If I was suppose to start with the assumption that the memory was false, then doesn't that negate the point of you demonstrating it through your story?Not at all, you provided a great example of what we might do when we don't simply say "hmn, guess I was wrong". It was insight into the way -you- think, at the very least.
Quote:Is this why atheist always say that there is no evidence for God.... They just forget it?There are plenty of people who claim to have had an experience of the divine...but fail to recall the details or inaccurately remember what details can be ascertained about their stories. I think you'll find that most of these people are not atheists....which is unsurprising.
