Theistic Arguments: Claims and proof
#11
RE: Theistic Arguments: Claims and proof
Of course there is always a bed of uncertainty. However people will even say "How do you know that this is all not just a dream?" I can simply say "How do you know that this is just not a spaghetti noodle?" Since we cannot know anything is my statement equally as valid?

I do agree with you that absolute knowledge of God's non-existence is unknowable that is not the point of this post. The point of this post is that someone cannot validate their own claims simply by attacking everyone else's.

They have to provide evidence for THEIR claims and without that they do not have support. Those examples above were made to prove that point and not any other. I don't have a problem with someone saying "We do not know for certain there is a God." I do have a problem with someone saying that they do know there is a God for certain and instead of providing evidence they attack other people's worldviews as if this was proof.

I don't think that this post is really referencing you Wooters but rather people coming in here who commit the fallacy I just stated above.
