Exactly. If lots of people believe it, it must be true by the principle of argumentum ad popularum. I don't know what that means but it sounds like Latin so it must be true. Checkmate atheists!
Quote:That means providing evidence for how life originated. Occam's Razor says if the earth looks designed it probably is, so it is up to naysayers to prove otherwise.
I say the same thing when I look up at a cloud and see a ship or a bunny rabbit or some other identifiable shape. The Lord must be shaping the cloud for it to look like that. You don't think it's just me seeing patterns in random formations and being influenced by confirmation bias do you? Checkmate atheists!
Quote:Not seeing God does not mean He does not exist--it just means the assumed naturalistic point of view has not been validated.
Exactly. Argumentum ad Ignorantum. Another logical principle using Latin sounding words! Checkmate atheists!
Quote:You assume natural things are all that exist and ask for natural proof of God. Christians feel that they could not contemplate spiritual things unless spiritual things did in fact exist.
Another brilliant point! We couldn't think of something unless that something actually existed! Brilliant non sequitur.
Quote:There is one truth in this world, and sometimes its worth suspending worldly reason to get it.
Or as my signature quote says, you must pluck out the eye of reason to see by faith.
"You don't need facts when you got Jesus." -Pastor Deacon Fred, Landover Baptist Church
: True Christian is a Trademark of the Landover Baptist Church. I have no affiliation with this fine group of True Christians because I can't afford their tithing requirements but would like to be. Maybe someday the Lord will bless me with enough riches that I am able to.
