Evidence for God?

That's just nonsense Kelly and you know it.

Take the Sentinelese people for example, they are a virtually uncontactable tribe on the Andaman Islands, they have been there for millenia. We can't go onto the island, partly because they don't want us to and also because their immune systems couldn't cope with modern disease that we carry. They would die. Much like the vast swathes of indigenous tribes that were killed in South America.

How are they supposed to 'hear about God'?

Read the post, AGAIN!
Are they forcing others to NOT talk about the God of the Bible?
If someone puts themselves in a place where they cannot hear, they also
have acted in such a way that they cannot hear about God and that will
also carry on with those that come after, but that is different than
someone forcing others to NOT talk about the Biblical God. Our actions
result in the what ever outcome arises from them, so does our inactions.

A scenario for you.

Christian missionaries didn't arrive on Hawaii until 1820, it took the best part of 1800 years for the message of Christ to get to that part of the world. Do you accept that for 1800 years countless people lived and died on those islands without hearing the message of Christ through no fault of their own?

You know it is the fault of Adam and Eve and that old serpent the Devil.

People die for no fault of their own all the time. Why do you think that is
something that isn't going to happen, or shouldn't?

I don't see how your answer has any bearing on my question. I'm not sure whether you are being deliberately evasive or whether you just don't get it?!

The question is in relation to the people who have lived on the Hawaiin not hearing the the message of Christ.

I'm not asking for evidence, I just want to know if anything is acceptable

The relevance of this video? I saw the first few seconds in which 2 misunderstandings of evolution were presented as arguments. I don't fancy sitting through the whole thing on the offchance that they will come out with something sensible.

There are many people like you that do not want to hear the truth. For your information, adaptation and variation within species is not evilution.

Yes, people will not hear because they were not some place someone could
tell them, or they were held back from hearing by people who didn't want
them to hear, both of those will be due to choices someone made.

are you suggesting that isolated tribes that have no contact with the outside world have done so on purpose, so they can avoid the word of god?
