    They could be wrong. The number of people who believe something has no influence on reality. In the history on humankind more people have believed in other gods besides the abrahamic one, so be careful when using this fallacious appeal to the people, because it doesn't actually support your premise.

    Do your arguments consist entirely of logical fallacies? You have only posted twice in this thread and already we have has an argumentum ad populum and an Appeal to consequences.

    It's God, he or she can do anything he or she wants.

    as man evolved so has their religion. After the pagan years their could have been an enlightenment into monotheism.

    To say paganism evolved in to monotheism suggests that monotheism is better. In what way is it better? I think all you are trying to do is invent a rationalisation as to why religion changes and nobody, even people from the same faith, can agree with each other.

    Of course, to suggest that religion is something that evolves (changes) detracts from it's validity as a revealed truth. How can a revealed truth, an inherent word of god, "evolve"? Either it's inherent or it isn't. The fact that it changes means it adapts to social acceptabilities, which strongly suggests it was invented by people and people have to alter it to fit in with what is acceptable in society at any given time.

    The word of God didn't evolve, man evolved. Man found answers and comfort from one God.

    Your argument is that religion evolved from paganism to monotheism, How can an inherent word "evolve" and change? You seem to just be making it up as you go along inventing contrived rationalisations to get out of acknowledging the obvious; That religion is made up.

    I frankly have no way of knowing if a god exists, i reject the assertion that one does on the grounds that there is no evidence. But i frankly pity anyone who is unable to see the obvious fact that religion is made up shit.

    That's not my argument, Man realized that their is one God. Religion did not evolve that was poorly worded by me.

    This "made up shit" has convince alot of people around the world.

    You can say that religion evolve from interpretation of it. No more witch trials, inquisitions, etc.

    Oh, I see.
    I wonder how much God is charging for his psychotherapeutic sessions?

    And how does it works?
    Do I have to make appointment or there is first come first served system?

    I really want to talk to God and ask him so many questions.
    For example where he got his Diploma? I hope it wasn't one of these online courses.
    or
    If his parents had teach him good manners? He's sure made lots of people suffer.
    or
    What are the next Lottery winning numbers? I'm sure can use few extra bucks.

    Can you talk to God and ask him if he can see me before next 50M Lottery draw?
    We'll have one in Canada this Friday.

    The Creator is the composition of the universe that is made available for creatures that progress to higher levels from their present positions.

    Atheist or believers alike will perish astraying the chosen path.....good riddance.

    Man hasn't "realized that their is one God" [sic], there are still many many gods.

    I'm saying they aren't necessarily right. It's a logical fallacy to claim the amount of people who believe something has any influence on it's validity, i have already explained this to you.

    Before plato and aristotle everyone 'knew' the earth was flat, before copernicus everyone 'knew' the earth was the center of the universe...I'm just trying to say that maybe.. just maybe.. the masses could be wrong
