Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?
RE: Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?

It can wait if you want because I realize not everyone has the time for a formal debate. I just want to know who, in principle, thinks they could logically and exhaustively present the proposed objections and defeaters to the 5W that are much talked about.

Tell you what, if a formal debate is too much bother, post your best references on this thread, including YouTube videos, if you must.

No need for any formal debate. Four of them are simple fallacies of special pleading and one of them is just plain fucking nonsensical. Then there's the fact that they're all completely unwarranted assertions that have no basis for comparison. You'd have to have access to view a multiverse where you'd already know for a fact that two of them you were observing were 100% for certain created/designed, and the other not, and see how they differed to even think to make this assertion in the first place, otherwise you're just making up bullshit.

Satisfied? If not, fuck off. That's more than you deserved to get from any rational thinker.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
