Formal debate challenge - Taqiyya Mockingbird

RE: Formal debate challenge - Taqiyya Mockingbird
Here's one you ignored from one of your other threads. This is why people here don't want to debate you.

Can anyone give me a good case against the existence of God that can stand up to scrutiny?

I'd like to take this moment to talk to you about something very real. It's called the null hypothesis. More or less, it's the default position of the scientific method (you may not like it, but it's the reason you've got a computer to sit in front of.) As wikipedia states:

Quote:It is important to understand that the null hypothesis can never be proven. A set of data can only reject a null hypothesis or fail to reject it.

That stated, if your hypothesis is "God exists, all things in the universe are a result of him" then the null hypothesis by default is "God does not exist, all things in the universe are a result of chance."

In this argument, the atheists are on the side of the null hypothesis. Remembering that the null can not be proven, only rejected or accepted, it is up to you to provide the proof that the null is false.

That is why not only can we not give you a good case against the existence of God that can stand up to scrutiny, it is not our job.

I hope that is good enough for you.

You've come here asking for proof we can't provide, knowing full well we can't provide it. Your arguments are rather weak, and because of your failure to use logic correctly are rejected by most of us outright. I think it makes you angry because you can't change our minds. Which goes back to my earlier sentiments that you're looking for converts here.
You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!? [Image: TARDIS.gif]
