Re: evidence and double standards
Now isn't it amazing. I tell you that nobody made a simple toy like that (solar system model) and you don't believe me. Yet you gaze out into the solar System - the intricate marvelous machine that is around you - and you dare say to me that no one made that. I don't believe it'. -Sir Isaac Newton
​
Tal - Can you provide the source for this quote you use. Newton was quite religious, so it is quite possibly a true reflection of his beliefs, but I cannot find a source.
​
Also, dont you feel it is a little disengenuous to use this. Basically, you are trying to use this to imply that if a great scientist believed in a god then therefore other people should or something to that effect. You are using Newton as your validation.
​
I am sure I can dig up a quote from a famous scientist attempting to debunk germ theory. Just because someone fmous says it doesnt make it so. Newton was stating his beliefs not scientific fact.

Re: evidence and double standardsTh
As I figured.
​
Tal - If you can't provide an original source for this Newton quote, don't you think it would be right to not use it as your signature?

Re: Bump for Josephus expert.
Tal -
Any chance you will give us a source for this bizarre claim of yours?
