How can it nullify my statement and back up my argument? Thinking

Your statement requires an incorrect interpretation of the word, and your argument is wider than your statement. Rolleyes

Perhaps you could explain which interpretation of the word "real" he used then. Real generally means things that are true, factual, etc. How is that a "narrow" interpretation?

LOL @ Even Wink

Which 'interpretation'? ..like I said already:

West's Encypedia (the first Google came up with):
  • Philosophy. Existing objectively in the world regardless of subjectivity or conventions of thought or language.

The way he used 'real' should encompass that meaning IMHO.

Even Adam Wrote:If there is no evidence for something, we have no reason to think that it is real. It is speculation.

God exists objectively, therefore we have reason to think that he is real.

Evidence has no bearing, as it can't possibly.

Logical(and I use that term loosely Wink Shades ) conclusion invalidated by faulty premise.

I'm saying failure #1 because it's a premise with which those with whom you are debating do not accept. It's a faulty premise.

Ok, so how do you know this? I mean, how do you know that God exists objectively?
