What exactly do you think that my "unevidenced assertion, personal belief" is?

It was "I mean the conclusion that gods are products of the human mind rather than real entities."It would be fine if you qualified it as saying "Every claim of a god I have looked at could be explained as a products of the human mind rather than real entities."But as it stands it is no more valid than an assertion that "All swans are white."

Have you ever heard of inductive reasoning?Do you dispute that the only known source of supernatural beings is human imagination?Do you dispute that the tentative and falsifiable theory that ALL supernatural beings are the sourced from human imagination is a strong, falsifiable and positively evidenced conclusion?

Sure, and it would be fine if you qualified it as saying "Every claim of a god I have looked at could be explained as a products of the human mind rather than real entities."But you didn't.The rest is irrelevant.

But you are fine with the other unqualified statements which also rely on inductive reasoning.Please explain why.

You will have to give me an example.

Here is Stragglers list.

I mean conclusions like the conclusion that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old rather than being omphamsitically created last Thursday.

​

I mean conclusions like the conclusion that gravitational effects are caused by space-time curvature rather than immaterial and undetectable gravity gnomes linking masses together.

​

I mean the conclusion that evolution actually took place rather than the notion that fossils and genetic evidence were simply planted by Satan to make us believe ungodly things about the creation of species.

​

I mean the conclusion that gods are products of the human mind rather than real entities.

There is actually evidence that can be used to reach an estimate of the age of the earth, for space-time curvature, and that evolution actually took place.There is NO evidence that all gods are simply products of the human mind rather than real entities.It really is that simple.

Fascinating - but unconnected to the responses you gave Straggler.You criticised Straggler for making an unqualified statement solely because it conflicted with your belief in god.
And you clearly stated that you were happy to accept his other unqualified statements.I have no problem with you being a hypocrite - but I did want to point it out.

Okay, if that makes you happy it makes me happy too.

Again - a nice sentiment, but unconnected to my previous reply.I expect that your dishonest debating technique is closely linked to your hypocrisy.Maybe one day you will have the courage of your convictions and finally face up to the criticism levelled at your remarks.

Okay, if that belief makes you happy, it makes me happy.

I accept your acknowledgement that your criticism of Straggler's examples was both biased and wrong.Next time, please spend a few minutes thinking about what you are posting.
Hopefully this will prevent others having to point out your mistakes and thereby force you in to being disingenuous.

You are of course free to think the content of my posts is biased or wrong if you want.

I am also free to explain how they are biased and wrong - which I did. You are of course free to pretend to be stupid rather than admit your were wrong.
