I don't really see a difference between this belief and the belief of billions in 'developed' countries that an omniscient and omnipotent supernatural being is watching over us.

One you can create a scientific theory on it and as such can disprove that theory. the other you can not.

You can't create a scientific theory on it though - they have the goat, they believe what they believe.

If your way stands true, get the turin shroud, all those pieces of toast, people with 'stigmata,' or whatever absurdity people believe shows the existance of an all- powerful creator and apply scientific logic to it. It doesn't work, but many people who would laugh at this, would seriously believe the above examples were real and serious!

There is no difference at all. Both are completely absurd. The big difference is some people laugh at the story of the goat, whilst believing in something equally stupid.

yes there is teh people can explain what is magical about teh goat this can then be tested. the same can not be said for a God we haven't got a clue about him and as such can't make a theory..

so are you saying there's no possibility of a God or Gods in the universe? that's also absoultly retarded, now way you can prove that or no that.

How would you test it?

----------------------------
Scientist: "Blood and skin samples conclusively prove that this goat is 7 years old, thus this proves it is not a shape-shifting, car-stealing magician"
African: "No it doesn't. The magician purposefully turned into a 7 year old goat to trick you."
Scientist: "Ok, why doesn't he change back?"
African: "He doesn't want to."
Scientist: "You're an idiot."

There is no way you can prove this to someone who believes such an absurdity.

------------------------------------------------

Scientist: "Rock samples and fossils conclusively prove the Earth is millions of years old and dinosaurs walked the earth.
Creationist: "No it doesn't, the Bible says it is only 6,000 years old."
Scientist: "What about the scientific methods used?"
Creationist: "God is testing us"
Scientist: "You're an idiot"
Second less extreme religious person: "The bible isn't meant to be take literally!"
Scientist: "So who decides which parts actually happened and which parts are fables? You're a very special person."

Yet again, there can never be proof where belief and faith are involved.

There is no difference in how absurd this story is and the belief that a supernatural being impregnated a woman with himself, was both his father and son, died, came back a few days later, then physically ascended into 'heaven' to atone the human population of all sin that he himself originally created.

Both stories are totally absurd to any intelligent person.

Am I saying there is no possibilty of a God? No I'm saying the exact opposite; if a person accepts the possibility of a God, then that person must also accept that their is an equal possibility that this goat is a shape-shifting magician. To believe otherwise screams of hypocricy.

My own personal belief is that the chances of a supernatural being are so infinitely small that, logically, such a thing does not exist.
 
Lmao, sat on the comp on my dinner break laughing my head off! I cant belive that!!!!!!!

Thats awsome lmfao, thats so funny :D Dumb or what!!

You gotta be kidding me..

rubbish, you could come up with theorys on how animals could shape change or anything else they claim. You can then test this.

You have no idea how or what a God would be or how he would do things. As such it is not testable in todays terms.

You can NEVER test either and come up with conclusive proof. This is an indisputable fact.

No amount of testing to prove an animal was previously a man/ woman would convince someone with the belief otherwise.

You still haven't answered my question as to how you would conclusively prove the goat has always been, and will always be a goat? From an intelligent and logical perspective, it is blindingly obvious that it just a goat. From a religious perspective there is no way to test this - full stop.

If you laugh at this story, you should laugh at other religions stories too. I'd like to laugh at it, but it just makes me feel sad that people in this day and age can follow such lunacy.

God or magical goat, there is absolutely NO difference. Both are equally absurd.
