Then show some evidence and then I won't be ignorant of it. As always at this point, I will say that personal credulity, as in the God of the Gaps Argument I saw from you recently, and the hearsay claims of scripture, are not really evidence.
Things don't cease to exist simply you can't see them. Many people learned that as infants. Peekaboo!
Unfortunately, we are no longer children and adults require more than that to prove a positive. Not everything which might exist necessarily does. The deliberate supernatural for instance, favoured by primitive societies as the only explanation for the unknown.
I think there should be a law against the lie that there is no evidence.
Feel free to disprove that lie at any time. Naturally if there was a law (and inevitably it came to court) you would need to show some controverting evidence. Remember what happened at the Dover trial? I do.
I'll get to work on that.
Perhaps you can draft the new legislation after you submit your patented appeal against the aforementioned landmark decision?
I will need to consider the freedom of speech issue. I might not be able to stop the lies everywhere, but I might prevent them being taught in schools.
Do you mean the 'lies' of evolutionary theory taught in public schools? You will need to prove such as false claims first with evidence to show. Will that still be a problem?
