Squirrels like to eat nuts so we should have no problem feeding him to a squirrel.
Well, to be honest, he did say he can turn into a squirrel, not a nut; but for the record, I think maybe at the time, he was preferring an Almond Joy to a Mounds; if you know what I mean.

If you get eaten by a squirrel then you turn into a squirrel. John Wesley did a sermon on that once. If you died and they threw you into the ocean, and then were eaten by a fish. Then someone ate that fish how would God straighten that out at the resurrection. You would have two people that share the same elements that make up life. He decided to resolve the issue by saying the second person could only use that substance for energy, it could not be used for the body that would be resurrected.

"God can distinguish and keep unmixed from all other bodies the particular dust into which our several bodies are dissolved, and can gather it together and join it again, how far soever dispersed asunder."

Squirrel poop does not generally turn back into the nuts that the squirrel originally ate.
Not origional, but the bacteria breaks it down and it becomes food for a new nut. In fact there are some seeds that have to go through the digestive system of a bird to remove the coating. Then they will sprout and grow a new plant. That is one way seeds get distributed in the tummy of a bird.

We have a lot of squirrels around here. Every now and then they get bored and come around wanting to play. If I try to shoot them with something they do not like the sound of that and they take off. But if I use a sling shot or try to throw a rock at them they seem to like that. Sometimes they will just sit there knowing I am not a good enough aim to get them.

And this has nothing to do with my original claim.

I can change my shape until I, Tiberius, take on the form of a squirrel. I am not eaten by a squirrel. The squirrel IS me.

Since there is no evidence to say that I cannot accomplish this feat, you must accept that I could possibly do it, as per post 5 in this thread, where AV said, "have no right to say Heaven, or God, or Jesus, or angels, or even the Flood doesn't exist because they haven't seen the evidence"

Now, yes, he refers to the existence of God, not me turning into a squirrel, but we must read what he said as, "have no right to say [a particular thing] doesn't exist because they haven't seen the evidence." because if we don't, then AV is guilty of a double standard, and AV would never do that, would he?

Ok, so there is no God because you are a squirrel. Got it. But if God does not provide nuts for the squirrels, then who does? You are going to be one very hungry squirrel with no food to eat.
I wonder if he thinks those who eat squirrel are cannibals?

That is, I'm sorry, one of the stupidest things I've ever seen anyone say.

I never made any such claim. I never made any reference to God.

My whole point was that the argument "You can't prove me wrong, so I could be right" is ridiculous. You can't prove I don't turn into a squirrel, so you must accept that maybe I can turn into a squirrel. This is ridiculous, but the logic of the claim requires it.

So, My point is that the argument "You can't prove X wrong, so maybe X is real" is stupid.

How you got to "Tiberius can turn into a squirrel, therefore no God" is beyond me.

Who's the guy that pioneered that, and died using it? I've seen vids of guys doing that on skis, which is nuts enough even though it has a possible safe landing. How do you land this?

I don't know if anyone Died pioneering this (you got a link for that?) or is that just a wild guess?

As for how do they land ? They use the parachute that's attached to their back.
