example help clear confusion? And can you provide more examples?
Prof Karl Popper said this. His favourite example was: If you believe that all swans are white and you write a scientific law that says so but then you see a black swan in Australia, your theory is blown apart. It doesn't matter how many white swans you keep counting, one black swan means your theory is history.
In religion, Christianity, Islam and Judaism depend on historical data. The apostle Paul used this argument about Jesus, "If Christ has not been raised, then our faith is in vain." Paul's faith could easily have been shown to be false if the embalmed body of Jesus had been produced.
This is NOT about the ABSENCE of proof. It's about proof that something is wrong. So can anyone prove that Jesus was not resurrected, for example? If not, why do otherwise rational, scientific-type people on here keep ridiculing Christians for their belief that Jesus was reesurrected? After all, there were over 500 eye witnesses to the risen Christ!
