If You Could Ask God ONE QUESTION

 Are you implying that absurdity is a proof against existence?  Because, if you are, then you would have a reason to disbelieve it, as then the evidence would tip in favor of nonexistence.  But if absurdity is not (which it isn't), in and of itself, proof against, then there is no reason to assume something doesn't exist.  And, when you get right down to it, saying this computer I'm typing on exists is no less absurd than saying the flying spaghetti monster does.

QFT (Quoted for Tombi)

 

Bolded: No, the absurd examples were just to exaggerate my point. 

Non Bolded: With that line of thinking, human beings wouldn't have gotten anywhere. We would probably still be living in caves. If you want evidence that your computer exists just smash the keyboard over your head. If it hurts, your computer exists  

 

 

 

Wait, do you mean the last line of what I said would get us nowhere, or all of the nonbolded?  If all, I don't see why not assuming one way or the other would have affected humanity's progress.  If the last, that's a different topic (how do I know my head exists?  ;)   )

About the bolded: So, if you weren't to give absurdity as proof, then why assume nonexistence?
