What or who, do I need to defence against?

That’s what I thought.
Potential = That which may become reality.
That too.....Sorry, but I was always thought "Potential" That which may become Kinetic.![]()
In science, however, the adjective has a special meaning: Potential energy is the kind of stored energy that a boulder sitting at the top of a cliff has (the opposite of kinetic energy, which is what it has as it rolls down that cliff). https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/potential
po·ten·tial
adjective; having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future.
"a two-pronged campaign to woo potential customers" .
Synonyms; possibilities, potentiality, prospect; More
Noun;
latent qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead to future success or usefulness.
Physics;
- "a young broadcaster with great potential"
the quantity determining the energy of mass in a gravitational field or of charge in an electric field.

"Abiogenesis is the boundary between chemistry and biology."Has science answered, we know how life began, or to they beleive they think they have the answer?
So you can't answer your own question when it is rephrased to ask about theism - yet you demand others answer it and mock them when they say it is loaded.You think God is magic? . . .There is no “understanding there is no God”As a theist, what would you regard as evidence enough, to make a theist, for whom God is magic, understand there is no God, while your in your theist state?
Life began as single cells able to divide and duplicate (mitosis). This action is achieved by "quorum sensing" of chemical signals from smaller bio-chemicals, which can signal each other when "time is right" and the living process of cell division (duplication) takes place. This is not"Abiogenesis is the boundary between chemistry and biology."
Mycoplasma genitalium
Smallest organisms - Wikipedia. Mycoplasma genitalium, a parasitic bacterium which lives in the primate bladder, waste disposal organs, genital, and respiratory tracts, is thought to be the smallest known organism capable of independent growth and reproduction.
https://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(05)00684-6What are they? Mollicutes — Spiroplasma, Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma — are the smallest and simplest known free-living and self-replicating forms of life.

You are a perfect example of a religious hypocrite. Thank you for regularly providing such examples.
That too.....
Although strictly speaking--
Like physical patterns, potential exists everywhere you look, but it may not be readily detectable. However all Reality is preceded by potential (Bohm's Implicate)
Potential existed before the BB , else the BB could not have happened!
Consider that as a viable scientific alternative to a world ruled by God(s)?

No, you didn't. But I will give you a second chance.I did answer it, which is what Goldtop, failed to do
Nope. If there was repeatable, verifiable evidence I would believe it. For example - a priest who prays for God to topple a mountain, and the mountain is toppled supernaturally, while a priest from an "untrue" religion fails at the same task. If he could do that - and repeat it a few times - that would be very strong evidence.Can you answer it, or are you going to run as well?
It's hilarious that you say that while refusing to answer the question. You are a perfect hypocrite.You’re a perfect example of an angry atheist, and we all know angry people are irrational, meaning they say things that are born out of anger, not intelligence. Do you think you could curtail anger for a minute and answer the question?
No Jan, I am on topic.Hey! Can you start your own thread with this topic. Thanks
Jan.

Now, can you do the same? Let's say every priest, cardinal, believer etc of your religion prays and prays to topple that mountain and it never happens. Would your belief in God change at all? Or is it not a fact based thing with you?
Do you feel qualified to tell me I am not a "good" atheist?
p.s. can you explain what it means to be a "former atheist"? Usually its the other way around.
I did answer it, which is what Goldtop, failed to do, despite the fact that it is for Goldtop to answer it, not me.
Can you answer it, or are you going to run as well?
As an atheist, what would you regard as evidence enough, to make an atheist, for whom there is no s no God, understand there is a God, while your in their atheist state?
If there was evidence it could not have happened naturally. Say, the bottom third of the mountain just disappeared.How would you know that event occurred supernaturally?
OK. So there is no level of fact that can convince you of something. Thank you for admitting that.No it wouldn’t.
Scientific method. Come up with a hypothesis, run an experiment, observe the results. If it looks good, repeat the experiment. When you are done, analyze the results.Can you explain why you would regard the good priest praying to God for, and the mountain toppling, a “fact” that there is a God.
