Hah, like an electric fence is supposed to prove anything. You can also get a good shock by watching a horror movie or hitting your toe on a table-leg, but oh no, these observations does not fit the electriasism worldview so they are just dismissed.

April video online, "endurance"
by bohm inapril video online.
at around 42 minutes, a women find jehovahs witness, but her husband is not too hot on the idea and so she has to study with her children in secret.
however eventually the husband prays to jehovah that if jehovah will help him find a leak in a construction he is working on, he will go to a meeting and presto, the next day jehovah help him find the leak so now he is a witness..

I think they are taking ques from the Mormons. I read each Mormon family typically have several stories about how god mysteriously intervened as part of the family lore and this fit that description pretty well. I can't imagine they would put the segment in the TV show if they didn't want the witness to emulate it. -

I'm an ABSENTHEIST. Are you also?
by EdenOne init just dawned on me.
the existence of god can't be proved, neither is there evidence of god's inexistence.
so, i'm neither theist neither atheist.

EdenOne: I am not going to persecute anyone for what they believe. I am simply trying to explore your definition -- according to what you say, we should be abenteists with respect to santa living in the andromeda galaxy? -

EdenOne: Just trying to see if I can follow your logic. Suppose I consider the idea that santa exists in the andromeda galaxy with flying raindeer. There is no evidence for or against that idea, so should we then not be abentists with respect to santa?

EdenOne:
Okay -- obviously we agree out of principle one should not say that so-and-so is 100% true, but it is not a very common think to meet atheists who believe so, especially those with scientific training. For instance Dawkins has his "Belief scale" (or what it is called) where he score himself as 6 out of 7 in terms of "unbelief".

EdenOne:
I agree this is all a matter of probability. I think the issue here is that you can accomplish what you set out to obtain by simply applying the standard tools of scientific inference. Suppose you have the following hypothesis:
H : God exists.
Now you gather evidence and that affects your belief* in H. Suppose (say) H becomes very unlikely on the evidence, then one way to quantify that is to say the probability H is true is very low. In facts, on this view, claims of certainty about non-analytical statements are merely approximating probabilities very near 0 or 1 with 0 or 1.
The point I am making is you should distinguish between two things: 1) the hypothesis (god exists, unicorns exist, seashells exist, the Higgs bosone exists) and 2) the degree of belief in these statements which is principle never 1 (total acceptance) or 0 (total acceptance of the negation).So you don't need to alter your original hypothesis H to
H' : God is absent
to allow for the remote possibility god may exist -- it is build into the framework of inference that such a remote chance might exist.
* Belief has various meanings and i am not using the religious one.
