Fillings? God spends his time with fillings while children starve and people die from war and disease?

You said it was not a miracles. Prove it.

If someone claims they have been visited by magical unicorns, are we allowed to disagree? Is the burden on us skeptics to prove that such a visitation never happened?If we are not justified in asking for evidence for such a claim, how can we seperate the real from the imagined?

Your childish insistence it is not a miracled based on no evidence at all is indicative of evos in general.

---

Using the above as an example, how can I prove that magical unicorns never visited? Does the fact that I can't prove they didn't, give any credibility to the claim? No, certainly not.

You assert somethign you cannot substantiate and then when called on it, run.

You mean, like the assertion that the news story is a miracle?

I prefer looking for real solutions to these problems.

All randman said in his OP was, "MIracles still happen today."I read that as a statement of fact. It may only be his belief, but I read it as him presenting that belief as a fact. If I made an error in evaluating that, I apologize.

If someone says 'Unicorns still visit us', I would take that as being a statement of belief, not a scientific claim. If someone retorts "No, they do not", that is an absolute statement. To make an absolute statement, one needs to be absolutely sure.

---

I think such a statement could be interpreted either way, but point taken.I agree that absolute statements should be avoided when possible. I didn't mean to imply that one was warranted, but merely that the claim doesn't gain credibility because it can't be proven to be false.

This strikes me as being odd. Am I the only one who read randman's statement as being a statement of belief, not an assertion?

---

Again, I read "miracles still happen today" as randman matter of factly stating that miracles indeed happen today. If I misinterpreted it, I apologize and retract my statement.

I'm aware of the addictive nature of these forums. I lurked for over a year before registering a few weeks ago. Thanks for the welcome. I enjoy your posts and look forward to reading more.
