Scientific theories don’t have to be observed.
Dinosaures
Why would someone’s death that is on record need scientific backing?
There is no evidence that will convince you, but the existence of toys is evidence to those who already believe.
Once you meet me, you would know someone claiming to be me exist.
If the man holding the knife in the picture were the one accused of murder, that would prove a lot more than hearsay
To me it would. Obviously nothing would for you; but most reasonable people would at least consider you have no problem with Buddhism judging from the photo
What makes you think the people of Germany at that time believed morality was subjective rather than objective?
Since He was God, the moral lawgiver of the universe, anything He taught and commanded morally are moral laws of the universe.
Yes, it is partially based on faith, but also since there is strong evidence that points to the gospels being written close to the place and time that He lived by people that knew Him personally. Also, there are independent extrabiblical sources that match many of the things written by the gospel writers confirming what they wrote.
If you have evil thoughts and agree with your own evil thoughts, that is immoral. Such as if you think about killing somebody and agree with yourself that you should kill that person and they are innocent of anything deserving of capital punishment then that is an evil reaction to those thoughts.
How do you know Jesus was God? Remember, he never wrote anything down. the only thing you know about Jesus is what other people claimed he said and did. How do you know they weren’t lying?
Again; how do you know the men who wrote the gospels weren't lying concerning many of their claims of Jesus?
A quick look at moral issues such as homosexuality, interracial relationships, women's rights (such as preaching) and others, you will see the moral teachings of many Christian churches and denominations are different today than they were 50 - 75 years ago.
I’m not saying all the toys with the labels of Mattel, fisher price, or Tyco are made by santa, just some of them. Have you traced every single toy with those labels back to the Manufacturer? No because if you did you would see some of them weren’t made by those companies, they were made by santa.
Evil thoughts by whose standards? Mine? Yours? Someone else's?
Who decides if they are innocent of anything deserving capital punishment? You? me? someone else?
No, you misunderstood my argument. I didn't say that I could determine there is no Santa, only that I could determine that toys were not made by Santa.
We know black swans exist. So your point is?
True but the more that aspects of the theory HAVE been empirically observed the stronger and more likely the theory is to be correct.
The existence of dinosaurs was not a one time event. There were millions of dinosaurs and thousands became fossilized.
Someone claiming to be you doesn't prove that it really is you. Again, you could have paid someone to pretend to be you.
Ummm now you are contradicting yourself, accusations ARE testimonial evidence. But yes, combined with the photo it is strong evidence but that was my point. YOU are the one that wants me to believe that Hitler was devout Catholic ONLY based on pictures with no testimonial evidence. That would be a big mistake.
Yeah millions of dinosaurs, but they all happened around the same time period. Perhaps the reason there is no scientific evidence for what you are looking for is because whatever it is you are looking for has never happened.
So science has not studied the death of Caesar. What's your point?
True. And the existence of the Universe just confirms the Universe exists! It doesn't prove God or anyone else created it!
True! I probably couldn't prove my existence to your satisfaction
I am the one providing the testimonial evidence! I made the claim, and I provided pictures to support my claim.
Maybe but it definitely would not prove that I was Buddhist, which is what you are trying to do with Hitler.
Because as I stated we know what most of their religious beliefs and philosophies were at the time.
Again, see above. Though I have never claimed I could PROVE that they didn't lie. Though widespread fictional novels were not invented until the middle ages.
Our Creator's standards.
A judge and/or jury.
Again see above. And given the characteristics of black swans and Santa, the probability that Santa made toys is much lower than that black swans exist even before they were discovered.
There are countless people today that believe in moral absolutes. That doesn’t mean they only tell the truth! You jokin’ right???
I challenge you to list a single credible non religious independent source that claims Jesus was God.
These men who knew Jesus, have you read anything they wrote? If not, how do you know they didn’t accuse them of being liars?
No; when a church leader teaches (for example) that Homosexuality is an abomination against God, he is making that is a moral issue
IN THEORY that could be done. But it never was, because if it were, they would see those that were made in the North Pole[/quote]
I was just refuting YOUR claim that Hitler and the Nazi's rejected Christianity.
But the subjective vs objective morality was not even a philosophical argument back then; so you have no way of knowing what they believed.
My point is that generally science cannot prove one time past events. That is why we dont have scientific evidence for all the events in the bible.
Why?
If the entire Earth were at one time covered with water, how do you know science would not be able to see evidence of such an event?
How do you know the Universe was created?
