Evidence Against God

[Phil]

Lots of people think you can't prove a negative but popularity doesn't make the saying true. A negative can easily be proven. For example, the statement 2 + 2 = 5 is made and here is a small proof that it is false. You have 2 rocks in your left hand you throw on a table in front of you. You have another 2 rocks in your right hand you also throw on the table in front of you. The table does not hold 5 rocks therefore the statement that 2 + 2 = 5 is proven false.

Aha, a simple proof of a simple fact, namely that 2+2=4. Just for a laugh, go and post it in the philosophy section and watch the buttmunches try and babble their way around it.

OR if you don't have all your facts (variables) upfront, then 2+2=5 is true if by an error by ommission. the table holds 5 rocks because there was already one on it when you started throwing yours onto it. not looking at all the facts is how theists conveniently explain things in gaps.

Which doesn't make it true. I would have thought that should be obvious.

I'm actually pleased to hear that. Sagan couldn't have been so dumb. Who the hell is Rees and what credibility does he have?
