(June 14, 2017 at 9:18 am)Jehanne Wrote: It is really, really hard to discriminate between things that are invisible for which we have no empirical evidence and "things" that simply do not exist.

If something has an intrinsic property, it is not dependent on discrimination or evidence, pretty much by definition. To say the God idea is intrinsically untrue, you'd have to demonstrate that the God idea is fundamentally illogical, not just lacking evidence.

Now, that doesn't mean the God idea is correct; and certainly as an atheist I'm not surprised you're taking this position. It will be WLC's burden to impress you enough with his brilliant logic that you'll start to seriously reconsider the issue. But we know that's very unlikely to happen.
