I love the SDMB; no where else could could a thread as silly and useless as this one provoke well thought out answers. I guess we don’t need a God Forum after all. I’d still like to see one, though. ---

If it were God’s desire that such a forum exist, He could will it into existence and move all the relevant threads there. There is no such forum. The Lord has spoken. Blessed be the Lord. AMEN. ---

> [@TubaDiva](#): > > But what if you don’t believe in it? Actually, I’ve never seen Canadian football, nor do I have any direct evidence that it exists. I only know of it because other people have mentioned it. So I would have to say I am agnostic about the existence of Canadian football. I must say I find the concept highly implausible. If we did have a forum for Canadian football, we would probably need another one for those who militantly deny its existence. ---

Ah, billions and trillions of small miracles happening all over the world… Every millisecond of victory against Universe’s dark Vacuum is a miracle that we ought to get busy on so our descendants can continue the journey to outlast our Universe and know where we are. 😉 ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > No, that’s the null hypotheis. It doesn’t have to be proven. It is the default assumption. Just because you can imagine something exists doesn’t mean that thing you imagine suddenly has a chance of existence equal to non-existence. There are an infinite number of things you can imagine, and it’s fatuous to say they all have to be disproven. Right now Pittsburgh is in the middle of a heat wave and if you ask me, the invention of AC is proof enough that there’s a god out there. 😉 ---

Never mind, I found the barn forum which is from 3 years ago. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/threads-about-god/592597.md?page=1)
