Does the Haiti earthquake prove that there is no god?

[Thorne]

On this occasion I have to agree with you, but that still does not prove we are not in a steel plate.

I've never said it does. I've also never claimed that science proves that God does not exist. In fact, as I've often said, no one can prove that anything does not exist. It's impossible to prove a negative. All we can do is say that there is no evidence to show that something exists, or perhaps show that the existence of item A would mean that item B could not exist, but since item B does exist then item A cannot exist.

And tomorrow, when we prove the existence of item A and yet item B still exists, a whole new field of science will be born! Hallelujah!

Convert you? I very much doubt it.

Miracles have been known to happen.

Haven't they?

Just as there is no concrete evidence that "dark matter" exists!
