There is no evidence such things exist. Therefore no reason to believe in them. You can play "what if" all you want, but when it comes down to it, if you can't produce verifiable, physical evidence then your beliefs are as substantial as your average astrology reading.

Then what type of evidence would convince a non-theist?
Physical hands on evidence evidently crux....
The kind of evidence the ancient isrealites witnessed firsthand the power of God..and even with all the many miracles they saw even that failed to convert them...because of the hardness of thier hearts.
Only by the power of the Spirit will convince a non-thesist.

Funny that those "miracles" stopped when science caught up to them

No evidence would ever convince you nbl..
For you have hardened your heart to the things of God..therefore you will never accept God because of it.

*yawn* you keep saying that, but you have no evidence at all. You're all bluster, bluff and bravado with nothing to back it up.
