Sure, I lied. Now, where do you stand in terms of possibility then? Surely, you can grant that it's not impossible, right?
I think Sheldon's position, and he is welcome to correct me if I am wrong, is that they don't know if a god or God, as usually defined, is possible. Therefore he doesn't believe it is possible; that is, he does not hold the proposition that it IS possible to be true. They also do not hold the opposite position, that it is impossible.
As an aside, it is certainly possible that somewhere in the universe a creature that looks like a unicorn could exist. A horselike or goatlike animal with a single horn coming out of its forehead. That's possible. We can make a creature like that now, if we want. But one that can only be captured by a virgin whose horn can purify water and has supernatural healing powers? I don't believe that kind of unicorn is possible.
PS: This reasoning also applies to the possibility of elephants where they could exist but don't.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
