Are you sure the internets is for you? I answered your damn question dude. You don't want answers or you want to dictate them? The point is there is no answer to your question beyond believing what you want to. Find a belief you like, man up and stick with that.You've consistently ignored the point that you cannot know god. You can only believe you do. You keep implying the answers lay in a written work but you are relying on that for evidence. You are stuck in a circular logic loop. It's true because you believe it and you believe it because it's true. One must ASSUME you pet religion is true to give it any credibility to begin with.Great. Wonderful. So what? This conversation isn't about God's existence. It is about whether or not we can find any evidence to support the assertion that God cares.I believe there is a god, said so in the begining but don't know if he cares or not. You claimed he did, your version was the correct one and all you've offered so far are insults and obfuscation so far. All religions use anecdotal evidence, they can't all be right.How do you propose to prove anything about a supernatural being unless you use what has been created? You can't. All we have is what has happened since space and time was created which is a great deal of information and data.Scientists do not rely on anecdotal stories to prove their case. I've "co-operated" since you think you are running the show. But if you have to rely on someone else's experience to prove god cares about you then you have failed miserably. You can't see how flawed that is so something else is going on. Drugs, hypnosis, brainwashing, etc. Something clearly is going on with you and it sure isn't objectivity.
"...a proxy or proxy variable is a variable that is not in itself directly relevant, but that serves in place of an unobservable or immeasurable variable.[1] In order for a variable to be a good proxy, it must have a close correlation, not necessarily linear, with the variable of interest. This correlation might be either positive or negative.
Proxy variable must relate to unobserved variable..."
I did not insult you or obfuscate. In fact, I have been consistent and transparent in my intentions the whole time; which is to explain to you that we can answer that question by studying the things we do to see if we see similar things in what God has done. For instance:
1. When our children are young do we give them laws to keep them safe?
2. As the grow older do we allow them to make their own mistakes.
3. Do we allow them to suffer the consequences of their mistakes so that they can learn from them?
4. Do we offer feedback on their mistakes?
5. After offering feedback do we allow them to keep making the same mistakes until they have learned from them?
I am requesting that you start your own thread please.
