I'm not sure I'd recommend the whole of the "God Delusion" to everyone, but the chapter where he discusses that scale and betrand russell's Celestial Teapot is well worth reading (it's a teapot orbiting around one of the planets in our solar system. You can't see it, but does that mean it's not there? What if there were loads of ancient documents saying it was there? Would you believe it then?) Very similar to your point about 7 on the scale.<br><br>As Dawkins says, just because we can't categorically say something doesn't exist, doesn't make the odds that it does 50:50.swisslethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16708248700851998044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-44578893022464922062009-09-30T11:28:52.533+01:002009-09-30T11:28:52.533+01:00"That's certainly true, but am I alone in...<i>"That's certainly true, but am I alone in thinking that Google has probably provided more actual answers over the years than prayer?"</i><br><br>Maybe not, but the jury's out on the answer. Google's been around for, what, ten years? People have been praying for thousands. Billions of people have some form of faith. Many find "answers" in any form of contemplation, of which prayer is but one example.<br><br>Anyway, that's probably nit-picking. I like that scale. I'm a definite 6. I don't think 7 is logically/philosophically possible. You can't prove a negative, all you can do is amass evidence to demonstrate that something hasn't yet conclusively manifested itself.Hghttp://hydragenic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750120863647373520.post-91163443083702267472009-09-30T03:53:10.237+01:002009-09-30T03:53:10.237+01:00Party on dudes!DesParty on dudes!<br><br>DesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
