Well, that could be seen as a 'hasty generalisation' fallacy, but in practice, I agree - if there is in principle no way to support the hypothesis ('supernatural event') - or falsify it - then there is no reason to suppose it is valid (as per Russell - see my sig). That it could be applied to any unexplained event also means it is useless (meaningless?) as an explanation....
So it's impossible to support or deny any supernatural event scientifically.
Strikingly similar to your post then.Well, that could be seen as a 'hasty generalisation' fallacy, but in practice, I agree - if there is in principle no way to support the hypothesis ('supernatural event') - or falsify it - then there is no reason to suppose it is valid (as per Russell - see my sig). That it could be applied to any unexplained event also means it is useless (meaningless?) as an explanation.
It's far more scientific than that. Nothing in science exists without confirmation.
If you claim anything is "supernatural" that means that you would not be able
to re-create the event. If you can't re-create an event then you have no evidence
to support your theory. Anything "supernatural" can only be taken on faith due
to the scientific method that requires reproducible evidence.
It's the scientific process that eliminates the scientific process from consideration.
Wow. Are you doing this on purpose?And a "supernatural event" is unpredictable, by definition.
Agreed, and what I mentioned is not an investigation of the supernatural as such, rather, and investigation of physical evidence following from the supernatural event.The supernatural never has been investigated successfully but that does not
define it as impossible.
More escape clauses.What I was explaining is that we don't know enough details to be able to predict such evidence.
Let me try again. "The whole world was covered with water."
So is that the whole known world for one person? We don't know.
So why claim it is all true?But God did not write one word of the Bible.
It was written by 40 authors.
Each author gives a different perspective inspired by God.
How many of the 40 authors made that claim?So why claim it is all true?
In your imagination, have you documented my foundational beliefs? Seriously?More escape clauses.
Pity that your foundational beliefs can only stand when one makes numerous means by which to avoid any kind of confirmation/falsification.
You cannot predict the results. You can only predict the evidence from natural events.Wow. Are you doing this on purpose?
The evidence that results from the event are what were being predicted, not the event itself.
No, it's just logic. And I addressed your point, on point.Cool how you dutifully failed to even address what I wrote and instead concocted an escape clause.
Bravo.
Laughably amazing escape clause for the literalist!What I was explaining is that we don't know enough details to be able to predict such evidence.
Let me try again. "The whole world was covered with water."
So is that the whole known world for one person? We don't know.
It is so cool how you first tried to avoid the inevitable by totally ignoring what I wrote and replying to the question that you had hoped I'd asked. Or you just can't understand the words used.If you claim anything is "supernatural" that means that you would not be able
to re-create the event.
But as water does flow, it wont cover the highest
hills unless it finds its level everywhere.
Then there is no god. That is my personal experience.You should go by personal experience.

Its the followers that do.. duh...How many of the 40 authors made that claim?
Isn't apologetics amazing?
Trying to defend Genesis by implying that water covering the earth to its highest mountaintop maybe was not the same for all people...
