The impossibility of the contrary, without God you wouldn’t even be able to argue against His existence because the very concept of proof quietly assumes that God exists.
...ssssoooo.... you have the same amount of evidence for god as for leprechauns, big foot, aliens, the rainbow serpent, Zeus, zero point energy and an expanding earth, none.

This would be Statlers technique as a criminal defense lawyer:
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution will show you
- fingerprints from the crime scene that matches my client's fingerprints
- DNA of semen on the victim that matches my client
- a knife with the victims blood on it that they found in my clients possession
- clothes my client was wearing that has the victims blood on it
- DNA results that match blood to the victim
- autopsy reports that show the victim was strangled
- a rope with DNA on it from the victim found in my clients possession
- a chainsaw that has the victims blood on it that was owned by my client
- a string of witnesses that will testify of a long running dispute between the victim and my client
..but, what you have to remember nobody saw my client sexually assault, strangle, stab then dismember the victim so it's all just a story, the defense rests.

That’s not even a logical syllogism much less a sound one, where is your premise, conclusion, antecedent, and consequent? Care to take another swing?

Nope, the very preconditions of intelligibility do not require that any of those other things exist, they do require that God exists, so false analogy.

Why would you falsely equate forensics with empirical science? I thought you said you knew a thing or two about how science works?

Where have I lied about anything or even tried to con anyone? I am not asking for anything out of this in return, or for anyone to even agree with me. If you can’t hack the debate that’s one thing, but throwing out these false accusations crosses a greater line of impropriety.

Irony: That a creationist would believe that the existence of dinosaur fossils depends on human logic.

Any argument for the existence of god is, by definition, based on personal revelation. As such, it is subjective, not objective, and based on deductive reasoning, not inductive reasoning. Secondly. your first premise is based on the unsupported assumption that all information originates from a mind. Since there is no emperic evidence to support this assumption, your entire argument collapses.

Ok, I will say it simpler. You screwed up the definition of atheism.
Quote:Your posts are direct evidence that you, whatever you may be, exist. Yeah, I know, it sucks, but it is what it is.
No they are not, empirical science is based on direct observation and repeatability, you only have direct observation that my posts exist, not that I exist.
Quote:Any argument for the existence of god is, by definition, based on personal revelation. As such, it is subjective, not objective, and based on deductive reasoning, not inductive reasoning.
Wrong, I reasoned from the particular to the general which is what inductive reasoning is.
Quote: Secondly. your first premise is based on the unsupported assumption that all information originates from a mind. Since there is no emperic evidence to support this assumption, your entire argument collapses.
Wrong again, it’s not an assumption, it’s a rule based upon all observed cases. Information has always been observed to arise from a mind, books, music, and codes. If you have an observed case where information arose devoid of an intelligent mind please present it or the premise stands.

Yes or else you are bearing false testimony which is a form of lying. So you have to prove…
1. My statements are false
2. I knew my statements were false at the time I made them
Good luck with that one.

One of your few good answers. I cannot, in good conscience, give your last post Kudos, but Kudos to this response.

Stat, I asked the question because you do not appear to be a scientist in any way. Perhaps you do work with the USDA, but from the way you abuse science and misuse the scientific method, logic in general, and substitute faith-based, scriptural arguments for science, I have to tell you, my "belief" is that you are perhaps a bean counter, a secretary, or perhaps a courier. That was what I was playing on. I didn't expect you to get that, because, quite frankly, you have been faced with many facts, a great deal of science, and a vast amount of legitimate criticism of your lack of evidence, poor single primary (if it can be called such) source, and constantly tautological goddiditthebiblesaysso shtick, and you haven't seemed to get that, either.
You don't debate. You masturbate.

No, I'll just hit you with the same one, because I don't need to take another one. Dinosaur skeletons are, you know, the skeletons of creatures that we decided to call dinosaurs. No logic required in this instance, no waffle needed.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
