    Me: “There is a big pile of gold buried under my house.”

    Real Estate Agent: “That sounds… unlikely?”

    Me: “Well thats’s up yo personal belief more so than anything. We can’t really prove nor disprove deities, so we can’t really argue either side of that debate fully.”

      this, is a bit sad that it always comes down to this… its really not how logic works we determine if things are possible based on evidence. Not the lack of evidence… you can never prove something that doesnt exist, doesnt…

        Logic is used in the court of law and it’s completely reliant on evidence missing to prove innocence.

        Hence, “there is zero evidence that the defendant was in the location at the time of the crime which proves their innocence.”

        Adding: I mean, the biggest evidence some people have is that something can’t come from nothing. We have no proof of where our something started or came from (for all we know it’s a game of marbles), so their theory is just as valid as anyone else’s until proven otherwise.
