Quote:By what reasoning did you to think God has spatio-temporal properties?
My interpretation of the bible is that God acts on reality so therefore he should leave evidence. So Jesus was never spatio-temporal?
Quote:Am I to understand that you will believe a proposition only when there is scientific evidence for it?
Depends on what you mean by proposition. I believe that reality is real because it has been demonstrated to me to be a basic belief from the "non-existence" thread. There are things I will accept without evidence.
Quote:Are you aware of the rock and hard place you're wedging yourself into, with a falsehood on one side and a fallacy on the other?
Nope, what are they?
Quote:I ask this because, if you think it is possible for something without spatio-temporal properties to exist, then what evidence for its existence would you expect to find?
I don't believe in anything that exists outside the material universe. Anything real should be measurable. I have not seen any reason to believe in a trancendant thing.
I wasn't saying that anyone created an argument in answer to evidential claims directly. I am saying that it is awfully convenient that God just happens to exist in some special place outside of space and time. I now agree that if a thing spoke existence into being it would, by definition, have to be outside of that space and time, but it sounds like special pleading to me.
