...and incapable of convincing each other, is it safe to assume that one or both of them are somehow incapable of rational thought? Ignorance doesn't count as an excuse because the intelligent men can present each other with evidence.
What about all the different beliefs on this site? All the different religions keep on trying to convert each other, yet never seem to get anywhere. Each side has evidence and proof that they are right that makes sense to them, yet they have such problems convincing others...
Is it fair to say that something like 90% of the population of planet Earth is incapable of thinking rationally about their religion? I know, I know, you have some sort of uber-evidence, and would doubtless like to show it to me so you don't have to deal with the possibility that you are in that 90% faction. Please, save yourself the trouble.
My question is what criteria do you set for absolute certainty in anything if you might just be insane?
