Weird - wonder if this will mute the Tories having a go an Angela Rayner since no doubt Labour will have fun with this.To be fair, Menzies is just a back bencher and the Tories have lots of MPs they have suspended in this parliament. I suspect this will make them even more desperate.
It's all a bit tawdry.
The slow motorhome crash returns
Very odd story.

NS,Pixies holding things up isn't a good example, as it has been disproved by the theory of gravity. Evolution from single celled organisms to everything is a better example, as the evidence is incomplete and is contradicted by the lack of transitional species such as two, three or ten-celled ones. So we can either believe that the incomplete TOE is true or that supernatural creation is true or that we just can't know or maybe one day we will know. We all put our faith in some explanation or another for how we got here.
You’re confusing evidence with proof. Axiomatically I cannot prove the absence of a purposive world, of pixies or of anything else. What I can do though is to call the various methods I referred to a while back (Occam’s razor, absence of justifying evidence etc) as evidence on which to base a claim of knowledge.
If you insist on pursuing the line “but how would you know it’s not a supernatural X with the same effect instead?” however, then you’re also arguing that there can be no such thing as knowledge. If that is your intention then we part company there.
1: WHY is it not being discussed since natural behaviour in the context of human behaviour has been discussed before.Eh? Could you provide some context because still not seeing your point?
You posted something very similar this morning. I asked what was your point. So I repeat, what's your point?1: WHY is it not being discussed since natural behaviour in the context of human behaviour has been discussed before.
The point is that the people who did witness the crucifixion , or knew it to have happend, would in general be unlikely to believe in the resurrection, because Jesus didn't physically appear to most of them. Hence why Christianity didn't 'spread like wildfire' among the Jews in Palestine.Except that there is a claim that the resurrected Jesus appeared to 500 of them in one place. If you had been a witness to such an astonishing thing do you think you'd just mosey on home and mutter about the price of fish to your family and friends.
