I think it's cute that regurgitating claims is considered evidence.

Does that mean if I can't prove you to be a liar or hallucinating I must believe that you were?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I think it hinges on, or relates to, the "teach the controversy" canard. Basically I set out my claims, you set out yours, then whoever gains the popular vote wins.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
I have a garage that's empty. That proves the existence of my Ferrari.

Randy: You have been throwing the word "fact" about quite a bit regarding things we can supposedly learn from the bible. Surely this means that such evidence would be acceptable to put you down for murder, if it is a fact?
Even for things you wouldn't say are facts, you're admitting us atheists have no reason to believe the supernatural stuff happened beyond reasonable doubt? And considering we're talking about supernatural stuff, what is reasonable doubt is much bigger in scope. At least it should be, for anyone interested in the truth. I agree, historical study often does not put things beyond reasonable doubt. But that's not the message I've been getting from you, and joining a religion seems to be putting a lot more than historical probability into action. |
