I know what it is, but would be N/A here unless you're suggesting he did a study. Plus the scope of what he suggested would be not only difficult to study but to conclude, so even if he did the grade would be at the lowest level, but the controls alone would be nearly impossible since it would need to represent the scope of mankind throughout history.
I think Brian is being hyperbolic for the sake of brevity. He can correct me, if I'm wrong, ofc. If you want little personal spiel, it goes something like this:
I have been on these forums for upwards of four years now, and I have never been presented with a positive case for the existence of god that wasn't either logically fallacious, or didn't misrepresent science in some fashion, or both. Unlike many of my cohorts here, atheism is not my preferred position. I would prefer that there be "something else", or something "more", beyond death. The fact is, no one has ever made a convincing case to me. No one has ever made a convincing case for the existence of the supernatural. No one has ever been able to give me a sound, positive description of what the supernatural is. So, I withhold belief until such a case is presented.
