MacOne;708727 said:That means I can accuse you of being gay and you cant refute it
So youre gay.
shootemwon;708773 said:Burden of proof is on you, otherwise this whole forum is gay because everyone gets called a homo on the IC at some point or another.
MacOne;708778 said:Yeah but I disagree you cant prove a negative, so according to my philosophy i can prove it
But according to your philosophy you might be gay :wrist:

shootemwon;708599 said:I'm not sure how you apply the logic of this thread to the fallibility of the Bible. The main point of this thread is that you cannot logically prove anything to be non-existent in the universe. Basic logic and reasoning can always cast doubts on attempts to concretely prove something does not exist or did not happen. This is why, in criminal trials, the defendant is found "Guilty" or "Not Guilty", but cannot be found "Innocent". "Not Guilty" means not proven guilty, but no one can be proven innocent because it would be impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you didn't commit any crime.
With that said, you're switching over to a discussion of the Bible being flawed, but your reasoning doesn't make sense. You're claiming because it was written by man, and not God, it is definitely flawed because man cannot write an infallible book. Your premise is based on the teachings of the Bible, though. While we understand, from a biological and medical approach, that no man is omnipotent, the assertion that no man can write a Holy Book without flaws in it is 1) an idea you got from Biblical teachings and 2) dependent upon a universal standards for what is correct and what is a flaw. In other word's a standard set by God. Come to think of it, it's further dependent upon believing in the existence of an infallible God, because otherwise the "flaws" that are in the Bible are a moot point because it's all fiction anyway. That would be like reading Harry Potter and saying "I don't think this is a completely accurate account of what happened".
