Have you any evidence that suggests the two are not the same?(December 12, 2009 at 12:35 pm)tackattack Wrote: OK so the burden was on me if I wanted to prove Jesus existed. I'll presume you see little tangible truth in scripture. Let's see if it's worth the effort and let me ask this. How many different blurry photos of "Bigfoot" would it take for you to accept the possibility that he's real? From what I gather it would never be enough unless you could put him on a slab and cut him open yourself. True statement?For some people? Perhaps.
Lets go with several clear pictures/videos of "Bigfoot" from multiple sources, a detailed scientific observation of "Bigfoot" (supported by multiple forms of evidence), and perhaps an explanation of just what "Bigfoot" is?
I'd be quite inclined to give "Bigfoot" some serious thought if those criteria were met. I don't need to cut "Bigfoot" open to believe it exists... i simply need some reasons to believe it exists. As is: I have none. Hence: I do not believe it exists.
Am I open to considering its existence? Only if I see enough reason to (see 'evidence'). While a few blurry pictures may be enough for some people to accept as proof... my requirements are considerably more difficult to meet.
