I can confirm that Idaho exists. I am making that first hand observation right now.


Loudmouth has won this round. :thumbsup:
The claim has (one) an observable witness.
Any claim that has a repeatable, observable,
experiential aspect will win.

Theories loose when they attempt to prove
historical events. That takes faith.

Maybe. It seems a little awkward to say "I have faith in the American Revolution" even though nobody here has observed it.

HA! I've been there! Been to Sioux Falls... its a happening town! :p

You expect us to buy that? Sioux Falls is obviously in Western Iowa. They are just lying about where the state line is to keep getting all that money for being a fake state.

Does it take more "faith" to believe there was a civil war in theUSA in late 18th century, or to accept Jesus as your savior?

I am going to summarily smash the errant theory that there exists, in fact, a state of Idaho.

- No one has ever observed Idaho.

- Cartographers have to put Idaho on the map or else they won't receive funding and will lose their job.

- They say potatoes come from Idaho, but I can buy potatoes at my local supermarket.

- I have drawn maps without Idaho on them.

So perhaps the Idahoists could now prove to me that Idaho exists against the mountains of evidence against it.

Trust is Jesus and the Father requires great Faith.
Most interesting, the relationship requires
even more faith. God doesn't "speak" until after
you've opened your heart to Him as True.

It's very hard work to give up "self" and have faith. :amen:

I haven't seen anyone who has actually observed Idaho. Just people claiming they have. Why should we trust people who clearly have a vested interest in perpetuating the Godless lie that Idaho exists?

And you're right, we can't prove any historical event ever, at all. Which is another example of how Idahoists fail, someone already explained how some say Idaho was a territory at one point in history and then a state at another time in history. This is an obvious contradiction that the Idahoists can't resolve, because their theory, being only a theory, is simply making random guesses about history that cannot be repeated or observed.

So, as I've said since the beginning. Idaho doesn't exist. My Bible certainly never mentions Idaho. If Idaho exists how come God hasn't told us in His written word?

I feel that it is worth noting, at this point, that such people as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were supporters of Idaho-ism. So, all of you Idaho believers out there are in good company. :thumbsup:

Lewis & Clark passed through the area where Idaho is reputed to exist, yet they never mention it in their extensive notes, maps, and publications from their historic journey. America Yay! Idaho Boo!

Also, the name 'Idaho' was just made up by an eccentric self-promoter. Made up!

If Idaho's name, is from a hoax, the state must also be a hoax, yes? Let's use our logic here. ;)

For those who place their faith in the current, official map of the United States, you haven't smashed a thing.

And for the record, if you smash the 'errant theory' that Idaho exists, are you saying that Idaho exists?
