Hi Moros Synackaon,

If you'd like to start a thread on the subject (with some justification for your views) I would be happy to engage with it.
(January 30, 2011 at 1:48 pm)Matthew Wrote: And yet you trust in the capacity of the tales told by a clan of goatherders and "improved" by the committee, I mean council, of Nicea. Charming.Not only in this comment out of place once again, as above, but you are confusing the categories of capacity to trust (the cognitive faculties of the knower) and capacity to be trusted (the reliability of the source of knowledge). [Also, I wasn't aware that goatherders were so notorious, or that the Bible was only written by goatherders, or that the council of Nicea had anything whatsoever to do with the formation of the Biblical text or canon.]
Quote:Ignorance is a bitch, isn't it?Exactly my point, and nicely evidenced by your previous comment.
Quote:So, tell me, have you knowledge on the existence of God in a provable fashion, and if not, why should your system (God) hold any more validity than some monkeys Darwinian (hi!) convictions?Provable in what sense and according to whose epistemology?
