Literacy
Once again it seems you feel the need to raise the issue of subjective "evidence" in the context of a discussion about deities.
I'm confused, I thought RAZD made it clear that his discussion about subjective evidence has nothing to do with deities. Wasn't that the purpose of the News Flash that even you yourself quoted?
NEWS FLASH:
RAZD ARGUMENT ON THE VALUE OF SUBJECTIVE EVIDENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DEITIES!!!
.... for more on a logical argument regarding the value of subjective evidence that has nothing to do with deities stay tuned for more of my posts ....
Am I missing something here? Is RAZD telepathically communicating something to you without us, or even himself, being aware of it? If not, what makes you think his 'subjective evidence' talk has anything to do with 'deities'?
It's been made pretty clear that it doesn't.

Re: Made up ≠ Non-existent!
Statistics in general is not relevant.
The subset of statistics known as probability is extremely relevant.
Sorry, but statistics and probability are only meant to describe reality; they do not define it.
What is probable or what is more likely has little bearing on what actually is.

Re: Literacy
Can you tell us what RAZD's current discussion with Bluegenes is about if not deities?
What does their current discussion have to do with whether or not RAZDs comments on 'subjective evidence' were meant to relate to 'deities'?

Re: possibilities and probabilities
Its better to realize that its the positive evidence of the desk being unblocked by a pen that leads us to conclude that there is no pen on the desk.
Isn't this just another way to say: "we have desk" and "we have no evidence of pen"? By combining it all into a single statement, 'evidence of the desk unblocked by a pen', you're just secretly slipping in an 'absence of evidence' claim.
No one disagrees that the desk exists. How does mentioning its existence change matters any? Aren't you still left with what you had before, a desk with no evidence of a pen?

No Contest. No Game. No Fun
Luckily for Straggler he decided to challenge one of the newer fundie believers instead of one of the more long-standing and rational theists.
I suppose it's always easier to pick on the new guy than to actually fight it out with someone your own size.

Re: Man of "Size"......?
Hopefully Chuck will learn something from all of this.
Chuck wanted to turn it into a Great Debate between him and me. You can ask him why he made that decision.
Yes; the little guy is always eager to prove himself. It's up to the bigger man to turn him down.
But Jon anytime you want to Great Debate with me (after the current one) just say so.
Like I said above. No thanks.
Jon
