My Next Apple Challenge

[AV1611VET]

You are the one who says that evidence can take a hike. It isn't us who reject evidence.

In the case of the creation week, what evidence am I telling to take a hike?

In the case of the ancient age of the Earth, you are telling all of it to take a hike.

 

[AV1611VET]

I don´t think there should be evidence for things that never happened.

Neither do I.

 

[AV1611VET]

In the case of the ancient age of the Earth, you are telling all of it to take a hike.

But I accept the conclusion, don't I?

 

[Loudmouth]

But I accept the conclusion, don't I?

No, you don't.

 

[quatona]

Neither do I.

Cool.
Now there´s only one problem left: that things that allegedly happened without evidence are indistinguishable from things that never happened.
I understand that for a person like you - who believes in stuff for which there neither is nor can be evidence - this is an uncomfortable fact.
I´m just not seeing how I could possibly solve it or at least make this rough patch a little more comfortable for you. Neither do I see why you try to blame this your inconvenience on us.

 

[AV1611VET]

I can't help that.

That's you guys' burden, not mine.

You guys won't accept anything without evidence; whereas we take the occurrences by faith.

We call them "miracles."

That's why when Enoch was translated (raptured), I can see a search party out looking for him.

Ditto for Elijah.

When he was raptured, scientific methodists searched for him for three days before giving up.

The miracle of Elijah being taken to Heaven in a whirlwind sans evidence was indistinguishable from things that never happened; and so these scientific methodists searched in vain for days.

At least they finally gave up and believed Elisha.

You guys don't know when to quit.

 

[quatona]

No, it´s not my problem. Seeing how you create thread after thread whining about your inability to make the entities of your beliefs distinguishable from non-existing entities, this even seems to cause you major suffering.

You guys won't accept anything without evidence; whereas we take the occurrences by faith.

Just certain "occurences", to be precise.

We call them "miracles."

Like the ones do whose "occurences" you don´t have faith in.
Fancy names don´t help with anything, though.

You guys don't know when to quit.

That´s true - but what would you do without our attention?

It isn't us who reject evidence.

Are we tripping over semantics here? No one questions the evidence, we appreciate the hard work that evolutionists put into gathering the evidence. We only question the story they want to make up and tell about the evidence.

"To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind." Ecc 2:26

What is made up?

Even if you give them a dump truck full of evidence they will still reject the evidence and substitute their own preconceived misconceptions. They are not willing to go where the evidence takes them.

 

[joshua 1 9]

Your opinions about the evidence. I know a lot about you because of the way you judge others. You do not realize how much you tell on yourself. Someday you will have to deal with yourself but for now you are more comfortable to project it out on others.

 

[TLK Valentine]

I noticed you stopped just shy of mentioning "with zero evidence."

You guys are so dead-set on thinking there should be evidence, you need to feature creep a simple challenge until it's something you can accuse God of doing.

And even then you won't admit zero evidence.

How much evidence does a fake require?

No, as an atheist I dont belive in god(s), so claims without evidence will be dismissed. Its that simple.

Depends on what you consider non evidence, doesn't it?

How many churches do you pass on the way to work?

People are gullible and insecure... so what?

 

[Loudmouth]

Your opinions about the evidence.

I have scientific conclusions backed by evidence, not opinions.

I know a lot about you because of the way you judge others. You do not realize how much you tell on yourself. Someday you will have to deal with yourself but for now you are more comfortable to project it out on others.

Project what?

 

[AV1611VET]

That doesn't mean they have to demand evidence for something that didn't generate any.

We do have evidence. It is the world around us.

How does that evidence point to a young Earth or creationism?

Wrong thread.

You tell me how it points to creatio ex nihilo or explain why you can't.
