If you can't prove there is no god does that mean there is a god?
Dr. Joseph Mastropaolo is prepared to pur $10,000 of his own money into an escrow account for any scientist who can prove, in front of a judge, that science contradicts the literal interpretation of the book of Genesis.

Once again let me suggest that Dr. Master Paul and I are leaning on a five barred gate in the gentle spring warmth of wherever you like. The field is empty. We have been watching the empty field for quite a long time, chewing on a bit of straw and talking about this and that. Suddenly Master Paul says, aprpos of nothing at all, 'See the cow in the middle of the field?
And I say, 'Nope'.
He says that there is definitely a cow there and i say that my sight was tested only last week, I can see the entrance to the field and all four corners and there is no cow.
It is HIS job to prove the cow.
I would suggest that Dr. Joseph will be waiting quite a while before a challenger appears...he might even have to invent one!! Anyway his $10,000 will be perfectly safe and he will spin like crazy to show the world that Genesis is word for word, cot only factually correct, but straight from the mouth (I guess that would be the orifice chosen, of his fairy in the sky.
Perhaps our faithists might care to debate the undebatable. Granny? Pimpy?

How is prove being defined here? It's relatively easy to extend the burden of proof to absurd lengths, and thus utterly wall off your proposition from rational inquiry. With the sort of vague myths present in the bible, it's also easy to just abandon on old interpretation that contradicts modern science and present a new one. Also, who is the judge?

Stupid analogy.....The Dr. says he sees a cow and you say you don't see it....neither of has to prove anything at that point....
Seeing or believing, or not seeing and not believing, is not the same as saying it exists or it does not exist...

He can't make you see what he sees and you can't say it isn't there just because you don't see it....

If he says the cow exists or you claim the cow does not exist, then both of you are making a different claim and both have the onus of proving your claims....
 
He can't be too sure of himself if he's only offering 10k.
And let's hope DY doesn't send him the link to that crazy guy in Australia or Pisskop write a school essay on it.
