standard of evidence

RE: standard of evidence
(October 2, 2013 at 4:16 pm)Simon Moon Wrote: There are 2 truth claims concerning the existence of a god.

1. A god exists
2. A god does not exist

Both truth claims have to be examined separately. Disbelieving the first claim, does not mean that an atheist believes the second by default.

I never said it did. however, it should be noted that even if you don't necessarily believe there is no God if you believe the proposition of God is less rational than the proposition of no God, then you must have evidence to support this. even if there were no evidence for both sides, that only rationalizes neutral agnosticism.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
