The existence of "higher beings" is not even in the realm of scientific inquiry until the term is assigned a precise meaning. You might as well ask if there is scientific proof pertaining to the existence of googledygoggedies or boogles or ninnynonnies or fragglecytes.

Here in Australia, we now have fibre-optic all the way to the house (for some of us). I wonder if God suffers lag or time-outs, or even 404's.... 8O

You are the higher power. All of you. You may be smoking it too.

You are gods.
True ego driven petty tyrants.

Go prove someone else wrong, I know what you are.

I'm only a minor deity - god of my own life, and not very omnipotent.
The gods of politics, economics and taxes are more powerful.

"Very omnipotent"? Surely "not very powerful" or "not omnipotent"?

See? I can't even conjugate properly.

In turn, this means that the Bible can not be taken as the literal "Word of God", but only as a collection fumbling attempts by a series of humans to explain their existence with allegory, analogy, and metaphor.
What I meant to say was clear and that is Word of God is literally from God (as in, written by God) rather than inspired (as in, what you are referring to), I never said that the words aren't allegorical.

Atheism isn't the lack of a belief in a creator, it's the lack of belief in a god. If there is a god then it's not an atheist.

God wrote something? Literally?[/quote] Obviously through revelations from his "apostles", but it's his words and they were commanded to write every single word that he said, not just inspired.
