So you are saying they will remove the Earth is Flat, The God had created world in 7 days and other similar things?
- rbanffy 6y agoYou can't prove God didn't create the world in 7 days any more than you can't prove the Flying Spaghetti Monster did that 15 minutes ago. That the Earth is not flat is easily and conclusively provable.
- FpUser 6y agoOf course I can't. I thought that the onus of proving is in the court of the ones making a statement.
- names_are_hard 6y agoWhat is the standard of proof here? I'd that the standard seven day creation story is about as outlandish as the narrative that the holocaust is a big hoax. Is it technically possible to explain away all the evidence with sufficient effort? I suppose. But occams razor tells us that yes, the holocaust happened, and no, three days did not pass before the sun was created. My point is that we generally don't expect mathematics-like incontrovertible proof to establish historical fact, and it's unfair to demand it to disprove religion. More broadly, Facebook now has to figure out what the standard of proof is for their platform.
