Will The Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up?

If that's what you feel inclined to call me, go ahead.

The no-god scientific theory is what currently works for me, but I'm not sure that's right. Never will. "Agnostic" basically means "I don't know," and that's what I identify with more.

Eh, it's just a label.

Both terms fit, but I like "agnostic" better.

So nyah.

"Which is more likely? That Jesus resurrected or that unicorns exist?"

It sounds as though you were implying that the reasonable answer is the ressurection. But given the way DNA works and the fact that we still sometimes find new species in the jungles of Madagascar, any atheist worth his salt would pick the unicorn. I'm not worth my salt but I would love to bet hundreds of thousands on the unicorn if there was any way to come to a conclusion.

[/ QUOTE ]I took jesus' resurection from the way the question was worded. If the question stated "unicorns ever existed or still exist", or that jesus was resurected by the hands of the God of the Bible, I'd take the corns hands down.

[/ QUOTE ]Eh, fair enough. It's no secret that I'm upset that athiest was "defined" by men of faith, and not men without faith. Or perhaps it is a secret.

I see you've been reading all of the philosophical heavyweights.

Aren't unicorns big flying horses with a giant horn?

Unicorns by a long way
p(unicorns) = nearly zero
p(resurrection) = much nearer to zero
