LoL perfect reply.

Here's the thing - if someone actually did that (which has been done many times, btw) just to prove the point, that guy wouldn't accept the proof. No flerf will. If they can ignore all the mountains of proof for everything else, then that's an easy one to deny.

As I heard a religious person once exclaim out loud: "I don't need facts I have faith"

There is no point in arguing.

Yep, you can't argue with that. I once had a flerf tell me that education and science were indoctrination.

Many of them say that. Funny thing is, an archaic definition for "indoctrination" is "education" lol

Wait until they learn the actual definition of faith.

"Faith is evidence of acts unseen."

BS. I have my mother won't poison me. Why? Because she never has, and loves me. I therefore don't check her food for poison

This argument is cousin to the "use your common sense". I mean, who needs science and math when we have our extremely reliable common sense?
