It's a game I'll never understand the appeal of.

I do think he's genuine if still somewhat immature. I can't deny that he's likely a good role model as well. As my friend Guy would say - it's always the fan-club that causes all the trouble.

Little do they know that Billy Graham was a doubter in his later years....heh.

If it happens in any case you not only need to reexamine the god you believe in, but also the priorities in your own life.

Fixed, thanks

I don't think you understand the graphic model properly - it's stating that Knowledge is defined as the things that you believe that are true.

Belief + Truth = Knowledge

Belief - Truth = Belief

Truth - Belief = Ignorance

I just tested it, pretty painless.

I've been surprised by seeing quite a few positive comments from believers. Also quite a good bit of garbage...

*typo in the first sentence - praiser - should be prayer*

I'm having lunch with a pastor this Friday to discuss a Bible Study and nativity scene he is helping to put on at the local public middle school. I'm going to try reason to appeal first...then go from there...I hope it doesn't turn ugly.

"Another way of looking at the problem of induction is that the logic that we use in induction is based upon repeated observations and you cannot arrive at certainty of knowledge despite the number of repeated observations made."

This is more or less the point I was attempting to make. I don't know that my experiences and inductions from those experiences will always lead me to appropriate conclusions because the laws of physics might well change, making my prior knowledge null and void. Perhaps my method wasn't the best, but that is exactly what I was going for.

I intend to use the Qur'an at the next debate in order to show this point.
