Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Disproving God

[Mister Agenda]

My biggest piece of evidence is the NT. I'm still waiting why that is "no evidence" and "not a reason" to believe.

Because it has not been established to be true.

This is not complicated.

And the reason that it would have to be established as true is that it is the claim, not the evidence for the claim. All kinds of ancient documents claim miraculous events, if such things are claimed for any other religion they are not taken at face value in the West. If we treated the NT like we would a non-Abrahamic religious document making similar claims (those silly Hindus believing all that stuff Krishna was supposed to have done), it would already be classified as legendary literature. Unless, of course, there was convincing evidence outside the writings of the faithful that the miraculous parts were true. I don't see Christians telling skeptics that they should take stories about Krishna at face value unless there's a special reason not to.

If the Romans had noticed and recorded half the supernatural stuff that was supposed to be happening under their noses, even I would have to agree that there's something different about the NT compared to the supernatural claims of other cultures.

Well, I think I just told you that the NT has not presented evidence (which is why the claims haven't been demonstrated). That is different from the NT as a whole not being evidence. I implied the latter in my argument, not the former.

This is becoming increasingly frustrating for me so I will not continue, but I would like to point out a couple of things:

First, you need a refresher on logical fallacies. Google can help you.
Second, you haven't studied evolution enough. Google can help you with this too.

LOL. You mean that your unsupported assertions against Christianity aren't just accepted as true?! I can imagine the frustration. TIP: In a discussion forum, you might want to use some facts in the normal back-and-forth and not just go with the same assertions over an over and wonder why I won't accept them.

Yeah, you've run off another atheist through the power of being impenetrable. Crow like a rooster about it, like Jesus would have.
