yep burden of proof lies with the claimer, not the disclaimer. too bad those dumb religious idiots cant seem to get that fact and always scream at the rest of us to disprove it

I think you mixed it up. He's saying if he said god exist it would be his job to prove it, not yours to prove him wrong.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No, he got it right. The burden of proof lies on the claimer; meaning, it is the burden of whoever proposes that something exists to prove that it does.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not necessarily. Sometimes religion is a claim. For example, some people claim that a religious creation myth is a fact. That is something that can be proved or disproved. In other cases, religion is just a philosophy, a code of behavior, or a way of seeing things. In that case, there is no "burden of proof". You can't prove a spiritual philosophy anymore any more than you can prove Transcendentalism or pan-critical rationalism.

You fools, the magical gay centaur does not exist. The universe was always here, and everything that is here today got to so by fuckolution. Fuckolution is where all things fuck each other, biotic and abiotic, and then reproduce and eventually shit happens and they turn into new things. FOOLS.

"Hey, look at all of these million year old fossils we've found that have a few human features with our genes in it!" "THOSE DON'T EXIST." That is basically what you're saying. Ignorance is everywhere.

What resemblance to humans? None. Did you know that none of those "humanoid" fossils were more than 40% complete? And the scientists constructed them based on their own suppositions. They guessed what they should look like, given the flawed radiometric dating method, and constructed them to show a pattern. It's preposterous that those are used as evidence.

I disagree, partially. Yes, you need some basis for your claims, other than your own word *cough* joseph smith *cough*. But, if it lines up with verifiable facts, then yeah, you disprove it. Especially if, like some things, you cannot prove it, even if everybody knows it's true. Example: they cannot prove that smoking causes cancer. It's impossible. Is it known, yes. Is it proven? No way.

They can't prove smoking is related to lung cancer. But it's absolutely certain that it causes lung cancer. Nearly 100%. But it cannot be scientifically proven. Owned.

"Example: they cannot prove that smoking causes cancer. It's impossible. Is it known, yes. Is it proven? No way." You are saying there that cancer is not proven to be caused by smoking. "They can't prove smoking is related to lung cancer. But it's absolutely certain that it causes lung cancer." Then it is PROVEN. You're contradicting yourself, and I'm going to assume your age range is around 12-16, perhaps an average student attending a public school who doesn't realize a damned thing he is saying, attempting to sound intellectual but failing dramatically at presenting a well performed argument. That, or you're trolling.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No, I'm on a phone, so it's annoying to construct logically sound arguments. Research it. They know it's true, but they can't prove it. Why? Because it'd be inhumane to prove it. They'd have to take babies, separate them, and force one group to inhale the smoke, and the other to never be exposed to it. That's seriously messed up. So, they don't have incontrovertible proof that smoking causes lung cancer. But they know it. But it's not proven.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If it is true then it is proven, if it is untrue then it is not proven. If it hasn't been proven then it is not a fact. So far this is a theory, and don't be mistaken. A theory is the highest status for a statement or idea.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Dude are you listening. You don't seem to understand anything. It's not proven; it's not a fact. However, they KNOW, through the overwhelming circumstances supporting it, that it causes lung cancer. However, they cannot PROVE it, for it could be an incredible coincidence. But they think/know that it causes lung cancer.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Then it is a thesis. If it hasn't been proven, I don't blame then for propagandizing it as a fact. Smoking is being highly frowned upon in modern society and adults will do anything in their power to attempt and get us to stop it. Correlation =/= Causation, as it's said.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah. I was right. They know it's causing lung cancer; but it can't be proven.

... Do you understand how cancer works? Cancer cells are mutated normal cells. Smoking kills normal cells in your lungs (this is proven) thus increasing the chance a mutated cell will come along. The same with skin cancer caused by spending too much time in the sun.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Also, you seem incredibly arrogant and smug about your logic. I don't assume you watch QualiaSoup's video on YouTube? If not, start watching them now. You could learn a lot, and perhaps stop being so damn closed-minded by stating such and such as fact, and instead be open-minded by researching the topics you're given. And no, that does not mean clicking on 1-3 websites that say you're correct and you're finished. Try something unbiased. It really helps your education, and your job, and your social life, and your perception of reality.

Not really. Creation.com is a good source. Really, I listened to Kent Hovind's seminar. Do you know him? He's a great evangelist who can explain it all. Unfortunately he's ah overzealous, and is locked up for tax fraud. Says he won't pay the government, for God deserves his money.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Sorta... I couldn't get very scientific about it, but I'll give it a shot. Macroevolltion is when a species changes to a whole new species, or somthing major like a a horse turning into a unicorn. And microevolution is just small changes in the the genes. How'd I do? (keep in mind, I'm 14, and didn't google it)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah that's right. So the scientists give examples of adaptation (finches, squirrels, etc.) and then say that causes macroevolution. Which is stupid. That's like saying because my tv is linked to my stereo every tv is connected to a stereo. You just can't do that. Makes me mad, haha

Yeah, like Noah probably only had one kind of dog on the ark. Then that dog microevolved into the hundreds of breeds we have today. (right?)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah. And probably wolves. Different species cannot breed with each other. Wolves can breed with dogs. They are the same kind. I cannot believe evolutionists think that life came from rocks. I mean really! So what, even if the sludge had all the necessary parts for life. It's still eons away from becoming even the most primitive cell. Sorry for that rant. Evolution is so preposterous.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I concur.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

"I cannot believe evolutionists think that life came from rocks." This is incorrect. You're thinking of abiogenesis, which is the theory that explains how life came to be. Evolution explains how life changed after forming. You entire discussion with Phil is completely unscientific. You guys are just "supposing" about things that you basically make up on the spot without understanding any underlying concepts. Explain how it is rational to be willfully ignorant of the thing you're arguing against. I just don't see how you guys convince yourselves with these underdeveloped ideas.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Okay, first off, evolution isn't a theory without abiogenesis. It isn't. Because without the first life, evolution theory can't start. Creation is an entire theory, because it explains all components, frontwards and backwards. Secondly, I was trying to find out exactly what Phil believed. We don't differ. That wasn't an argument; it didn't have to be scientific. That was and exchange of information. If you wish, we can debate evolution, or abiogenesis, right now. Or start of the universe. I hear Stephen hawking thinks gravity can act upon nothing to create something. That is one smart guy right there. Nothing into something. Makes me laugh every time. So, wanna discuss examples or "proof" of evolution? Archaopteryx? He *definitely* lines up with the evolution time line. Pre-Cambrian explosion? Falsifying fossils? Lying in textbooks? Huh?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Archaeopteryx. My bad.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't know why you don't think that evolution cannot stand as a theory alone, because it already does. And for you second point, you misunderstand my use of the word "argue." I did not mean it in the sense that you were fighting with anyone, I meant it in the sense that you were debating a premise. No one knows how to universe began and anyone who claims to know is trying to sell you something. Stephen Hawking, as brilliant as he is, can only speculate at this point. I don't really want to debate on this site because of the low character limit on comments and general messiness. If you would like to discuss this via email or on a public forum other than this, then I'd be glad to, so long as we can keep level heads. It's your call.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Eh, I'm kind of on the fence with abortion. I am pro-choice, but I still see abortion as a terribly sad procedure and I can definitely sympathize with a lot of pro-lifers on the issue. However it is impossible to make a blanket judgement banning all abortions under any condition and it seems silly to set up a board to decide who should have the right to one. Ultimately, it is up to the mother to make that moral decision. It is not up to the government to establish morality.
