sambhava: Dawkins and his genre appeal to those who delude themselves that the hidden truth of this life - or rather, the "non-existence of it" - can be verified through the power of their own academically fixated intellects. And that's why their books become bestsellers - because people ARE deluded into thinking that the scientific mind CAN actually verify the non-existence of any such hidden truth. But they haven't got a cat in hell's chance of succeeding! THAT truth is revealed "unto babes" and NOT the likes of Dawkins and company!
One can't prove a negative, so one can't prove "non-existence" of anything.
No offense, but if I had kids I wouldn't let them within fifty feet of you norslyman. It takes a lot for me to say mean things like that and I can't believe I am, but after reading that "Evolution Says Indians Deserved Death" thread I have absolutely no respect for you, even if you were trying to "slam evolution". How could you possibly think that was at ALL ok to throw out there? I hope nobody ever lets you live that down norslyman. I'm always very patient and calm with people, but not today.
