P.S. Your bible isn't proof. It is merely a claim...and a poorly written one at that.

Now prove that the Bible is just a claim.

It makes claims, done.

That's self evident. It is just a claim.

Try to prove the Koran or Moby Dick false and you'll see what I mean.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Again, you using circular reasoning. Just because the researchers said so it must be true. How is that any different from what we say?

We will ask you for proof for any claim you wish to convey.

We believe the researcher not because he said it, but because he did either an experiment or observation to leads to his conclusion. In short, he used the scientific method to establish something.

That's still the-researcher-said-it-so-it-must-be-true fallacy. You don't get to win just because its "peer-reviewed"! Get it son?

You missed the whole thing about experiment and observation.

Oh, so its the-researcher-said-that-he-did-experiments-and-observations-so-it-must-be-true fallacy.

Strawman again. Your two for two. I should play fallacy bingo with you.

Seriosly, it has nothing to do with him saying it. It has to do with him doing it.

This thread is so active, you may have missed my previous post.

How is deriving information through experiments and testing a fallacy?

Anybody can say they did x experiments and found Y. Question is, why do you believe him/her without being able to replicate the same?
