Does anyone remember that scene from Star Wars: A New Hope when Darth Vader is in a briefing room with a few skeptical admirals? At one point in the scene, one of the admirals openly mocks Vader and his "sad devotion to that ancient religion."
Does anyone remember what Darth Vader did to demonstrate the existence of The Force and the validity of what he believed?
I seem to remember he used the Ontological Argument for The Force.
Or did he use the Transcendental Argument?
Or was is the Moral Argument for The Force?
Oh wait, that's right, I remember. He accepted the burden of proof and provided an extraordinary demonstration to prove his extraordinary claims. He met the burden of proof with a demonstration that could be confused neither for coincidence nor for natural occurrence. It was a rather violent demonstration but nonetheless quite persuasive. I can promise you that if the story had been true, not a single aforcist admiral would have left that briefing room that day, including the one who had ridiculed the belief.

The fact that the best Christian apologists can do is babble on with these nonsensical and abstract arguments says a great deal about how little they can offer.
So AKD, is this the best you can offer?
