Christianity: The Presuppositional Foundation of Modern Science

[cnm]

And your proof of that is...?

The absence of evidence they provide.

 

[daveman]

No, I want you to show me their evidence for their beliefs, rather than you expecting me to take their faith as evidence for my faith.

You're right. You're NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer.

 

[cnm]

Okay. Yet you seem to be claiming you're smarter than the brilliant Christians in science.

No, I'm saying faith is not enough for me. Fantasists may differ.

 

[cnm]

You're right. You're NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer.

That's the trouble with needing evidence.

 

[daveman]

The absence of evidence they provide.

So, all these undeniably brilliant people are dumb because they can't provide evidence of their faith to satisfy an atheist.

Why are atheists utterly unable to understand the nature of faith?

 

[daveman]

No, I'm saying faith is not enough for me. Fantasists may differ.

You need to give up an awful lot of science and technology because of the discoveries made by Christians.

 

[cnm]

Why are atheists utterly unable to understand the nature of faith?

It is completely understandable. Belief without evidence.

Fantasy.

 

[cnm]

You need to give up an awful lot of science and technology because of the discoveries made by Christians.

I need give up nothing that has evidence to support it.

 

[daveman]

It is completely understandable. Belief without evidence.

Fantasy.

Wrong. But it's what I expected from you.

 

[daveman]

I need give up nothing that has evidence to support it.

So, those undeniably brilliant Christians are stupid to you.

And you're smarter than they are.

 

[cnm]

It is completely understandable. Belief without evidence.

Fantasy.

Wrong. But it's what I expected from you.

Then why isn't the evidence shown?

 

[cnm]

So, those undeniably brilliant Christians are stupid to you.

And you're smarter than they are.

I can see I can't make my words small enough for you to comprehend understand get.

 

[daveman]

Then why isn't the evidence shown?

Stamping your feet and pouting isn't going to help.

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 

[daveman]

I can see I can't make my words small enough for you to comprehend understand get.

Skip the condescension, kid -- you're no good at it.

 

[cnm]

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Evidence means 'that which can be shown'.

 

[daveman]

Evidence means 'that which can be shown'.

And you demonstrate yet again you don't understand the nature of faith.

Now you will predictably screech NUH UH.

Surprise me. Don't.

 

[cnm]

And you demonstrate yet again you don't understand the nature of faith.

Sure. Believe without being able to show evidence for it. Not exactly rocket science.


Allusion intentional....

 

[cnm]

I love it. Now even faith must be taken on faith.

It can't get better.

 

[daveman]

Sure. Believe without being able to show evidence for it. Not exactly rocket science.


Allusion intentional....

"Surprise me. Don't."

Gasp. You didn't surprise me.

 

[daveman]

I love it. Now even faith must be taken on faith.

It can't get better.

We get it. You don't understand the nature of faith. You don't have to keep proving it.
