Agnostic: a pointless term?
RE: Agnostic: a pointless term?
(February 5, 2015 at 9:59 pm)AFTT47 Wrote: I don't think the unicorn is a good analogy for God. If we're looking for a unicorn here on Earth, there are only so many places where it could possibly be. The chances of an animal that size existing on this planet without a single shred of evidence is essentially zero. The situation with God is different. It could be entirely outside the universe, in a region between multiple universes. There is no reason to believe there is such a critter but we're talking about a realm we know nothing about. Not only is it impossible to rule out but I don't see how anyone could begin to predict odds.

Why do you give god outs that you don't give the unicorn?

One could just as persuasively argue that there's zero chance of something the size of gods on this planet, but unicorns could exist in Fantasy Land.
