How do you know he created you?

Only God can create life. 

Any supporting evidence for this?

I generally do not waste my time on silly questions. So asking me for evidence for things like the sun being hot, only women giving birth, 2+3=5, and God being the only creator of life, will get dismissed without ceremony.

Is there any non-biblical record of God appearing in any location?

Plenty.

For example?

Look it up yourself. Why should I provide you non-biblical records of God appearing anywhere?

What is your qualification for the "Judeo-Christian" God?

Post #329 of this thread:

"As there is only one God, He needs no qualification."

Pay attention and we won't need to waste time like this again.

How is the bible credible?

It has a long line of custodial accuracy, it has proven correct geographically, historically, and culturally. There are hundreds of ancient copies of it found in various places that self-verify, and it's effect on human history is unmatched.

Can you please elaborate on this?

No. I was clear enough.

Not to mention the cloud of billions of believers who testify to its credibility.

This is an ad-populum fallacy [1]. 

No, it isn't. The ad-populum fallacy is an argument that states a belief is TRUE because many believe it is.

That was not what you asked. You asked, "How was the Bible CREDIBLE?" Billions of people testifying over hundreds of years  that the bible is credible does lend it credibility.

See how I answered all of your questions without running or dodging?

I got the point already. No need to repeat this.

My experience says it needed repeating.

Aren't you an atheist?

Good job

Thanks.

Remember that when you get the temptation to run and dodge.

How does God affect you?

He created me. An easier question would be, "How does God NOT affect me.

Has God ever chosen to specifically appear in any physical location before (outside of the bible)?

To my knowledge, God has never chosen to specifically appear inside of a bible.

(That was a really weird question)

If the Judeo-Christian god...

Please, I said nothing about any Judeo-Christian god. As there is only one God, He needs no qualification.

...was known all around the world for thousands of years, then how come the vast majority of the world worshipped other deities?

Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Rom 1:22 - Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Rom 1:23 - And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.

Rom 1:24 - Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Rom 1:25 - Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Has He ever done this outside of the bible?

Yes. Rom 1:18 - For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Rom 1:19 - Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

Rom 1:20 - For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

God exists outside of the observable universe.

God exists everywhere, inside and "outside" the observable universe.

Unless you are able to observe what is beyond the observable universe, you will not be able to observe god.

God also exists inside the observable universe too. And is able to affect me, though I cannot observe Him.

If so, then where? 

God is like an electron in an electron cloud. He does not have a specific physical locus unless He chooses to physically manifest in one.

If not, then he is unobservable. 

You seem to be using "observable" as "real". That is an incorrect usage of the word. Many real things are not observable, and for a long time, many things observable now were not observable.

Your actual argument is that God does not exist and is therefore unobservable. So I will not allow you to hide behind a misuse of the term, "observable".

Even the bible agrees that God is not observable, but it is a logical leap to go from that to God not existing.

Has God made Himself known to us in any way outside of the bible?

That should be obvious. God was known for thousands of years all over the world before there was a bible. The bible itself is only an indication that God made Himself known.

Which supports my point that though we cannot observe God, He can observe us and affect the world in which we live

Very true. You bring up some good points. We have to eat. We should treat animals in a humane way, not a cruel way, yet we as humans have dominion over animals. Not only this but do you think we could feed the whole of humanity solely on vegetation? My justification for eating meat is that God has given us permission to eat animals instead of just vegetation? This gets into a wholly different topic, God's existence. So I have reasons for why I believe it is okay to eat meat. 

As for immoral, do you think animals think in terms of morality or is that completely a human function?

PS. Are you a vegetarian?

How do you know?

So. What's your point?

However, it's an infinite loop

Enjoy the rest of your evening and good luck in your future discussions

Are you saying the slaughter is not quick?

I'm not really sure how you're getting the "outside of it" part.

The most common definition I've found is the "omnipotent", "omniscient", "omnibenevolent", "creator" (OOOC or 3OC).

It is, however, perfectly safe to say that Russel's Teapot is INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM PURE IMAGINATION

AND HAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO BEARING ON OUR DAILY LIVES AND OR OUR CONCEPTS OF HUMAN MORALITY.

Demonstrate the logical contradiction or absurdity. Nothing else.

Does the fact that there is a thought (specific pattern of neurons firing) about something mean that the thing that is being thought about automatically exists? No.

Why not?

Likewise, the thought (pattern of neurons firing) of a particular god/set of gods doesn't mean that the god/gods exist(s).

Operating on your logic, your response doesn't exist. So '' '' ''' '' '' ....

I can believe that there is a 100% steel teapot that is also 100% made of ceramic

Therefore I do believe that there is a 100% steel teapot that is also 100% made of ceramic

Where's the logical contradiction?

Do you know how a brain works?

No.

This makes every voice the voice of god and every book the word of god.

This doesn’t mean that there is 100% no god. 

The claim that "god exists" is an appeal to ignorance if you refuse to define which specific version of gods you are referring to.

The gods that most people care about proving are logically incoherent.

People only care about the hypothetical existence of gods (IFF) it empowers them in some way.

Only logically incoherent gods bestow wisdom to special specific chosen prophets and make them write dusty old books of rules.

The gods that are possible are necessarily (EITHER) incomprehensible (OR) indistinguishable from pure imagination.

You assume because you don't know, nobody knows. Speak only for yourself.

If you consider that the Christian views God as a living, conscious, person, instead of thinking of Him as a "force" or "law" of nature, you would understand the Christian position much better.

So on our own, we cannot perceive God, but that in no way means God cannot make Himself known to us.

But more and more you will find Christians reluctant to get dragged into a "Does God Exist?" debate on every thread, because we sometimes we want to debate other things.

It's a conditional statement.

If you believe that an infinite god exists, then everything that exists must be part of this infinite god.

I am able; engaging you on the subject is a different matter. I choose to not respond to your supplication.

You can use the reductio ad absurdum as a rhetorical device in expressing your feelings (i.e. it's horrible) or a logical one, for which you'd have to demonstrate a logical contradiction in the conclusion. Since your feelings are irrelevant, you'd have to employ the latter to make your point. Thus far, you have not done so.

Everything one perceives must exist; this is irrefutable. One cannot interact with the non-existent in any shape or form; the non-existent does not provide any information toward or description of its being because it does not exist. If "X" didn't exist, then it would be impossible for one to know "X" didn't exist, because it does not exist. Hence, everything one perceives must exist because it's impossible to perceive that which doesn't exist.
