Jason Lisle: Creationism exists, but atheism doesn't

[robvalue]

In what way am I against truth? The whole point of being a sceptic is I'm only interested in finding the truth by the best methods possible. I didn't say I don't care about the truth, I was saying that either outcome in this case has the same effect on me, nothing. Just like whether or not someone next door is eating an orange. It makes no difference to me either way. But if the truth value of the orange eating was causing people to get disowned by their families, I'd be interested in why that is and I'd try to investigate it. I'd use a method as likely as possible to get the most accurate results.

If there was a way to investigate the truth of theistic claims, I'd be very interested in it. Usually there isn't, as they are unfalsifiable. I don't need to say the claims are wrong. Just that there's no good reason to think they are right.

I'm not trying to suppress anything. People have had ample opportunity to try and back up their theistic claims and it's been 2000 years of fail. I just shrug and carry on eating my breakfast. It seems that if God is on anyone's side of the debate it is ours, as he stubbornly refuses to give you guys anything more to work with. I think it's rather mean of him actually.

You seem to be implying I know the truth but am supressing it or something. I certainly don't know the truth, all I have is the available evidence. Which is nothing credible. I don't have to have all the answers, or any answers, to identify bogus arguments. As always, if God wants to talk to me, he's quite welcome. If he refuses, then it's his problem.
