You:
"... but i believe that the bible is the word of the living God and it says in genesis that he created the heavens and the earth and he did it in 6 days. and i can't prove my point to you in debate if you do not believe that the bible is God's word. my biggest problem with evolution is i do not see it. i feel God i talk to him and he speaks to me. i pray and he answers. i know he is real.. i do not see evolution even with my eyes. i see exactly the oposite.. "
Me:
The trouble is, there are some people out there who sincerely believe that they are the living incarnation of Napoleon, or Genghis Khan, which is why we need to appeal to objective measurement and rationality. Faith by definition requires a suspension of rationality.
How would you go about telling someone who sincerely believed they were Napoleon that they weren't (assuming of course that you don't believe they're Napoleon )?
