To assert us of closed-mindedness to the point where all evidence is instantly rejected without consideration is to completely miss the point of what evidence is and is a pre-emptive demeaning of one's opponent. I think it was Tracey Harris of The Atheist Experience who likened people making god claims to people making claims about the social structure of Bigfoot - what it/they eat, habitat, life cycle etc. Unless and until the animal is shown even to be an actual animal, all else that hangs from that single initial presupposition of its existence is pointless speculation.Do you honestly not see the amount of cherry picking you have to do to maintain your disbelief?
Thank you, Drich, for acknowledging that what is usually touted as evidence is only convincing to people who already believe. That's what many of us have been saying all along.
