You cant logically explain such a thing as the existence of God for example. People have been trying for centuries to no avail.

That's a good hint.

Have you not read Descartes/Augustine?  If you have, can you give your counter arguments to each of their proofs, please?  


Anyway, I'd like to officially give this thread 2 awards:
1) Longest thread ever
2) The worst ratio of posts:new information ever in any thread.

Ah two excellent comments.  It is good to see some recognition for all the new information packed in each post.  However I doubt that the average new information per post is the highest among all topics on all forums.

No, I'd say new information:posts is lowest of any thread on the forum.  Since about page 3 there't barely been any, in fact.

Make up your mind  First you say posts:newinfo is lowest ever, now you say newinfo:posts is lowest ever!

I'm no good at rations, which is why I said "worst" and not "lowest"

I can see how eating a good meal can be confusing.

hahaha, this thread is getting worse and worse.  Rations confuse me, ratios confuse me, and good meals are just good meals.  

I don't think the ratio of new information is *that* low per post. It's low per byte, but most threads actually do have many posts that don't add any information at all.

Well, this post has about 17*15 posts, which is ... a lot.  255, in fact.  There's new information in maybe 50 of them.  That's only 1/5, which isn't that great.

Actually yes and as soon as I have a few spare minuts I'd gladly give the counter-arguments to their points.

Sure, I'll be waiting.  And don't forget to list the main poitns in the proof, too,since it's been 3 years since I've studied them and I'm sure most of us here don't know them.  

Yea, I'm taking AP Philosophy and I have a bunch of good notes on the basics I can give for people to get semi-up to speed.

I like burritos. I dont like the kind from Taco Bell; I'm talking about the frozen burritos that you heat up in the microwave. They are so good.

Did you go through those 50? What qualifies as "new information" ?
