    I prefer to rely on indirect revelation and personal gut instinct. See I read that Wallace, Idaho is at the centre of the universe (in a book no less). So I'm not just making it up myself. Other people believe it too! It also makes perfect sense to me, and my life has improved since I started believing it was. The only way to explain that is that it is the centre of the universe.

    I see no reason to let science and stuff like that get in the way of my beliefs. The science is wrong, and clearly has a anti-Wallace bias going on too. I know what is true. I don't need external confirmation of my gut instincts. I feel them. In my heart. In my fingers. In my toes. Little bit in my stomach. Etc etc.

    Scientists may have proved that the Wallace, Idaho is not the centre of the universe ( I know this offends you deeply WK...), but has science proved that God doesn't exist?
    You can give me your answer in three weeks...:pac:

    Science has not proven Idaho is not at the centre of the universe because science has never proven anything, as I'm sure you are aware of Splendour considering you have been told this countless times already. :)

    The point of the Wallace, Idaho story is to demonstrate the silliness of the idea that because something has not been disproven that this is some how evidence or support for the idea or belief. Particularly when science doesn't deal with proof at all.

    I am reminded of Wallace, Idaho every time someone on this forum says something along the lines of Prove to me God doesn't exist and I will listen to you

    I am also reminded of Wallace, Idaho every time someone on this forum starts discussing how they know God exists because of a series of feelings or intuition or personal experiences they have had.
