Which god?

Also known as an argument from incredulity, a logical fallacy.

The Generic God that all evolutionary cultures have been searching for.

Unproven assertion.

Then it's super weird that nobody has ever been able to demonstrate it's existence.

I was referring to you phrasing: " purposive potential within the forward march "
Evolution has no purposive anything.
Man, at this moment, may have more impact on the natural world than other species. However, roaches have existed for 280,000,000 million years. Man? 100,000, maybe.
It looks like your god favors roaches over humans.

What would proof of the Absolute look like to a finite mind?

The "purposive potential" can be seen in the innate instincts for survival, adaptation and perfection hunger.

I didn't say anything absolute about anything.
Perhaps you could answer the question I asked.

You are a finite being in time, but you demand proof of an infinite being that transcends time. I'm asking what would proof like like to you?

I haven't asked for proof.
"Then it's super weird that nobody has ever been able to demonstrate it's existence."
Making the claims that there is an infinite being that transcends time requires demonstration, rather than just assertion.

Interesting series of events - apparently, someone reported this thread for bullying or something. I received a warning, yet no changes were made and the thread remains. Not only is it still here, but it became a featured thread.
So report away, thin-skinned folk!

How so? Seriously -- what makes this obvious?
If it's obvious, why is is controversial? Why can the believers proffer no evidence for this obvious phenomenon?

The answer to this question is always an argument from incredulity. The question that seems to elude these people is 'How do you know YOUR god created it and not some other god?'

and that brings to mind a quote....
none so blind as those who will not see
