So, You Don't Believe In Sasquatch

Great. Can you show me God?


Look Kelly, we are bound and severely limited by our finite nature. We will never do the math. We simply don't have all the numbers.

Which evidence could that be?

Would a painting not convince you of the existence of an artist?

Why?

I believe in Sasquatch because there's a book about them that says they exist. In the preface, the editor acknowledges that unbelievers also exist, but asserts that the information provided in the book is true.

If a book says it's true, then it must be true, right?

Plus, the book contained an interview with a Sasquatch where the subject reportedly said, "What the hell kind of interview is this? Who do you think you're talking to? Yes, of course I exist. Do you?"

"Because Sasquatch said so," is good enough for me.

[Edit: But in that interview, I don't think the Sasquatch said anything about consequences of doubt. Hmm. Sorry that I strayed from that particular point.]

Neither of us were there at the time of creation (if there even was a creation). How could we possibly rule anything in or out with certainty?

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Right back at you. If you came across a painting and were not there to see the artist at work, could you ever say with certainty who the artist was? What if many artists were attributed to the work?

As we all know given enough time and enough paint the Mona Lisa
could be produced by the random play of chimpanzees.

No we don’t all know that, that is simply your faith claim.
