Of course he doesn't. That would actually require him to rationally defend his position to a group of skeptical adults rather than get paid to preach to the gullible flock -- at least when he's not indoctrinating his own child into his sick ancient cult.

Quote:Did you SEE any of that happen? How do you know it happened? Maybe you atheists have more faith than you give yourselves credit for.

Cheap rhetorical flourishes won't cut it, son. Scientists are able to make reasonable inferences about past events on the basis of present conditions. It happens all the time. By your standard, for instance, no one could ever be reasonably convicted of a crime on the basis of forensic evidence if there was no eye witness.

Hell, if you're going to be honest and consistent with your "did you see any of that happen" argument, that pretty much flushes the entire Christian faith down the toilet, doesn't it? After all, you and your parents didn't witness any of the alleged events that form the basis for your faith.
