I'm a huge fan of free speech as long as you don't upset me. I see what you're attempting to do. It's a nice thought, but who's to say that you're concept of communicating is any better than what's going on now? Your sensibilities, and what you think you need from an online exchange may very well be...

Well, one would hope that with meta-search crawlers like www.zabasearch.com people like William Schryver, myself, and others who have put their real names onto the Internet remember that the world is a very small place, indeed. If I were a reasonable person, the last thing in the world I'd be doing ...

Hi Jak, I'm simply addressing the statement/idea that one cannot prove a negative. The idea that a negative cannot be proven is fallacious. Negative statements are proven to be true all the time: I don't have any money in my wallet. There is no paper in the printer. Jesus Christ isn't sitting on my ...

Re: Burden of Proof
But, your claim that the “negative just proved” is incorrect. Sorry to challenge you here because we are in most general agreement. You just have science wrong here. JAK We'll probably have to agree to disagree then. However, I'll make my case to anyone that's interested. 1) The burden of proof is ...

Some apologists are still working their way through all of this, and sooner or later will either abandon their former beliefs altogether or will modify and liberalize those beliefs until they'd be almost unrecognizable to mainstream LDS. This can be a long, painful process... Truer words have never...

Because, even in science, you can't prove a negative. That's a lie. The earth is NOT a square. <-This can be proved through the scientific method of observation, data retrieval, and documentation. Negative just proved. Also, a negative is proved until proof is provided. For example, there are NO le...

Re: God Myths vs Information
Fortunately, I'm living in Europe. We are forward by 7-8 hrs in time zone, and two hundred years forward in thinking. I'm sorry, again and again. Don't you mean you live in Eurabia? Eurabian progressivism and self-denial about impending dhimmitude is stunning. Our kettle may be black, but so is you...
