Quote by: kubedawg  I understand science isn't trying to 'arrive' at the truth, which is why this argument is pointless. Creation may be true. Hard to believe, hell yeah, but it may be. You don't know that. Just like we don't know that God didn't place the dinosaur bones on Earth some 10,000 years ago... Noone knows that. |
I also see no reason to believe that there are tiny aliens living inside my spleen that will, one day, erupt through my abdomen. In fact, you'd probably think I was insane if I seriously claimed that I was harboring some extra-terrestrial organism in my innards. I could also claim that you don't
know that there's no such thing living within me. Yes, you could x-ray me or even surgically dig around yourself (if I gave you permission), but, against all scrutiny and investigation, I could still come up with an explanation for your inability to find these abdominal aliens. However, because the burden of proof is on me and, despite this, you've provided immense evidence to the contrary, whereas I've provided none, the logical conclusion would be to conclude my claim as illogical. At this point, you'd be fully in your right to reject it. How is any deity any different? No, I certainly can't deductively
prove that there is no god, but a seemingly endless mound of debunking evidence should imply to any logical person that such divine concepts aren't worth perpetually pondering.
