Daystar - Throughout the ages of darkness and light - every half century, in fact - a person of only the highest scientific quality is chosen to carry on the study of the supernatural and today, EVF ... that person is you!
You must now go forth and proove the supernatural! Let the evidence guide and protect you in your nearly infinate wisdom and attention span! Go forth, son of man!
EvidenceVsFaith - I'm not the one claiming the supernatural.
Daystar - I didn't say that you were.
Daystar - [sigh] What?
EvidenceVsFaith - What? What I said.
Daystar - I didn't bother to read it.
EvidenceVsFaith - The thing is though, the skeptic could also say the claims didn't happen at all. Or some of the claims at least.
Daystar - Well that would save a great deal of time, wouldn't it . . .
EvidenceVsFaith - But it would be correct if its due to the lack of evidence. Its correct to dismiss claims that lack evidence.
Daystar - It may be correct to dismiss some claims that lack evidence if it has been thoroughly established that that is in fact the case, however there is always the possibility that the evidence just hasn't 'presented itself' to the casual observer or they hadn't bothered to look at it because they were already of the opinion that it was for shit. This is based upon the possibility that there is nothing further that can be done with a lack of evidence. Especially actually look for evidence, right? Right.
By the way, Mr. Evidence ... I have noticed that your own evidence regarding the mutation of the Pepper Moth is obstanately persisting in its abscence!
I see no evidence there at all!
[looks under the bed] No evidence here!
[asks the cat] No. Hasn't seen any ...
Hmmmm .... Should I just dismiss it because there is no evidence or is the [
] evolution shit?
