Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?
RE: Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?
(September 18, 2017 at 6:25 am)SteveII Wrote: Your definition of evidence is too restrictive (therefore incorrect). You need it to be completely synonymous with proof and it is not.  I have highlighted the relevant words:

ev·i·dence
ˈevədəns/
noun

  1. 1.
    the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.
    "the study finds little evidence of overt discrimination"
    synonyms:
    proofconfirmationverification, substantiation, corroborationaffirmationattestation
    "they found evidence of his plotting"


And since nothing you provide does DICK to indicate whether a proposition is true or valid, your definition here only hurts your case, jacktard.
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.
