IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

I've only got your word for it.You say he's real and he's a human, but you are a believer. I could pop down to the church down the road and find someone who reckons that God is real and right there in the room with us. It doesn't prove anything.

Try as I might to understand thisI'm afraid I'm going to have to file this under "Bloody daft". The closest concept I can think of for this is the "My universe is my eyes and my ears. Anything else is hearsay" concept from H2G2, or the self-aware universe bollocks courtesy of Alan Wilson Watts. Sorry, that's just daft.

Once you accept that you cannot be 100% certain of anything,you can pretty much deny everything. Quite likely to end you up in an institution, though.

It's very simpleIf you believe that God does not exist because you have no objective experience of him, then logically you must believe that Richard Dawkins doesn't exist if you have no objective experience of him.
Lots of people claim to have seen Richard Dawkins, and even spoken to him - but lots of people claim that about God, too. Some claim that they both exist, based on their objective experience of them.
Can you prove that God exists? Can you prove that Richard Dawkins exists?
