| timmah said: We've established pretty firmly that it's not possible to prove or disprove the existence of God, and you agree with that, yet you want somebody to say "God exists, my religion is right, here's proof"? So you have presented an impossible premise that we must meet in order to satisfy your wishes. Awesome. |
Why he did that is becasue if you want to make statements about reality and be taken seriously, the null hypothesis convention applies. IE if you make a statement, it needs to be backed up or it can be disregarded. Tons of religious people make claims about reality all the time and expect to be taken seriosly, but for their statements to have any weight, they must also be backed up in the real world.
If the null hypothesis convention did not apply, I could prove all kinds of absurdities based on them not being disprovable, which the flying spaghetti monster is an example of.
I LOVE ICELAND!
