On the nature of evidence.

[Fidel_Castronaut]

On that note, my point becomes: If God did in fact exist and the ways I've described were the only way he were willing to communicate with you at the moment for reasons he can't currently explain to you, then your standard of evidence would tie his hands in terms of reaching out and making contact with you.

And we're none the worse off for it. On the other hand, if the requirements for what can be correctly recognized as evidence are bastardized to the point of personal credulity, for which you allow, then virtually all claims become justifiable as truths and man remains ignorant of true causes.

And that's the thread.
