How do I know? Because it told me so. The writings on the cave wall are my proof, but it may be some time before you see them...and I cannot guarantee three resurrections for three years straight either. Trust the unicorn though...er...cockatrice...er...I mean dragon.
Nice, I see the wheels have fallen off of your analogy wagon. The original purpose of your analogy (I assume) was to try and demonstrate that your dragon can just as adequately explain the preconditions of knowledge as Yahweh’s existence does. Thus far you have failed. You have undermined our confidence in the uniformity of nature, thus rendering all scientific inquiry impossible. To make things even worse you have now allowed for the possibility of logical contradictions, which renders all deductive proof impossible. All you have done is add support to my original position; only Yahweh’s existence can justify the preconditions of reasoning and knowledge, therefore we can know that Yahweh exists as far as we can know anything at all. Thanks for the assist my friend!
