Bible Note: "I don't believe everything I hear, I need proof. I can prove that Abe Linclon lived." You can? "How since I wasn't there. Simple: Democrate and Republicians at the time both agreed that he lived." How do you know? Records can be forged. "Historians of all political groups of the time agreed." How do you know our historical records are accurate and haven't been tampered with? "I can go to where he is buried and do a DNA test." You have a sample of Honest Abe's DNA?!? "Can I do this with God or Jesus?" Nope. Listen: while arguments against the existence of Abraham Lincoln are pretty ridiculous, they are not ridiculous because anyone alive today can PROVE his existence. However, the evidence of his existence is overwhelming. Unless someone has obstinately pre-supposed that Lincoln couldn't have existed, the most plausible conclusion based on the evidence is that he did. Ultimately, however, we put our trust (i.e. faith) in the reliability of the evidence, despite the fact that I have never laid eyes on him. Nothing is 100 percent provable. Now to God. No one alive has seen God. The question is, however, what does the evidence of nature (both physical nature and human nature) show to someone who hasn't already pre-supposed that no gods exist? --Joe! |
