Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

When either one of you understands what the burden of proof relative to a claim and the definition of evidence is, our luck will change.
Ok

So you are claiming (or implying) that I don’t understand the concept of evidence.

So the way I understand it, and given that you are the one who is making a positive claim …….. you have the burden proof……… right?...........So íll wait for you to support your claim.


that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Good, to know………. So if you don’t mind I will dismiss your claim untill you support it.



BTW
Here is my cliam:

You will not support your assertion within the next 24 hours you will ether ignore the request, avoid the challenge or find a stupid excuse for not answering………………I have no problem is accepting the burden proof.

Give me a few seconds…….I will travel to the future with my time machine, …

Ok I am back in the present…………I looked in to the future and proved that my claim is correct

Can you quote anywhere where I have used the term “evidence” or burden proof incorrectly? ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, NO ………..so how do you know that I don’t understand those concepts?
Two different questions, did you hit the side of the barn or did you hit the target.

Well maybe that goes to the point, the term evidence generally refers to that which both sides have reason to understand due to prior experience.
Revelation that is only known by one is by definition not evidence.
For simplicities sake, your evidence is that which we both can confirm and which you can also convince me logically that your interpretation is rational. I can then take the rest of my knowledge in hand and determine whether I accept it.
Your type of evidence doesn't work except in the minds of believers that believe magic of nature did it. Bye again.

Yes we have learned, no matter how much evidence we supply, you cannot see it. That we do it less frequently is in response to learning as unrewarded behaviours decrease over time.
It's very fishy. Your reluctance to do anything but insult pleases some fish.

No pudding, no proof. Pictures of a pudding doesn't mean it's pudding. Hey! Have a good one. Along with fishy stuff.
So are you saying that you were lying? That is what it seems like. Everyone that understands the sciences at all knows that there is massive evidence for evolution so you could not be supporting your silly claim with that sort of statement.

Can your prove your claim about "conjecture". Sometimes I wonder if English is your first language since you seem to have trouble understanding some very basic ideas.

Sounds like...seems like...the onus is on you. Take care.

I used to grant that, but then I “learned atheists dishonest tactics” and decided to apply them …….in this case the tactic that I learned was to “change definitions” instead of addressing your actual point
In all honesty, the hyper evangelical atheists in this very forum don't even spend a few minutes to do the research on definitions in the beginning. In my opinion, after making a false definition based on colloquial verbiage they don't like to go back and stand corrected. So there is a necessity to stay with it out of pride. It's not that they necessarily change definitions right at the beginning. Most of the missionaries are simply unaware.

Examples please, especially in terms of your questioning colloquial verbiage which is generally allowed until it becomes obvious that the poster really doesn't understand. Misunderstandings of colloquial verbiage are a major source of misunderstandings though the dichotomy does not appear to be Christian-atheist but a subset of Christians.

No, you still have not justified your claim. I need to remind you at this time that you to date have refused to learn what is and what is not scientific evidence even though I have offered to go over the concept with you many times over.

And I am still confused. A literal reading of your posts looks as if at the start that you were admitting to lying. You never clarified that.
