Default Two supposed facts about God that Richbee cannot prove

The Bible says that God is good, but there is not sufficient evidence that such is the case. 2 Corinthians 11:14 says "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." If that is true, then it is only natural that if God is evil, he has transformed himself into an angel of light too, in which case he could easily duplicate anything that is attributed to the God of the Bible, and in which case it would be quite natural for him to do so.

Christians believe that God still exists, but even if he used to exist, there is not sufficient evidence that he exists today. If intelligent design is a given, maybe the designer is dead and the universe is self-perpetuating.

Johnny,
Lets think for a moment outside the box...
We know that we both see this character God as a mythical creation of the human mind, so let's not even argue about what an imaginary character can do or not do.
But let me ask you, what is an "intelligent process"?
