All of this continues to go past you. You want to attack the metaphysical for its belief system yet you completely miss when you make the same logical leaps for yours. How can insurance companies prove something? Why are they right? If a court makes a decision, is that the correct one? Prove it. Only you can’t use logic or anything that comes from logical systems because, based on your attacks on religion, you’re not allowed to use the faith to prove the faith.

I want to challenge baseless claims. My sarcasm in response to baseless claims is intended to show how completely useless “logical leaps” actually are. I’m surprised you haven’t caught on.

How can insurance companies prove something?

Interviews, dash camera footage, police reports, etc. Evidence of what happened is gathered.

If a court makes a decision, is that the correct one?

If they are applying the law fairly and without prejudice, then it is often correct.

But in a court, you at least have the opportunity for both a plaintiff and defendant to present evidence of their position.

If you had someone in court say that “god told me to do it”, they had better have some strong evidence supporting that, no? In those cases, that person’s lawyer may try to argue that their client is insane, and rightfully so.

Only you can’t use logic or anything that comes from logical systems because, based on your attacks on religion, you’re not allowed to use the faith to prove the faith.

Faith = the belief in something without evidence. Faith itself is not evidence for anything.

If religion is going to use faith to “prove” all their claims, they will be challenged.

You haven’t shown that an insurance decision is correct. You also didn’t show that a court decision is right. You’re not seeing the forest for the trees.

Your faith is that evidence trumps all. That is a baseless claim unless you can prove it without the structures of evidence-based discourse. You are using logic to prove your statements which is logically equivalent to “god said so.” You argue your beliefs trump theirs; you are equivalent using your foundation. Your religion is logic which, as I have pointed out many times without comment from you, is just as made up as any religion and more importantly has the introspective capabilities to prove so.

This is a fairly straightforward epistemological argument; I’ve run out of ways to say it. Good luck!

Are you suggesting that insurance companies and courts simply roll the dice to come up with a verdict or conclusion? That none of the evidence presented means anything?

How do you make decisions if you can’t believe anything? I can’t imagine having a worldview where evidence counts for nothing and faith guides my every choice. It’s simply nonsensical.

Your faith is that evidence trumps all.

Evidence removes faith from the equation. And the more of it you have, the better the quality of the evidence, the more people can test the conclusion, etc., the stronger your claim/belief/hypothesis is.

This is something we learned as young children: “how did you come up with that result?” requires explanation. If you can’t explain it, then you have no understanding.

I’ve run out of ways to say it. Good luck!

You and me both. Best to you.
