Perfection!

RE: Perfection!
(February 6, 2010 at 3:12 pm)Purple Rabbit Wrote: I totally agree with: "I have no evidence of X so that's why I have no belief in X" and that could be relevant for debate on X since it is an open invitation to present evidence for X. But the faith statement you make of it ("I don't believe I know of any evidence for the existence of X in an objective or absolute sense") suggests that some inability to retrieve your own knowledge is presented as a reason (i.e. argument) for absence of belief. And that indeed is argument from ignorance.

If you question that you know X than you must also question that you believe X and infinite regress results: "I don't believe, that I don't believe, that I don't believe,...that I know of any evidence of X"
Purple Rabbit, just read his post already. He's saying that he doesn't know of any evidence that would prove 'perfection' objectively. It's a wonderfully honest response, given the subject matter. That is not an argument from incredulity.

EvF didn't make any such claim that he knows there is no evidence for perfection, that is absurd, and only if he said that could you flay him alive, but what you can't do is attack someone for simply stating "I don't know".
