I also want to point out that you're presenting an appeal to majority/authority. You're saying 2 things in this statement here:
- Many people accept it as fact (appeal to majority)
- Those people are professional NT scholars of all faith positions (appeal to authority)
You're saying that because many people accept it as true, and that they have credentials, that your statements must be true. That's not how discussions work.
If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!

Yes it is and god isn't part of it. God is a denizen of the minds of the gullible.

According to the majority of religious people, no matter what evidence you provide for them, they will never change their mind, so no it doesn't depend on the evidence. They explicitly say that.
Gee. Thanks for taking me off the hook when I was never on the hook to begin with. I was never making a positive assertion. You're just presenting a straw man, accusing me of saying something I never said in order to escape the burden of proof you placed on yourself.
And I did take into consideration your five "facts," just as any skeptic would, but they didn't add up. Sorry.

Remember when I said you were being intellectually dishonest? Well, you just proved my point.
Or you proved you didn't understand what I was saying. It's okay. We can move on.
Dude? What the fuck are you talking about?
You came here presenting "facts," and when I said they didn't add up, you claim that I didn't understand what you're saying. There are plenty of rebuttals to your argument through out this thread. Are you refusing to consider them? Why are you even bothering trying to discuss this?
If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!

He's not discussing, he's not here to discuss, he's here to proselytize.....clear that up for you?

I also want to point out that you're presenting an appeal to majority/authority. You're saying 2 things in this statement here:

Of course it is.
There is no reason to dispute what reliable, knowledgeable people tell you is true.
Or do you plan to re-work of all Stephen Hawking's calculations just because you don't want to appeal to him as an authority?

Why don't you consider THIS rebuttal? It works perfectly. It shows that your "facts" or "logic" can be used to justify ANYTHING.

I don't consider his arguments because he is Stephen Hawking, or at all because I don't know any of his arguments. If I did know them, I would not consider them because of his credentials, I'd consider them based on whether or not they have evidence to support them. That's the difference between you and me. I value evidence and sound logic over what I'm told is true.
