this with an atheist. He assertion is God does not exist because it can’t be scientifically proven. While he keeps trying to drag it to is evolution real, that is not he debate and I refuse to let it go there. My assertion is only that the …
