"I mean I could show you the films and images of H-Bomb burst events, including air, water, and ground bursts events, then take you to the sites. All the physical evidence left of those events would be several large holes and craters (where it was a ground burst), some fused silicon, and some residual radiation. Those are all less than 50yrs old."

Look, I already said I believe that the Civil war and the Holocaust happened. I have said it would be crazy to believe otherwise, given the preponderance of evidence for both. What I said it was not possible to prove they happened, in the way that mathematical proofs are made. That is the kind of proof that creationists want for evolution. No other scientific theory is required to have that kind of certainty. Yet when it comes to Creationist stories, they bristle when any kind of evidence is requested. That's hypocrisy.


"With your goofy Civil War and Holocaust analogies, maybe they never happened."

Since I already said I believe they DID happen, why must you make things up?

I haven't. You have not presented one shred of positive physical proof the Resurrection happened. I am still waiting. I would think you would have no trouble laying your cards on the table.

Yes you already said you believe Civil War and Holocaust happened. I was not referring to that, but the analogy referenced. It was the linkage you and these others with these analogies make to evolution that is a great overreach.

Now my analogy (and maybe you think it is goofy) is about events. The evidence for events like the H-Bomb events (for argument sake take out the ground bursts), or even physical phenomena can be very ephemeral, gone in a hundred years. I could present something that seemed evidence to me of that event and you might reject it.

The evidence we have in the physical world, perhaps you see evolution, I see evidence of something much more wonderful.

You have not presented one shred of positive physical proof the Resurrection happened. I am still waiting.

Like I said about your demand for evidence of this event. One minute you said it is a moot point (to Diamond) because you have not received anything, the next minute you refuse to define what that something might be for you.

So there is a dichotomy in evidence, and what CarolinaGuitarman accepts as evidence for this event. If somehow I brought an image burned in stone you would insist an enterprising roman learned how to chemical etch or such ;)

So the issue of whether RunningWolf has positive physical proof that the Resurrection happened (that CarolinaGuitarman accepts) is contained within the threads this forum.
