Creation/evolution3

He claims to have discovered that following the Bible leads to measurable positive results in his life. That's similar to a child learning that grey skies mean rain. Also Drich claims that his methods will work for anybody. That's a little bit like making his results available for peer review. Of course if I can't confirm his results, I'm sure he will tell me that I need to keep trying ... over and over and over. He will never admit that his claims are bogus. (That's where I see the difference between science and faith.)

The problem is that his "peer review" relies on accepting his premises in order to validate his results.

I should hope the problems with such an approach are obvious.

Many of us here have tried Drich's recommendations in the theistic portions of our lives, only to find nothing. He will say that we found nothing because we stopped looking, which is simply another way of stating that faith is a requirement for believing. Amazing, isn't it?

If I've looked everywhere in the kitchen for my car keys, four times over, should I take a fifth look just in case they've popped up in the last three minutes? Why should a god which is alleged to permeate the entire universe be harder to find than a set of car keys? An omnipresent god should make the sun seem minor.

God will help you find those car keys. You just need to look in the right spot. A/S/K


Atheism will also help you find those car keys. You just need to look in the right spot.

Occam's razor (also written as Ockham's razor and in Latin lex parsimoniae) is a problem-solving principle devised by William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347), who was an English Franciscan friar and scholastic philosopher and theologian. The principle states that among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected.
