The only proof you have is your word/authority.Which is the only proof required...as it is a statement of what he does or does not believe, does or does not know. It is not declaration of the factual accuracy of the statement (that there is no god) but the factual accuracy of the statement that "all men know there is a god" He does not, in fact he knows the precise opposition to the claim. The claim as constructed is unfortunately absolute -all men- It's a done deal. I would repeat his claim as my own. So now there are two men...at least, in a world where "all men know there is a god"....and that's troubling for the claim, I'd say.
Do you know how a telephone works? Apply the statement "All men know how telephones work". What do you think?
Quote:Serious question here: Why should I take your word for it? Can it be proven you're not lying to me?No more so than you could prove that you believed in god. Tread lightly, the floor of solipsism is thin(or maybe not).
I know, not meant for me..but that's the third time I've seen it (or it's ilk) today.
