Hi atheists, how do you define existence?

On the issue God exists or not, before anything else all humans must concur on what is existence.

I am theistic and I define existence as reality.

What about you atheists, how do you define existtence?

Hi PrincessOfHell, you say babies and roses are not evidences of God, but you are not thinking all the way to ultimate realities.

Babies and roses are composed of partis, so ultimately there is God Who created the parts and put them together into babies and roses.

That is why I define God as the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient.

@yrger I'm spiritual and while that gives me strenght and could be called a belief I do not claim absolute truth. The fact is we don't know whether higher power(s) exist or not.

Roses and babies are no evidence for a higher power. Roses are evidence for the existence of flowers and you could analyze how they produce scent but there is no way you can deduce a God through them.
This is just an assumption you make based on an existing belief of yours.

Wrong again, babies and roses are a byproduct of a self replicating ecosystem system. Abiogenesis and evolution are the reasons for life and its diversity. Not only are you making up bullshit excuses, you’re taking people’s responses out of context. Hypocrisy and ignorance are not going to convince people your god is real.
