And it is just as POINTLESS for a skeptic to parrot "There is no evidence for God" (Since there is circumstantial evidence, at least.)
We hear this ground leveling bullshit a'plenty......pretty sure you're going to fail to provide what you've -just- claimed to possess. Let's see some of that evidence.
Surely, if it doesn't materialize..then there is nothing pointless or difficult about concluding that there is none. I don't have any evidence, I've never seen any evidence.....no one has ever provided me with evidence...and the people who claim to have it (you've decided to include yourself in that lot, hilariously) routinely fail to provide in the most fantastic manner imaginable. Evidence must be..wait for it..evident. If "evidence" is not evident..then it isn't evidence, end of story.
Let's switch the subject, to make it less contentious. Someone claims to have a marble. I;ve never seen a marble, I don't possess a marble. Fine, I say, lets see this "marble". Turns out the claimant can't actually show you the marble. Plenty of other people believe in marbles, that they have marbles....you ask them, none of them are any better at demonstrating this "marble" business than the first guy. What you notice, in all of this marble brewhaha..is that different people who all claim to have marbles describe different things. Someone comes along and says they have evidence of marbles...but can't actually provide that evidence......
How long are you going to deal with this bullshit before you conclude that marbles are fantasy, or worse..that people are fucking with you, being deliberately deceitful in their claims? The amusing bit, imo..is that it doesn't actually matter whether or not there really are marbles (or a god) in this context. Either way, the statement, "there is no evidence for marbles/god" is justified just as equally and rationally.
