I'm overall ignostic because I need to know what God means first. But here I am dealing with WLC's God which is supposed to be outside of space and time and give humans contra causal free will. Such a God is impossible.

Quote:And as for T-rexes, if you were to look around the whole globe and see no T-rex, isn't that "proof enough" they don't exist, given what we know about T-rexes?
It's evidence enough. It would only be 'proof enough' if I were to use the world 'proof' colloquially. Technically speaking, it's not proof—it's evidence.
