No. I've been too busy. Hopefully soon. :phew:

I've only ever seen him speaking with other Christians. Echo chambers make people stupid.

Are you referring to apologetics or just general conversation?

Then why is he only talking with people that agree with him?

I sound nothing like him. He's accepted a supernatural world view because that's what he wants to believe. He mentions the objections that he had as a naturalist, and maybe those sound like something I'd say, but he isn't a naturalist anymore.

They are claims of supernatural events. The distinction is important if we are taking this seriously. Explain to me how you determined that the supernatural claims made in the Bible are true and those in other holy books are false. I've served on a jury as well. At no point were we asked to...

But that doesn't happen. No, they don't. How do you evaluate a supernatural claim to determine if it's true or false? It isn't. It's a claim that something happened, but it's not evidence that something actually did happen. This distinction is important.

Yes. But I think it's unlikely to be true due to lack of evidence for the supernatural. Why is that reason enough? Do you entertain the idea that the Islamic prophet Muhammad flew to heaven on a winged horse? We have claims made in the bible that Jesus was resurrected. But where are the Roman...

I didn't say it wasn't true. I said it can't be proven, and because it's a supernatural claim among a sea of supernatural claims, both inside and outside of Christianity, there's no reason to entertain it.

Let's go with that one then.

Why do you answer a question with a question? I ask you something and you dodge.

Again, how do we evaluate a supernatural claim? There has to be a way for you to determine what's true and what's false. Otherwise you're living in a subjective reality of your own making.

They are evidence in so far as someone wrote something down. But they are not evidence that what is written down is true.

Even if that were true, there is no way to evaluate it because the person making tuner claim has been dead for thousands of years and there's no physical evidence that the event ever occurred. Okay. Then explain to me how we evaluate it. How do we determine if it's true or false? Empires tend...

Neither of which prove that any of the supernatural events recorded in the bible are true. Eyewitness testimony and hearsay are not evidence of the supernatural. No. Because empires leave evidence behind of their existence. More importantly, empires are a natural phenomenon; they are not...

That's what they said about ghosts for hundreds of years. Now that everyone has a smartphone with a built in camera, combined with a lack of evidence, most people realize that ghosts were never real. If they were, we would have overwhelming evidence given that there are billions of smartphones...

He says this because there is no evidence.

Sums up your posts perfectly. :gd

I don't really have any favorites yet. I only own four books and while I enjoyed reading them, I don't know if I'd call them favorites. I need more experience. :confused I've played the games, but I didn't even know there were books. I'll look into those, thanks. :gd
