Questions to Skeptics
                               By John Orlando

1.  Do you have any empirical scientific data that disproves the existence of God? (Note: Stating that evolution is a fact doesn't prove that God does not exist.  The most you could say is that it (evolution) may have been a process that God used in creation.)

2. What empirical evidence do you have that demonstrates that Jesus didn't rise from the dead? (If you produce it, I promise I will turn from my beliefs).

3.  Do you contend that the writings of Plato, Aristotle, and even Shakespeare, are historically reliable?  If so, then why do you discount the historical reliability of the Bible, since the Bible can be demonstrated to be even more historically reliable than the writings I just mentioned?

4.  What empirical scientific evidence do you have that demonstrates that "particles to people" evolution is a fact?  (Note:  you cannot appeal to the fossil record, because all you can do is provide your interpretation of the fossil record.  The only way you can prove macro-evolution is a fact is if you have personally witnessed one species turn into another completely different kind of species).

5.  Was the Holocaust wrong?  Why?

6.  Is child pornography wrong?  If so, why?

7.  Should we honor our fathers and our mothers?  If so, why?

8.  Is stealing wrong?  If so, why?

9.  Is adultery wrong?  If so, why?

10. Is lying wrong?  Is so, why?

11.  Should we love our enemies?  If so, why?

12.  What is moral, and why should I believe what you say it is?

13.  Is the universe:

a.  An illusion
b.  Spontaneously Generated
c.  Self-existent
d.  Created

14.  Since you adhere to pure science, please apply the basic laws of science and rationality in answering number 13, as well as considering the Big Bang Theory (I am not saying I agree with Big Bang cosmology, however, if the Big Bang is true, that would demonstrate that the universe had a beginning, and therefore cannot be self-existent or eternal).

15.  If there is no God and no afterlife, why should we care about morals and justice?

16.  If there is no God and no afterlife, what then is the meaning of life?  If you say it is merely to "survive," then I ask why?  Also, can you prove your thesis?  Why should I believe what you say the meaning of life is?
