Quote:Sounds like an interesting job. Where are from, the Finland?England old chap! Jolly old England. I work in the forest as a lumberjack and general labourer. Not a bad job.
Quite nice spending the day working in the forest.
Quote:Well, I can see it takes a faithful leap (more of a hop IMHO) in believing that the girl was telling the truth and wasn't exaggerating anything. All this debate is coming down to is "I believe her!" and "No, I don't..."It's not a matter of faith. It's all down to how you go about searching for answers. So far you have only assumed that a god did it. What I'm saying is that, you're jumping to huge assumptions long before you've even tried to solve the problem through rational means. Aim for the most likely, then work your way up from there. That's how you get to the truth.
State the obvious, then work your way up.
If you can't find any other rational and likely conclusion other that the likely conclusion that she was responsible, then all that's left is: accepting that as a distinct possibility. Never assume with absolute certainty, but keep to the simplest explanation and most likely and go where ever the evidence points. Following simple and basic principles is what helps us separate fantasy from reality. To help us see what is real and what is not.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
