Which makes what bit of difference to the claim that you do not need to understand something to deny it?
Quote:I've tried to explain to him the reason against every objection he has raised so far. If he wants me to explain to him what God is then I would gladly oblige. Point is... he must understand what he denies, or how could he deny it? It's his positive claim and not mine to defend.
Firstly, without explaining God to him you have no way of knowing that he does not understand it.
Secondly, you can deny something without understanding it, you cannot be justified in denying it however.
What specifically was the positive claim that he made?
