286. Why is it hard to understand that the metaphysical rules of proof are
Edited on Thu Oct-13-05 10:37 AM by papau
not the scientific ones.

Why is the concept of faith hard to understand?

Why is the fact that attempts to define God on the scientific playing field will not be accepted as rational by any theist?

Why is it hard to understand that if we are not on a scientific playing field (and metaphysics is not scientific by definition), not having to prove a negative is just a BULL SHIT attempt at trying to put us back on that scientific playing field.

Why is it hard to understand that logic says that if you believe in something but have no scientific proof others are free to say you have faith.

Why is it then hard to accept that atheists are part of the people of faith?
