Excuse me while i whip this out!!!

better than the movie!

One of my favorite songs...

Lovely... So many years ago and still beautiful!

Have you seen the Axanar trailer?

I got you mixed up with dimreeper, my apologies...

I hold no belief at all, you seem to be suggesting that some sort of belief is necessary... I am an apistevist, evidence is necessary for me to consider the veracity of anything...

And that choice would be?

My choice? Do you suggest there is another choice?

Ok, you are the first person to explain it in that manner but it seems reasonable as long as i don't have to assume they do exist until I prove other wise...

That would mean that it is assumed not to exist would it not? In the face of a lack of evidence that bigfoot exists the null result is that bigfoot cannot be said to exist..

The point is that in the face of a lack of evidence, and by evidence i am talking about methodological naturalism, the scientific stance is that what ever is lacking evidence does not exist...

The null hypothesis is that it is not true...

Ewww!

I honestly have no idea if it is anything but a joke, I thought it was funny, my rude sense of humor I guess... I'd be afraid that chimp would go to my ass over that...

still funny! as is arc's question...

You can claim that no scientific evidence exists to suggest it is true, therefore the null hypothesis comes into play..,.

Do you seriously think that because it cannot be proven that there was no divine intervention we have to consider there was some? Do we have to prove there is no bigfoot before we can assume there are none? Do we have to consider fairies to be real until we can prove there are none?

I can prove that the abrahamic gods do not exist... either that or they lie, take your pick... The religious leaders need to convince there followers that their beliefs are being persecuted and science is an easy mark since science negates the holy books of all mainstream religions...
