You have to first get me to make a bonehead statement and then point it out. It doesn't work if I don't make a mistake.... Your turn. :)

This statement strikes me as so baseless that — in the words of Wolfgang Pauli (of Pauli Exclusion Principle fame) — it's "not even false."

You claim never to make a "'bone-headed statement," never a mistake? Where on earth do you get this confidence from, if you do not recognize a criterion of truth outside of yourself?

For that reason, I find all your statements "bone-headed!"

What now???

You don't have to give me the history on the exclusion principle. But I will give you an A on that reply. It was very good : )

On the contrary, I am constantly making mistakes. I used to have a placard on my desk. "Make my day, prove me wrong." It isn't what I don't know that worries me it is what I think is right, but is really wrong that worries me. To paraphrase someone.

For that reason, I find all your statements "bone-headed!"

Then you will be thrilled to know that I consider evidence outside of myself to be the criterion of truth.

Now back to you Betty, do you have any evidence outside of yourself, to back up your belief in God?

What now???

I await your evidence, outside of yourself. Now do you see how this is played? Simple really.
