1.) We aren’t absolutely certain how the Egyptian pyramids were built, therefore they MUST have been built by aliens from space.
2.) If a door suddenly slams shut in the middle of the night in your apartment and you don’t immediately see anyone around who could have slammed it, it MUST have been a ghost.
3.) If a tornado kills hundreds of people during a terrible storm, it MUST have been because God hates gays.
4.) When your favorite team wins the Super Bowl, it MUST be because God loves them more than the other team.
5.) God IS the creator of the multiverse because no one can prove she’s not.
6.) Aliens are, nightly, abducting people into their ships and fondling their genitals. And one can prove they’re not.
7.) There is no God but Allah, and no one can definitively prove otherwise.
8.) Jesus is God, the only god, and part of a trilogy of gods who are, in fact, only one god, even though there are three of them, and there’s not a single person alive who can prove with 100% certainty that this is not true.
9.) It is a fact that there are hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of gods, as the Hindus believe, and not even Steven Hawking, with Einstein’s help, could have shown, without ANY doubt whatsoever, that this is NOT absolutely true.
10.) Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama are running a very secret, no one knows about it, not really, child prostitution ring out of a pizza parlor with the help of the CIA, the FBI, the NAACP, and the ACLU, and there’s no one, no group, and no organization that can ABSOLUTELY show that this very secret, almost unknown activity, is in fact, NOT really happening.
#4 is the only one worth bothering about as everyone knows God is a sports fan.

They’re supposedly remaking the movie of that. The guy who did Blade Runner 2049 is doing it. He’s a great choice.

Yes, they are remaking Dune. Director Denis Villeneuve is a great choice. However, with Blade Runner 2049 box office disappointment, I don’t know how it will stay true to the book and will the fans hate it? or wonder if its a giant risk? Who knows. I’m nervous about the movie, so hopefully this director guy can bring some justice from the disaster of David Lynch back in the 80’s.

Let us hope the future of Dune does not disappoint fans of what Hollywood could bring to the table. It better deliver and I know the trailer promotions would resemble Star wars but for adults. Because that’s what ‘Dune’ is.

Could be. There are people who would pay the aliens handsomely for this service. And aliens need to relax and unwind after the hard work of building the pyramids.

I never heard that argument but I made it the other way by answering I din’t know I was’t there- implying that they were not there either. I got no response because there is no response.
But back to your post, why would they think that question helps their argument any more than yours since neither of you were there?

I know. It’s really faulty thinking. But I’ve come across it a lot. I saw you mention somewhere that you were a lawyer. I’ve a strong feeling the “You can’t prove I did it or didn’t do it because you weren’t there” argument wouldn’t stand up well in a court of law. But, who knows. The way things are going nowadays, perhaps it’s what we can one day look forward to as a legal precedent. 🙂

Somebody had to be there or there has to be some very believable circumstantial evidence. Circumstantial evidence is much better than eye witness. And all witnesses have some false memories, or just lie. It is not a totally reliable process.

Another good argument is the “Were you there” argument. “How do you know Jesus didn’t really return from the dead. Were you there?” I always say, “Yes I was,” and if they say, “That’s impossible,” I say, “How do you know. Were you there?”
