indeed, how else? they just appear out of nowhere breaking all possible laws of physics, biology and reason.

:lol:

Not quite. But they are signs.

no, a world devoid of those things would be a sign, because it would be impossible, illogical and therefore a miracle.

I would say the God has a sense of Karma... sort of a what goes around comes around system (Matthew 7:1-2 provides a good example...) Also, at the end of the Noah's Ark story, God said that He would never again destroy humanity. However, He said nothing about humanity destroying itself, so that's still quite possible...

I'm looking more for a message of the talking donkey or burning bush type. Even an angelic being telling me, "Fear not! For I bring you news ..." would be impressive enough.

Besides, an omniscient being would know how to access my Twitter page...

... even if Caribou Barbie doesn't! :wink:

Well, I dunno know, man... If that thread had been about me and my name was on the side of the bus, I would be feeling pretty freaked out right about now. Where is Magnus? She should be here to help rub this one in. :lol:

It was obviously "photoshopped" onto the side of the bus's image - not that I'm complaining! It's nice to know that I have another fan! :lol:

Should I just laugh or attempt to reason with you?

Oh my! That was REALLY scary. And if you don't mind me saying, if that don't work, your breath will certainly get the job done, 'cause you definitely need some Tic Tacs or something, 'cause your breath STINKS!

It seems that way to me too - the bus and passengers seem slightly blurry as though the bus is moving along, but the writing on the side of it is crystal clear. Of course there could be other explanations, but I can't think of any at the moment and this seems the simplest.

God: "I refuse to prove that I exist, for proof denies faith and without faith I am nothing"

Fnord "But the bus ad is a dead give way, it proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."

God "Oh dear, I hadn't thought of that"

Actually, no. Take a look here: http://www.atheistbus.org.uk/bus-photos/

The sixth photo is fake, they took TallyMan's photo, somehow made it higher quality then changed the text to match that of the other buses. Bastards.
