@M7_Reaper@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 This is not subjective like you want to claim it is. It’s about epistemic justification which can be achieved through objective standards of evidence.
@M7_Reaper@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 If you don’t want to take it at face value, you’d very rightly demand some evidence that dragons exist. You *do* have good reason not to accept or maybe even to reject the claim.
@M7_Reaper@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 I agree. Neither of those things are evidence god doesn't exist.
I don't presume anything about what god wants because as of right now I don't believe one exists, or at the very least I don't believe the god of the Bible exists.
@MutantCB@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 Why do you presume God wanted you or anyone else to be able to scientifically verify whether or not Jesus rose from the grave? The absence of such evidence is not proof God doesn’t exist nor is it even evidence he doesn’t exist.
@MutantCB@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 You clearly aren’t the right person because you haven’t said a single thing I haven’t heard 1000 times before. Same weak virtually non-existent arguments, even weaker rebuttals. You want to believe so badly that you are the one with a rational worldview but the opposite is true
@M7_Reaper@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 I'm aware of what you're referring to, but confirming that the same individual that was dead is the same individual that was alive again would at least be a start, but we can't even do that, can we?
@M7_Reaper@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 I know you believe that because you don't understand the theory well enough.
We can go on about this all day but Twitter is absolutely not the right space to fill in the gaps of your ignorance, and I'm probably not the one to do it anyways.
@M7_Reaper@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 Lol no that's now how that works.
The evidence came first. Theories *describe* the evidence.
Again, you keep having the gall to call me ignorant when it's so plainly clear you don't understand some of the fundamentals at play here.
@M7_Reaper@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 Let's take the resurrection. What forensic methodology can you apply to that claim? Do you have access to the body, either dead or "resurrected?" Are you able to examine the grave and interview alleged witnesses?
No?
That's what I thought.
@M7_Reaper@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 It's not "my nonsense theory", it's been the predominant model used by the scientific community for over a century. Also scientific theories are not facts and they're not purporting to be. You keep having the gall to call me uneducated yet you keep making these very simple errors
@M7_Reaper@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 Mmm no it's pretty much a fact.
Starting with a conclusion first (the stories in the Bible) and then finding "evidence" to support that narrative is exactly backwards from how scientific methodology or *any* good reasoning works.
@M7_Reaper@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 Have you been in the laboratories? Have you understood the methodologies used to draw the conclusions? Have you performed your own testing and experiments to falsify results? No? Then you don't have a good reason.
@M7_Reaper@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 Again, "proof" is not an applicable term.
LOTS of evidence exists that supports evolutionary theory, that's why it's still the bedrock of modern biology.
@MutantCB@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 So you openly admit no proof for the clown theory exists? Yet you believe it and reject the belief in God due to a lack of proof?
Funny how hypocritical atheists are.
@M7_Reaper@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 You missed the point. Not that I'm surprised.
But hey, if you want to play that game, you can't go back in time and observe Noah's Flood or the Resurrection, either, and unlike scientific claims those stories require *massive* assumptions.
@MutantCB@ke86108@dat_dogg_shaggy@TedLogan1010 False equivalence bozo, I can go to Singapore. I don’t need to rely on your word, “experts” word, or anyone else’s word or even “evidence”. I can go there and prove to myself it exists.
I cannot do that with the claim that a reptile became a mammal nor can you.
