I did cook my breakfast this morning and I am 640 years old.
You have my testimony.
Don't you believe me ?
Why do you deny this ?
I have given you testimonial evidence.
Isn't that enough ?
Sorry, You are going to have to discuss the reasoning behind what you are trying to say. You should also re-read what I have said about corroborating evidence. Discuss your reasoning first, and then we can test it.
It's not enough is it.
You require something more than my mere testimony.
Why ?
Is it because it's an extraordinary claim .
I claim to be 640 years old and you find it unbelievable because of the simple well known fact that human beings don't live that long.
You need evidence of this claim, but more than that you won't even entertain the idea of discussing because you consider it hypothetical.
According to your own standards, your entire religion is hypothetical.
My reasons for asking these questions are to get you to understand that all claims are not the same. You must present evidence that is equal in nature to the claim being presented.
This whole thread is about presenting evidence for a god.
We can't rely on testimony for such a claim.
We need something more.
Don't you agree ?
