Why do religious people make claims and then refuse to back them up?

by Viviane in

several times over the past few months i have had conversations, both here and in real life, with religious people making all sorts of interesting and conflicting claims.

i like to know how things work, so generally i will ask questions to net out what i am being told and see if it can be explained and make sense.. for instance, if someone said 2+2=4 and i asked how, there are a variety of ways that could be shown to me, a number line, physical objects being put together, counting on fingers and toes, etc.

indeed, in my personal life, i often have to explain how certain technologies work, sometimes planned, sometimes off the cuff, from a variety of group sizes to a varying degree of technical expertise.

Ok you're nitpicking again on a tangent and you don't seem the least interested in the core of the comment; I take a rest, because I don't want to engage in this sort of exercise again that only serves to derail threads and tire me out. It's your thread....and I'm out.

Edit the title of thread or delete

by paulmolark in

is there anyway to perform either of the two options listed above.

i created a post with a title that is confusing and would like to correct it.

is this possible for myself or an admin to perform?

EdenOne

Simon, at least on iPad, I can't go back and correct the title of a thread, even one minute after I post it. Happened to me recently too. Try as I did, the "edit" near the title wouldn't work.

A common reason why many creationists conflate evolution with abiogenesis is actually understandable - albeit inaccurate - because the latter is conceptually the logical corolary of the first, even if there's no proof of that hypothesis. Many non-believers rely on that assumption, anyway.

better now?
