A very popular statement (got said loads of times in the old crevo debates), but the logic supporting it just isn’t there.
It takes faith to believe in something unseen. The opposite is not true. Unless you can make sense of the statement ‘it takes faith not to believe in something unseen’.
I’d love to know but don’t. I don’t suggest that others cannot know. Makes me a wishy washy agnostic I guess.
Trey Parker of South Park said it best:
“Basically ... out of all the ridiculous religion stories which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous the silliest one I’ve ever heard is, ‘Yeah ... there’s this big giant universe and it’s expanding, it’s all gonna collapse on itself and we’re all just here just ‘cause ... just ‘cause’. That, to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.”
Id love to know but dont. I dont suggest that others cannot know.
Atheists insist that others cannot know. Sounds like an act of faith to me.
