Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

Exactly. If the earth was billions of years old, humans and animals would've drank it all up. We would have no oceans. Yet the oceans take up 75% of the globe!
I think you could also make a similar argument with oxygen. If humans existed for billions of years like the Darwinists, claim, we would've ran out of air too!
And yet if you try bringing this up to a biology professor, he just laughs at your face. Believe me, it's happened more than once.

I'd just like to add that some half-educated dimwit is likely to show up here and claim that all the water we drink is eventually given off as sweat and urine. Well, just think about it – that would mean that all our streams, rivers, lakes and oceans would consist of sweat and urine. Every time it rains and snows there would be sweat and urine falling from the sky. The entire earth would be a giant cesspool of sweat and urine – we would be making our coffee from fresh urine from our faucets and bathing in sweat and urine. Well, logically you have to go with the Bible (KJV1611) on this one.
I don't mean to be rude, but piss off Atheists.

What happens is when water is spilled on the ground (in this case it's piss i suppose), heat causes it to evaporate. When water evaporates, it rises, leaving behind everything that is not pure water. When it's in the sky, it forms clouds, and the wind pushes it. Since oceans covers such a vast portion of the surface of the earth, most of these clouds discharge as rain over them, simply putting in pure water. This means there is always the same amount of water on the earth.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I've never even once seen water going back up into the sky.

Well where do you think it goes when it was once on the ground, and now it's not? When water evaporates, it dissipates into the air, into water particles. Kind of like mist, but very fine. And if put against a direct light, you can see the water evaporation.

But turning water into wine is perfectly plausible, is it? Oh wait, that was a miracle. Silly me.

Just as I predicted, some dimwit did show up espousing some hair brained "theory" – again at odds with the Bible (KJV1611).
So let's assume your "theory" is correct – water "evaporates" and leaves behind the sweat and urine. According to you this "evaporated" water now rains down as "pure" water without the sweat and urine. The obvious question now is what happened to all the sweat and urine? Well it didn't just "disappear" did it – you "scientists" call this "conservation of mass". That "pure" water now falls down and mixes with the left behind sweat and urine and we are just back to where we started.
You atheists think you're real cleaver. Wake up son, you'll never make the rapture.

First off, very rude. Secondly, do they not teach the water cycle in catholic schools? It's a really simple concept, much simpler than believing that god just magnificently replenishes the water supply.

The power that binds all water molecules together and all of the water in all of the plants and animals that works to keep them alive is all the evidence that I need of an intelligent creator.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Amen!
It's almost like having the Bible and all the wonderful examples of how magnificent God is and how it all fits together in one glorious chronicle of wonder and delight is a giant bonus.
Put it all together and it's impossible to ignore.

Atheists claim this too often. They usually say only the water part of it gets evaporated, but this is even worse- The water had been impure. That would mean that so many people (even sinners) would have urinated out the water, and we are drinking the impure substance. God would not have wanted this.

So, have you ever been boiling water and noticed that water droplets start hanging from your range top or your microwave (whatever is above your stove)? Have you ever been in the shower and got out and your window is all fogged up and when you wipe it off, it makes your towel wet? I'm sure those are both just miracles of God's existence, right?

You can see it happening if you just take your head out of science books and experience the world God gave you with open eyes.
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Numbers 21:16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.

Where should I start? You want him to stop believing in things he can't see, but you believe in God? Interesting contradiction. I agree with you though, it's a simple idea that even a child can understand. So, answer me this simple question. Why would they put lids on water bottles if things didn't evaporate? Is God incapable of removing water from a water bottle as long as it's got a lid on it? So, if you leave a bottle of water out in the sun for a few days, where does all the water go? Does God summon a furry creature to come and drink the bottle of water every time water is left laying around?

But it's not.
Rain is God's gift or punishment to man. Nothing to do with clouds or water in the air.

So, just for argument's sake, let's just say that you're right. What do you think happens to all the feces and urine from whales, fish, birds, lobsters, crabs, mussels, and all the other life that God created? What happens to all the carcasses of dead animals that wind up in the ocean and rivers? If water isn't constantly recycled by means of evaporation and rain, why doesn't the earth just continually fill up with water until there is no more land?

Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."
I would think that you'd take the Bible personally and follow it accordingly, being the good Christian that you claim to be.
What is interesting is that you just choose to believe without any kind of evidence, but you mock someone who actually dares to ask a question about anything. As trivial as it may seem, boiling water is about as simple of a experiment that any person can do to see that water is easily recycled.
I'm not here to tell you that God does or doesn't exist, but denying the most basic principles of science just because you have a belief in a deity is preposterous. When water is hot, it goes up. When water is cold, it goes down. You're arguing that water doesn't go up, but that's just because it's not in the bible and so therefore it must be a work of God. See the difference? The first one makes sense, the second one doesn't.

I think it's interesting that you're calling for "evidence" but you have absolutely no evidence that God created anything other than a book, written by humans over two thousand years ago. Just for fun, I'll take a stab at this.
By examining human urine, you would find that the majority of it is water. In fact, about 95% of it is nothing but water. You'll find very small concentrations of sodium, chloride, potassium, and creatinine. Even if you took that small 5% of urine that is not water, and distributed it out across the ground, you could spend the majority of your life urinating in the same spot and never see a collection of these particles. The honest truth is that these particles are isolated, very small particles that would blow away with the lowest amount of wind. So in your feeble attempts to scare the Jesus into us, you failed terribly.
I'll step up the scientific method a notch and set you up an experiment. Go home, pee in a kettle, and then put it on the stove. Let it boil (evaporate) all the water, and then look and see what is left. I'll bet you my entire bank account that you'll find powdered minerals (the ones listed above.)
On an interesting side note, before they could diagnose people with diseases using modern medicine, urine used to be a resource to diagnose people with ailments. One ailment in particular, diabetes mellitus, was diagnosed by tasting the urine. If the urine was sweet, their body was not processing sugar the way it should, and thus it was being urinated out. So, if you have diabetes, or know someone who does, you should thank a scientist that you don't have to taste grandma's urine anymore!

Water does dry up. Go look at areas that are suffering from terrible droughts right now. Even Texas is suffering from a drought. Water dries up, forms into clouds, and then when the water can no longer be suspended in the air as small particles, it falls. Fortunately, most of this occurs over the oceans and we never have to deal with it. Unfortunately, it does occur over land, and we call that rain...or in more violent situations, they can be hurricanes. Have you never been near fog or high enough in the mountains that you've been among the clouds? Nothing but water. No mystery.

The earth naturally recycles water. In fact, history does show us that people drank water that was often defecated in. Ever hear of Cholera? There's a reason why you enjoy the luxuries of having municipal groups that control the water systems.

It rains because those pesky invisible water particles that you don't believe in group together and become to heavy to be suspended in the air.

Nice post!!! My personal favorite evidence against atheism is irreducible complexity / watchmaker analogy / watchmaker argument.
Evolution has no basis in reality, spirituality, science, or logic. Fact: life is irreducibly complex. Fact: A human being cannot evolve from mud anymore than a computer, car, or watch can! The Theory of Evolution replaces God with a monkey!!! It's a cruel joke told by the Devil through the mouths of lost souls.
What gets me, is that people have known this for thousands of years!!!! Atheism as we know it today virtually didn't even exist outside these last 150 years!!! Something is going on... something big... Satan has been working hard to convince people that they are the actual children of monkeys, fish, bacteria, etc. that randomly evolved over millions of years! One of your super ancient grandparents was a fish! Seriously?
Satan is at the head of this new godless EVILutionist religion movement. There is absolutely no other reasonable EXPLANATION for it. Only Satan himself could get people to believe in something soooo incredibly ridiculous!!!! Satan's followers have put their FAITH in randomness and monkeys, instead of God.

Stop referring to us as Satan's followers! We are ATHEISTS, which means we have no belief in either God OR Satan, or any other supernatural beings for that matter.
And the only reason that atheism has exploded over the last few years is because of the escalation of widespread education, and the loosening of the Church's influence over government. If education is in fact the work of Satan, then I know where I'd rather spend eternity.
If I can see the flaws in your argument when I'm only a young boy, then I recommend that you think a bit more about what you write before you post it.

Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about.
Evolution takes millions of years to occur, especially when you're talking about macroevolution. Religious people have a tendency to think that evolution means that one day a monkey gave birth to a human and that's how we got our ancestry. It's far, far from the truth. Through genetic mapping, we can see that we share a common ancestry to primates that existed thousands (possibly millions) of years ago. That doesn't mean that today's monkeys gave birth to us. We don't put "faith" in any monkeys, but I do agree with your statement that we believe in randomness.
Mutations are the primary cause for the evolution of new species over the span of thousands and millions of years. It's easily seen in our daily lives. Bacteria which are harmful to us are mutating all the time, leading to resistant strains of influenza and MRSA. It's almost once a year that a new resistant strain of bacteria is formed. This is also exemplified by Darwin's famous studies on the Galapagos Islands, as well as things such as the anatomy of whales, squirrels in the Grand Canyon. Let's not forget the basis of genetics with Gregor Mendel and predicting physical attributes through genetic manipulation. There are thousands of reasons why an organism would be able to adapt, evolve, and continue surviving.
The reason that evolution is so hard to grasp for most people is because humans have only been consciously aware of the natural world for a very short amount of time. Even if we use the Christian view of the human race, 8000 years is a very, very small amount of time compared to the 4,500,000,000 years that science estimates the planet has existed. That's 562,000 times longer than Christians believe the world has existed. In that amount of time, the Earth has obviously undergone very serious and radical changes. Volcanoes, meteors, earthquakes, floods, droughts, oxygen deprivation, extended periods of light, extended periods of dark, and all other manners of natural impacts are all precursors for adaptation and species recovery. In fact, fossil records indicate that following a major extinction of species due to some of these natural disasters, the earth is replenished with thousands of new species that didn't exist before said disasters.
Realistically, the only advancement that humans have over other animals is the development of a frontal lobe of the brain. Even then, one could ask, how advanced are we really? We still retain primal instincts, like all other mammals, we still fight over resources (water, food, land, home territory), maintain our reproductive urges, hunt and kill and forage for survival, and maintain our desire to belong to a pack or group. In some aspects, we're actually less evolved than major predatory animals.
I feel compelled to explain this position because it's difficult to think outside of the box of religious teachings. I don't disregard religion as being a powerful motivator for great things, but I also don't regard it as being scientifically probable. Atheism is truly a lack of belief. Nothing more, nothing less. It has nothing to do with the teachings of Satan or God. As Atheists, we choose to require proof of extraordinary things instead of existing in this life as nothing more than a blind fool. My wish for the future is that whether we are religious people or non-religious people, that we can live together on this planet peacefully and without spite or hatred for one another. The teachings of Jesus Christ can be applied regardless of whether or not you believe the story. Love thy neighbor.

Obviously you don't understand where you are. We believe the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God and is sharper than a two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12) and that faith comes from hearing the Word of Christ (Romans 10:17).

Of course that's how it is. If evolution is true, why aren't humans having other species?
If humans were truly separated for thousands of years, why can any European mate with any indigenous North American or aboriginal people from the Islands of Australia or New Zealand?

It surely seems as if you do. You ask us to accept that we are no better than a monkey or even "less developed than other predators," when the Word tells us that we are so much more.
Gen 1 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
I sure wouldn't want to be in your shoes. Feeling like I was no better than some dumb animal.

People keep saying that, people who claim to believe in the origin of species by natural selection (evolutionists). Natural selection differs from artificial selection in that selection of mates is decided by the animals themselves rather than by someone else deliberately trying to breed beef cattle (or dairy cattle) or sheep or something.
Neither of these are random selection. Different characteristics are selected for in breeding partners and offspring have the chosen attributes. In the case of apes - the Darwinist announces - we are the offspring of ancestors who chose their mates wisely, imparting traits which have withstood the ravages of "ice-ages" torrid "interglacial periods" even the occasional "snowball earth" over "millions" and "millions" and "millions" and "millions" and "millions" and "millions" of years. The fact [they gloat] that a prehistoric microbe found X a desirable trait even though it didn't have any apparent purpose (other than seeming "sexy") means that when "the time comes" that characteristic will guarantee the survival of all "us apes" - FAITH INDEED.
But what a futile and degenerate hope their delusion affords. They don't tell you that in their Godless "natural selection" everything without trait X dies in agony. Ripped limb from limb in all liklihood by the ones who did survive. Their faith that the 1% who survived had given us strength to prevail in reality is the certainty that 99% of them will not.
If that's faith in monkeys, count me out!
Jesus said:
JOHN 6:47-50 Uerely, verely I say vnto you, Hee that beleeueth on me, hath euerlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eate Manna in the wildernesse, and are dead. This is the bread which commeth downe from heauen, that a man may eate thereof, and not die.
