Quote by: KillerArgument  Chainer,
However, you did not PROVE that there was no elephant ever in your shower. Maybe a robber with a pet elephant was at your house while you were out. He saw nothing he wanted to steal, and left the baby elephant in the shower while he was looking. He cleaned up really well, and washed the evidence of the elephant's presence down the drain.
Sure, it's unlikely and sounds preposterous, but how do you KNOW that this did not happen? How could you PROVE this did not happen? |

Improbability+Specification(patterns or customary behaviour) combined can proove the unlikely hood of the event.
Modern crime scene investigation teams would also be able to determine if there was once an elephant or robber in your home. Technology has come along way since this kind of logical debate.

Quote by: KillerArgument A square circle is a contradiction of logic, inherent in the defined terms. That is not the same a saying, "I don't believe there is a deer in the woods." But other people have seen the deer. When you say "there is no God," you are attempting, fallaciously, to do the same thing. |
But I can explore the forest and find the deer, and track it. Again your analogy is non-sequitir.
