My Humpty Dumpty Challenge

[AV1611VET]

How so? What is the corroborating evidence for the claim?

Look at it from a third-person perspective.

God parts the Red Sea, the Israelites cross the Red Sea.

Thousands of years later, academians claim it didn't happen.

Who's right?

 

[AV1611VET]

As the miracle never have happened, belief is all there is.

Fair enough.

Wrong, but fair.

 

[VirOptimus]

God parts the Red Sea, -snip-

That is, again, a claim with no supporting data or evidence.

 

[VirOptimus]

Fair enough.

Wrong, but fair.

No, I have reality on my side, you may believe I'm wrong but you cannot support that view with data or evidence.

I find it difficult to believe that a cannon that falls off of a wall couldn't be put back together again.

I bet you couldn't fix it.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Look at it from a third-person perspective.

God parts the Red Sea, the Israelites cross the Red Sea.

Thousands of years later, academians claim it didn't happen.

Who's right?

The academics.

 

[AV1611VET]

That is, again, a claim with no supporting data or evidence.

Man, you're just SOL when it comes to evidence, aren't you?

Short on Luck

I'd pursue another line of questioning, if I were you.

 

[AV1611VET]

No, I have reality on my side,

You have only part of reality on your side.

 

[AV1611VET]

I bet you couldn't fix it.

No argument there.

I couldn't fix it if it was an egg, either.

 

[AV1611VET]

The academics.

I'll bet none of your students fail, do they?

 

[TLK Valentine]

No argument there.

I couldn't fix it if it was an egg, either.

Then you probably shouldn't be too flummoxed by the concept of an object damaged beyond repair.

 

[TLK Valentine]

I'll bet none of your students fail, do they?

I'm sorry, was this an attempt to make some sort of point?

 

[SLP]

Look at it from a third-person perspective.

God parts the Red Sea, the Israelites cross the Red Sea.

Thousands of years later, academians claim it didn't happen.

Who's right?

"Academians."

 

[Ophiolite]

"Academians."

Aren't they a kind of nut?

 

[AV1611VET]

Aren't they a kind of nut?

Yes.
