Do you have any evidence to support that statement?

You use "evidence" to support an "argument".  An argument, itself, is not evidence.  Take the argument for climate change, for instance.  One side has temperatures and whether records, the other side denies the significance of that.  One side has "evidence", the other side has an "argument".  The same is true for evolution vs intelligent design.  Evolution is backed by all the evidence in the world, intelligent design is backed by "Nuh uh!"
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.

You know, I thought he was an idiot at first, but he's not.  He's quite learned and intelligent, for the most part.  His beliefs just mean more to him than intellectual integrity.

Which I would say places him right in the idiot camp.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.

If the evidence for a conclusion doesn't support that conclusion; it was never really evidence for the conclusion in the first place. At best, it was misunderstood to be evidence for the conclusion.

It is humorous to watch some try to make arguments against reason.

Trying to use evidentialism to deny that which based on logic, and in the end, denying their own conclusion. Nevermind the purposeful ignorance of the evidence, in order to make this arguemnet (which is without evidence itself) just the principles being put forth are quite funny.

Evidence is only a problem for someone who doesn't have any. Hence the need to bluster about how silly your opponents are for asking you to provide some.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's a little hard to follow that short ramble there.  Are you saying you DO have evidence of something, or is this just a childish, "I'm not the one without evidence!  YOU are!"?

Evidence would be showing big feet or maybe extra large shoes.

Big feet and extra large shoes are indeed evidence. If the feet and shoes are not yours then the evidence does not support the initial statement.

Yes I would have demonstrated that big feet are a thing.
I can then go on to show that they are my feet.
Are you finally getting this evidence thing.

To prove your supernatural entity exists first prove supernatural is a thing.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
