  1. He seems pretty certain & is certainly on firm ground as far as his epistemology is concerned?

  2.  @shaynelhta  So let's look at what we would have had if we'd stayed with the biblical account. A flat snowdome Earth covered by a crystal filament with windows to let the rain in, positioned in the centre of the universe & created 6500 years ago. Galileo was under threat of death from the church for going against this religious maxim. A book that tells us everything alive today came off a boat 4500 years ago.... We then get into the really credible stuff that your flavour of one of many conflicting & competing deities celebrates & instructs us on the owning & beating of slaves & sets up a doctrine that even TODAY leads to people in Africa being dragged into the streets to be doused in petrol & have tyres put round them & set on fire for the sin of being born with an alternate sexual orientation? A condition that is ubiquitous in the natural world we are part of? Every single scientific claim the bible makes it gets catastrophically wrong - To get a stripy calf you show it's mating parents a stripey stick! - Get out of here! Thankfully people have moved on from this Bronze age woo & are much better for it. It is only in primitive parts of the world like Africa, the Middle East & parts of America that people still cling on to it!

  3.  @shaynelhta  We can't cure cancer either but only just over 10,000 years ago we were still running around sniffing each others backsides. Science put us on the moon, cured & understood many diseases, gave us passenger aircraft that could cross the Atlantic in under 3 hours & provided you with the very forum you are using now! Most the big ones we have got in our pocket like Evolutionary Theory which would stand on the fossil evidence alone but is now backed up by another secular breakthrough in DNA. So outside of standing around throwing indiviual grains of sand at the mountains of empirical secular science we have in our pocket, what are you bringing to this party?

  8. You can trace the ancestry or Evolution of that car back & you know what? It comes from a country of people where belief in fuzzy feelings and mythological woo is down to under 8% thankfully! Spend less time with your head in the Bumper Book of Nonsense and more in scientific textbook that way you won't make yourself look like the asshole you have done already!

  12.  @vasilymartin4051  That is called one BIG argument from incredulity! Follow the evidence! There has been a large and impressive caseload of files that now have SOLVED on them and in none of those cases do we see SOLVED BY GOD!
