As he seems to be pointing out no matter what evidencie or what events take place, there will be always other explanations rather than God
of course Bango Skank can always correct me if he thinks I am misrepresenting his view.
There could be other explanations. That doesn't mean that nothing will convince me. At minimum i have to be in contact with the source personally aka with being that claims to be God, two way communication with words and interaction. That's the starting point where i can even begin to try to determine if that being is indeed a God. But as i said my capability is very limited, so it would be inconclusive. A being that claims to be God would need to persuade and gain my trust, but of course there is a possibility that it lies to me and has some hidden motive. There would always be a some form of doubt.
that is my point, under your view there will never be conclusive evidence for God.
leroy said:well obviously it depends on the context in which the event takes place,
If I pray and say to God, If you listen please open a draw, and the draw opens, I would certainly attribute that event to God. (wouldn't you?)
Ghosts could be making fun of you. "Oh look, he's asking God to show a miracle, let's have some fun with him."
nobody is denying that possibility, but God would be a better explanation,
leroy said:If this events takes place at 2:00am, I would atribute the event to my imagination or a dream (it is easy to imagine stuff at 2,00am)
Could still be ghosts, you'd just try to rationalize this with natural explanation.
nobody is denying that possibility, but hallucinations would be a better explanation,
leroy said:If the draws open and close in some aggressive way and with evil laughs as an echo, I would atribute the event to Ghosts.
Or it could be Satan or some other supernatural being. Or maybe God is bored and is having some fun at yours expense.
nobody is denying that possibility, but Ghosts would be a better explanation,
.................
If you what me to go in to detail on why those are better explanations I suggest you to open a new thread.
