[W:843] How religious thinking works

RAMOSS said:
Ah, the argument from ignorance, with the sophomoric 'we can't know anything conclusion. That is incorrect. We know enough that we have elminated a lot of things from possibility. One is definitely 'a world wide flood from the last 5 to 8 million years.

And here we have evidence that you do not know the difference between what a piece of evidence is, what a layman's theory is, and what a scientific theory is. Do you have any other comment to demonstrate your lack of understanding?

Well, before I do so, define 'what is the Jehovah God' ? Can you define what the Jehovah god is, without resorting to actions God was supposed to have done, or terms that are merely metaphysical? Can you do that?

Why should I when you have yet to answer my question?

In other words, you are asking me to disprove somethning you can't even tell me what to disprove. I see. Talk about 'shifting the burden of proof'.

I didn't ask who. Why do you lie? I asked 'what'. There is a difference between 'who', and what.

Everything is a what. .. one way or another. What and who are not mutually exclusive. What is a category of description.
 
Can Elvira prove that there are little green men on an exoplanet?

You ignored the preceding...that is called taking my comment out of context...:naughty

Ignoring your preaching is what most people do.

Edit: still waiting for your response to pst #796


What do you claim to not know? (that is what you wish to know)

There are different definitions of "evidence" one would be to support that which is evident. By that definition there is no evidence that god exists.
But we will use the legal usage and refer to evidence as that which may support your argument.

You don't answer inconvenient questions.

There are no shreds of evidence for the tall tales in the Bible.
 
@ thread OP...My personal observations and life experiences tell me that most of the religious think as they were told to think during their religious exposure/indoctrination in their youth. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule.

In specific, let's limit the definition to a 'scientific theory', since the subject was about what could be known.

I have a prediction that question will be avoided or deflected, based on analysis of previous behaviors.

Do you claim a world wide flood actually happened?

Since you've apparently never noticed, I don't engage in discussions such as this.

As I've just replied to RAMOSS, I refuse to engage in discussions such as this.

Nope. That is fact.

It is fact that there was no world wide flood. It would show up in the geological record. It does not.

It is a fact that a person cannot live in side a fish for three days. They would be consumed.

It is a fact that mankind did not poof into existence. We evolved.

It is a fact that there is zero evidence that the Exodus happened, or that Jews were ever enslaved en masse in Egypt. This even though the Egyptians kept good records during the entire period, and never once mention the enslaving of the Jews..


Which of these do you not know is a fact? I'm not sure where your education is lacking, but if you tell me I can point you in the right direction to fix it.

I'm not going to argue with you. I was just laughing along as I read the above and thinking "Well, alrighty then!" until I reached your last sentence. The hubris was a surprise.

YEt, you brought the shroud up, and every single one of the shrouds have been positively shown to be forgeries. I wonder why that is?
 
Is that how religious thinking works?
