Christian, nominally interested in "theoretical" aspects of "science", says on an atheist forum: therefore it is better to ignore the proof.
...? I never said that anyone should ignore any proof.
It's more like this:
P -> (Q or R)
Someone says, "This means that P implies R!" I say, "Well, no, because we know Q is true. We don't have enough to determine whether R is true from P -> (Q or R)."
How does that amount to "We should ignore a proof"?

Proof: A therefore not B
Christian: invalid, because god can do anything!

Where did I say anything like "That proof is invalid because God can do anything"??????
