See previous post.
You know what? I owe you an apology. I did not intent to devolve into name calling. I know nothing about you beyond what I have read on the forum. I disagree with your viewpoint. That does not give me permission to call you names.
Please accept my apology and understand that I do respect your opinions, I just don't agree with them.
Cool man, forgiven. I appologise too, because I am a dick and I know it...
I'm a judgemental bastard too.

^^^^^^^^^^
Keep that for easy "proof" in case I ask for it again... lol

My worldview isn't asserting that unicorns exist. My worldview is simply not denying the possibility.

Then you are a unicorn atheist.
This is EXACTLY the atheist stand on god. We assert that we do not believe god exists but we do not deny the possibility.
There is a possibility that anything you can imagine is possible.The problem here is that possibility and likelihood are two very different things. All current evidence point to the likelihood that neither god nor unicorns exist. However, that does not mean their existence is not possible.

I'm not saying that I believe unicorns never existed, that's where you misunderstand my position. If anything, I'd be a unicorn agnostic. My problem is that I don't think a unicorn deserves myth status. I think it's highly probable that a one-horned beast existed.

Well then we have a problem with definition because a one horned beast is not necessarily a unicorn. For instance, we have one horned beasts in the wild and in our zoos. We call them rhinoceri.
So let's first define unicorn and then we can talk about the possibility of it having existed.

A rhino has 2 horns, does it not?
I had said earlier "species of some horse or predecessor".
Would you allow perhaps a deer or mule to fit that discription too?
.
Nevermind, 2 species do have one...
