That is the problem, you're looking to assess it solely on the basis of verifiable evidence. This is your belief system/worldview/whatever you want to call it. This consists of an assumption which means only that which has proven to exist does, anything which has no evidence does not exist. I realise you may not believe this, but the practical application of it equates to be the same thing.
There are no new arguments from either side. To understand someone's persepctive I think you need to take step back and look at what their worldview is, and any conclusions they draw (atheism, agnosticism, theism) is a result of this worldview. Focussing on specific points, premises, etc is, misleading and only going to result in trolling arguments.
I am so sick of seeing Stephen Hawkings' belief being proposed as fact, because Stephen Hawkings' said it. The reason why I began with this argument, is this is where is usually ends, so I thought I'd just cut to the chase.
He probably has something against people in wheel chairs. I'll put him in one if that's the case.
He doesn't seem a very pleasant or very well liked person. Probably not even offline.
It wouldn't surprise me if he ends up getting decked at some point.
Nothing more impressive than internet tough guy talk from a guy called "Ace".
Your reading comprehension doesn't do you any favours.
He said : "It wouldn't surprise me if he ends up getting decked at some point."
You read: He is threatening to deck me.
He never once implied that he would be the one to hit you, so how does his response equate to him being the internet tough guy of whom you speak?
