[QUOTE="Gumph, post: 73471134, member: 358578"] I think thats a bit of an unreasonable request, considering the time and effort that would require. In addition, in the interest of completeness I would have to do the same with the original languages of all the main religions. It starts getting a bit ridiculous. But I will still be relying on the opinions of fallible men. Why can I not verify that there is a god without having to trust a potentially lying human? It is so counter intuitive. The Bible itself says we are imperfect sinners, and yet we must trust the word of these self same sinners? No, I've seen them fly before. Maybe not that specific one, but similar ones. To use your analogy more accurately to reflect what Christianity expects, I would have to just believe hard enough and the plane will take me to Jupiter soon. To more accurately reflect your analogy: would I want to verify the medicine if a doctor told me that the concoction in the syringe is from an ancient family recipe that someone he once knew gave him and assured him that I would never age or get sick again - at the cost of U$100'000 a jab? Indeed I would like to first verify his claims. Because their claims are routine, your experts are instead claiming something rather unusual. [/QUOTE]
