Shit, now you've done it! We'll get another 44 pages of dancing around the subject while he polishes his philosophical apples for us. Didn't you get the memo? Logical positivism is dead -- dead, I say! If only you could wrap your head around how wrong Carnap was, you might be able to see how accepting the New Testament's bizarre claims can be reconciled with the current state of epistemology. But don't take my word for it. I'm sure that any page/thread now, we'll get that compelling evidence that caused such a strictly disciplined philosopher to believe -- no, to know! -- that Jesus rose from the dead.

Not even close. Occam's razor will never slice in favor of the paranormal/supernatural/never-seen-before alternative. That category of event will always require extraordinary evidence. And no, fitting the described historical accounts does not rise to the standard necessary.

How desperate you are to avoid dealing with the absurd thing s you say. You can't even properly read a post that obviously is mocking the silly response you gave.

On that we can agree. Leastwise you've certainly left the realm of sense making.

I'm perfectly willing to debate you regarding the existence of God. The question is will you actually accept and stop bullshitting and backpedalling with every response you give.
