1. Actually no. The person who argues for the more surprising, counter-intuitive claim carries the burden of proof. It is up to her to show that she has evidence for their proposition being true. Eg. those who argued that the Earth moves through space clearly bore the burden of proof, i.e. it...

They are facts. "On the times human evolved" was not mentioned in the facts I mentioned, below: - That life appeared on earth more than two billion years ago; - That life forms have changed and diversified over life's history; - That species are related via common descent from one or a...

Once again, the onus is on believers to positively prove the existence of God. Using my good old example: "The flying goat-God Gorgamel is invisible to us and created the universe. There is no evidence to disprove this, so you can't say it's wrong!"

Claim: Evolution is only a theory. It is not a fact. Response: 1. The word "theory," in the context of science, does not imply uncertainty. It means "a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena" [Barnhart 1948]. In the case of the...

Alritey thats more like it! :)

Hmm... technically that wouldn't make sense because 'Lex' simply means laws, so it'd be like saying "Bachelor of Laws Laws" -- (Legum means "of laws")... but who knows lol in the USA in some places they say "Bachelor of Legal Letters" just to account for the extra L

I'll agree with that. Though no-one has proved what he proclaimed is true. Wrong. So far there is no evidence as to whether God exists. Care to provide some? Additionaly, the burden of proof is on believers to show that God exists, not for non-believers to show that God does not exist...

thank god for the founding fathers

The only valid position to take is that of agnosticism. As for the other two, neither one might be right - God might exist but he might be a She who isn't ominpotent or omniscient, or even 'good.'

Claim: The Bible's internal harmony around a central theme testifies to its divine authorship. It is 66 books written over 16 centuries by some 40 different writers of diverse backgrounds, but every part follows the same theme. Response: 1. The Bible's harmony can also be attributed to...

But my one had alliteration :(

I have a firm belief in the flying goat-God Gorgamel. A lot of people say you want concrete evidence that the flying goat-God Gorgamel exists, its almost like you're demanding the flying goat-God Gorgamel to show himself to you! Well think about this, who the living fuck are you to demand...

Mate... that's pretty stupid, assuming her situation. Condoms break. For all you know that's what might have happened. And 'sleeping around'... I can't begin to express how screwed up that logic is...

I'd rather wait a month than have dodgey results

Legum Baccalaureus (meaning Bachelor of Laws) What you do if you want to practice as a lawyer.

Well now your argument seems to be that we can't disprove the existence of God. A shift to agnosticism (as opposed to positively proving the existence of God).

Good, at least you are sounding like an agnostic now

Have you seen the controversial English documentary, "My Foetus?" I highly recommend it. "For the first time on British television, the programme shows an abortion procedure at four weeks of pregnancy, an inspection of aborted foetal remains of a seven-week pregnancy and images of a 10, 11...

Really? As previously mentioned, 1 Chron. 16:30 and Ps. 93:1 state that the Earth is immobile, yet it not only revolves and orbits the sun, but it is also influenced by the gravitational pull of other bodies. ------------------------------------------------------------ Claim: The Bible's...
