Not Just Creationists
This video is making the rounds on atheist blogs all over the blogofractal.
It’s meant to be funny, and of course it is. And yet, like a person with PTSD I find myself almost hating it because it gets it too perfect. I’ve wasted hours, even days in these kinds of circular arguments, where any point that I effectively rebut is dropped only to be restated later as though it were never addressed.
And it’s not just creationists for whom this problem exists. Anti-Vaxxers, AGW Deniers, Cdesign Proponentsists, Moon Hoaxers, 911 Truthers, UFOlogists, and pretty much any Conspiracy Theorists have this penchant for continually stating and restating their talking points without ever acknowledging that any attempt at rebuttal was ever even made.
Here’s a philosophical question for you. If you present evidence and I never look at it, does it actually exist?
“Here’s a philosophical question for you. If you present evidence and I never look at it, does it actually exist?”
I’ll bite: Since your snobbish, intellectually elitist question is premised on ‘looking’ at evidence, we need to establish that it requires the use of one God’s greatest instruments (a considerably complex marvel that was obviously made in an instant). Processing information with His instrument should be restricted to evidence He has laid before us in the Holy Scriptures. To use the eye to look at “evidence” that runs contrary to His Holy Word would be an abomination (heresy?). Therefore it matters not what evidence the Flesh purports to present, which renders the question moot. You need to study the Scriptures and quit vexing your brain over meaningless tripe such as science.
Tongue firmly in cheek,
