Or this description from Sam Harris
"Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time."

Okay sweetie answer me this ... Do you believe in the wind ?
Next question ... Can you see it ?
New question When you walk into a room and it's dark do you flip a switch on the wall ? Why ?
Have you ever seen electricity ? How do you know if it exists ?
If I have something that I need help with and it is beyond mans realm and I've prayed before in this situation and gotten answers
do I believe it will work again ? I certainly believe the lights will always work if I pay the bill !

I'm sure if the astronauts left a tea kettle and spoons and knives floating in space, you would have to believe it. In your crippled logic, are you slamming YOUR creator? Be careful pal, you are not promised tomorrow.

Why would there be kitchen utensils in space? Unless the astronauts dropped or put them there on their trip to the moon, i see no other reason why this should be true.
Still, I'm not entirely sure about them bringing a kettle...

I have no evidence of tea kettles or kitchen utensils floating in space, but my life is filled with evidence of God.

If ppl say there are, it could, or could not be true. FInd out if there is proof. Investigate. Try to see the kettle itself, or ask some1 to show it to you. If they can't prove it's there, there's no reason for you to believe it is.

There is a ball of water, dirt, etc. floating in an orbit around a hot ball bigger than it is, with live creatures on it.
STUPID STATEMENT - but some believe it !

You trust your inner sense. Iknow you liken you example to the God's people talk about. God is not just in space but inside all of us. Look inside yourself and you will know what to believe and what not to.
