You apologist types love to attempt weak analogies. It would be more like Bob says he's wearing underpants, but refuses to so much as show you the waistband.

Quote:I'm just wondering what leads you to think that there isn't evidence that God interacts with people. The only basis I know that you have is the account I gave; is that really all you have?As I've already mentioned, our inability to establish that such an interaction occurs leads me to this conclusion. If there's evidence, then just show me the waistband Bob.
Quote:Right where it used to be. You're the one who's supposedly interested in gathering evidence (incl. eyewitness testimony).Eyewitness testimony that cannot be established as accurate is not evidence that interaction occurred, it's evidence that people see things, tell stories about seeing things...and of course my favorite..that people are entirely too credulous.
Quote:You have a responsibility to support the claims you have made. You have claimed that there isn't evidence that God interacts with people. Support this claim, or expect it to be summarily dismissed.I made the claim that we don't have evidence, which is a solid claim in the absence of evidence (do you see any evidence laying around?, because I don't). Seriously Bob, just show me the waistband and I'll take this a hell of alot more seriously.
