That's not what I said.
FreethinkingSceptic Wrote:As far as "detected" goes, I'm not even sure what that means, or what the different ways of detecting something would even be to begin with.
Argument from personal incredulity.
FreethinkingSceptic Wrote:But by your logic, people in the Middle Ages didn't have a way of detecting radio waves, therefore they didn't exist, and people shouldn't have believed that they existed. How silly.
And by your logic everything exists because people once didn't know radio waves existed. That is silly.
FreethinkingSceptic Wrote:For that matter, you don't believe that radio waves exist because you've detected them yourself, you believe they exist because someone else has told you they've been detected.
LoL, what? I've detected radio waves thousands of times with a radio receiver and with a mobile phone because wifi signal is radio waves.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
