Quote:Often, it is in your interest and worth your time to check out a claim even if you have been given no evidence for it.Yea? Some examples, please? If you read closely, I didn't say claimant brings the proof, I said you have to convince people that it's worth it to check it out. How you do this is up to your creativity. The hypothesis is not even needed to explain anything, so why investigate it? I am not obligated to check out claims
(i did not say without proof, don't put words in my mouth, if there's proof i wouldn't need to check it out, would i?), it's ridiculous to suggest that anyone is. Did you check out all the claims of seeing Elvis after his death? Did you check out all the ufo sightings, bigfoot, and yetis? Why or why not and how did it negatively or positively affect your life?
Quote:As it happens, it would seem that god is worth your time, since you seem to have considered the probability of his existence.He wasn't, but i was unfortunate enough to have been a christian. And i have reasoned out that christian god doesn't exist. For the possibility of a god is a different topic and one i have not devoted much time to, nor do i care to in the future.
