That sort of reasoning is ridiculous because it's not exclusive to God. It opens to door to the existence of not just God but also every imaginable thing like unicorns, leprechauns and Batman. Fear of the supernatural messes up the logic of evidence driving belief. Get the evidence first and then make the belief. Get the electron spin evidence first and then make the belief in electron spin. In science, the brush(evidence) paints the picture. In Christianity, the picture moves the brush. -- D from BC British Columbia

Did you not get it at all? He was saying that an Atheist claiming God does not exist has less than 1% of knowledge. And that their could be evidence for God in the 99% of knowledge that people don't have. He didn't claim that it meant there was a God, just that no one has the knowledge to rule out the possibility that there is a God. > Fear of the supernatural messes up the logic of evidence driving belief. > Get the evidence first and then make the belief. > Get the electron spin evidence first and then make the belief in > electron spin. > > In science, the brush(evidence) paints the picture. > In Christianity, the picture moves the brush.

Perhaps you are speaking of "Red Rocks" in the Denver area? Or what area are you referring to. If you had any brains at all, you would have mentioned to location, not a description of it. Well, Fossil Butte National Monument is one location as well. I am not sure you carry the credence for anyone here to believe anything you say. The thickest deposits are over 792 vertical meters thick, and that is exposed. Where is this place where you can see nearly 3000 ft of exposed vertical sedimentary deposit? These are the thickest in the state of Washington: http://www.dnr.wa.gov/ResearchScience/Topics/GeologyofWashington/Pages/ncascade.aspx I still place zero confidence in anything you post that isn't backed by substantiating links. Merely coming out of your mouth isn't enough. You have zero credence. |
