That's a lot of effort to convince others you're delusional.I would honestly tell people I remember receiving it as a miraculous creation of a man that I associated with God. I would also honestly tell people that I presume I was likely hallucinating.
I would investigate where it came from - look up the UID and IMEI numbers and figure out which factory it was manufactured at, when it was made. If the hardware lacked an imprinted IMEI, that would be evidence to support the claim that it really came from nothing. If the IMEI was within the range of known manufacturing, that would support the claim that I got it by some mundane method and am delusional.
Drugs have nothing to do with how I act.You are obviously a narcissist.
I gave two methods for distinguishing a divinely created ipad from a manufactured one. Since you seem to object to my assumption that God is not a deceiver, I even included one that could be tested even with a deceitful god. This isn't a case of the question not being answered, but you refusing to address the answer.That'd be nice.
But I didn't call this a "challenge" for nothing.
I know you guys too well.
Roger Bacon would be proud of you.
I already went that route, the answer was ignored.I would honestly tell people I remember receiving it as a miraculous creation of a man that I associated with God. I would also honestly tell people that I presume I was likely hallucinating.

Okay ... Whatever.I gave two methods for distinguishing a divinely created ipad from a manufactured one. Since you seem to object to my assumption that God is not a deceiver, I even included one that could be tested even with a deceitful god. This isn't a case of the question not being answered, but you refusing to address the answer.

Why don't you just feign yourself mad, scrabble on the doors, and let the spittle fall on your beard like King Da...
Oh, wait!
Youre trying to convince YOURSELF you're delusional, aren't you?
Well for the record, God created the earth ex nihilo about 4004 BC, and there's no physical evidence to substantiate it.I'm less interested in convincing people of anything, and much more interested in understanding what is true.
I think this is probably the main difference between the two of us.
Because none was generated, as this thread demonstrates.Why would God choose not to leave any physical evidence of this?
You mean like Heaven or Hell?AdamSK said:And why would God want us to believe something for which there is no physical evidence?
Good answer -- thanks.Either they are asking creation scientists or they do not realize that you are speaking from a faith perspective.
This thread demonstrates that a god who doesn't want to be believed can do things for which a rational person will find alternative explanations. I don't think anybody has disputed that a trickster god could make his existence impossible to verify. But the Biblical God, the one I worship, is not a trickster.Because none was generated, as this thread demonstrates.
Good answer -- thanks.
Creation science is a contradiction in terms.
And still refusing to discuss it.Okay ... Whatever.
Except for the methods you are ignoring like checking serial numbers.Because none was generated, as this thread demonstrates.
No argument there.Indeed -- its only purpose is to distract people from the fact that evolution is the only scientific explanation for the diversity of life on Earth.
The "origin of the device" is the first word of this challenge.And still refusing to discuss it.
Let me ask again, why would checking the serial numbers not be a way to support the origin of the device as I suggested?
Serial numbers are not evidence of creatio ex nihilo.Except for the methods you are ignoring like checking serial numbers.
No argument there.
Unless panspermia works too.
(On paper, of course.)
The "origin of the device" is the first word of this challenge.
