In reply to the discussion: The burden of proof is on believers [View all]Brettongarcia
(2,262 posts)1) Some Christians will initially state their beliefs as mere "beliefs," based not on firm knowledge, but only "faith." But soon enough, most of them start speaking very positively and dogmatically about their beliefs, as being "certain" and "holy."
Sooner or later, most believers end up speaking of their beliefs as if they were NOT mere faith claims. But were based on real evidence and truths.
2) Then too, as it turns out in post 73, and the writings of Woodbridge Goodman, there are scholarly works that tell us that the Bible itself says that believers are required to furnish real physical, material proofs.
Therefore finally, there are several reasons to insist that Christians cannot hide behind the alleged immunity of "faith"; they really must finally furnish real physical, material evidence for their claims.
