Challenge for those that believe in billions of years for the age of things. Give anything that is more than 6000 years old. NO ASSUMPTIONS ALLOWED.

Or they claim to know.

Yep, some claim and some know

 

[Subduction Zone]

Yep, some claim and some know

And you have shown yourself to be among those that just claim.

Once again: knowledge is demonstrable. If you can't show it you don't know it.

I like a quote supposedly from Confucius, and it goes [paraphrased]: the more you know, the more you realize you don't know that much".

In the arena of theology, certainty is a weakness.

Those who actually know can show others HOW they know by providing evidence and a valid explanation. As we see religious folks often claim to know their religious beliefs re true, but fail miserably that they are correct.

I know. It’s just the way it is

Trying to show evidence for the supernatural is idiotic

You have so much to learn

Because the idea of the supernatural is idiotic?

You have a lot to learn

It appears to be the other way around. You seem to believe that something supernatural happened to you. Real events are testable. You could tell people what your event was and they could probably explain to you how it may be just a natural event that you misinterpreted.

You can keep believing all science feeds you.

 

[SkepticThinker]

Trying to Show proof for supernatural events is idiotic imo

Hmm. so then how do you know that "supernatural events" take place at all?

 

[Jimmy]

Hmm. so then how do you know that "supernatural events" take place at all?

My best guess would be that the universe tells me.

 

[Subduction Zone]

No, we can test what science "feeds us". It can be confirmed again and again. You just told us that you do not know. You only believe.

Here is another way to think about it. Belief is personal. it is very easy for it to be wrong. Knowledge is public. It is more difficult for it to be wrong.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Or and this appears to be far more likely, you may be just delusional. A person that is delusional will insist that they are right even when the evidence shows them to be wrong.

Did you properly test your beliefs? Wait, better yet, can you tell us how you tested your beliefs?

I’m far from delusional. I don’t usually say this but it is you who are the delusional one unfortunately

Not to talk to people like you

Dude, this ain't Twitter. This is a debate forum.
We don't just throw out random one-liners and snappy quips around here. We actually discuss and debate stuff.
Give it a shot. Contribute something meaningful.

 

[Subduction Zone]

I just told you that I do know. You have much to learn

No, I know that you said that. But earlier I refuted that by claiming that you do not know. The two claims cancel each other out.

You see people can claim anything. And in reality if all you can do is to claim that you know then it is refuted by my claim that you do not. I can at least show you that knowledge is demonstrable.

You could also claim that you are the King of Mars. Why would that be any better or worse than your other claim?

Ok dude. I have dude. I’ve read one liners with more substance than some of the long discussions around here
