When Atheists Can't Think Episode 1: No Evidence for God?

[Delicate]

You believe in plenty of things you can't prove.

You believe your experience of the external world is not an illusion of your mind.

Yes, no one (aside from genuinely disturbed people) act as though solipsism is true. And no, as per Plantinga, we can't rationally demonstrate that solipsism isn't true -- it's simply a basic belief. Please connect the dots for me. How is belief in a god "basic" in the same sense as a belief in an actual external reality? I've mentioned this little nugget of apologetic irrationality before (whether in this or another of your threads -- not sure now) and never heard anything more on the subject.

So you admit not everything you believe is provable. That refutes downbeatplumb's claim.

As to whether belief in God is basic, that's a good question but immaterial to this particular conversation.

So far my point is just that not all we believe is provable.
