He stated what is known and accepted should you seriously consider the subject.
That's simply an appeal to consensus fallacy. Simply because it is commonly accepted that these things are non-empirical objects does not mean they are so.
Quote: Are you claiming that God, angels, heaven etc are empirically provable? ie do you contest the stand point?
I never made the claim that they are empirically provable. I just want to know why you guys think they're "non-empirical" whilst apparently dismissing other extraordinary claims for empirical reasons. So far I've been only been given appeal to definition and consensus fallacies in response.

That would be awesome.
Quote:What of course you mean to address is the conflict with your own strictly empirically derived assumption that the non empirical cannot be true... which Ryft is already addressing.
I never said the non empirical cannot be true.
