Re: Challenge
Kbertsche, for the purpose of this thread I would like to assume we are only talking about subjective evidence. Many people on this board and in the real world rely solely on subjective evidence and I believe if the objective evidence can be firmly disproved, then its best to have a thread prepared for when people start falling back on faith. People seem to use it as a debate stopper. "Oh, all my arguments for a young earth have been disproven, well I still have my faith that there is a young earth"
Edit: Even if the objective evidence has not been disproven, evidence should be able to stand on its own. If one piece of evidence for a concept relies on another piece of evidence for the same concept, then in reality you would only have 1 piece of evidence because if one falls the other would go down with it.
Edited by themasterdebator, : No reason given.
