I've noted that Barwell failed to
prove that no god can exist.

That is argument _ad ignorantiam_,

No it isn't.

Yes it is.


http://www.infidels.org/library/mode...hew/logic.html quote
Argumentum ad ignorantiam means "argument from ignorance." The fallacy
occurs when it's argued that something,MUST BE TRUE simply because it
hasn't been proved false.


And that is precisely your argument, that it must be true that there might
be a god because there is no proof that hypothesis (that 'might be' theist
conjecture) is false, logical fallacy for which theists are famous, as
Copi explains.


On the basis of his conduct (repeating that same inane paragraph over and
over again, in spite of repeated spankings) throughout this thread,
particularly in his last few posts, and especially in this latest one, I,
Snarky, do hereby nominate "Your Logic
Tutor"/"Skeptic"/"Septic"/"TJ"/"Muddy Boggs" for the alt.fan.art-bell
"Thick As A Brick" award.

Seconds?

...
Are you referring to Mark?
In that case, I second it.
