When one leaves a comment on Robert the Devoted Catholic's blog, one is met with this comment.
"You are welcome to make comments. Please cite evidence for your claims."
Doesn't this sound like there is a scientific or logical requirement that your comment must have justification!
My last post queried how certain animals would get to Noah's Ark. The kiwi, for example. Hey, it's a long way from Aotearoa to the Middle East.

Robert the Devoted Catholic suggested that maybe the flood didn't cover the whole world. Then he stated, "If it did impact the entire world, animals in distant regions would likely have been miraculously transported to the ark."
How can anyone argue against this?

Kevin was proud to be a Catholic and he particularly liked discussing his faith with others, particularly those who didn't believe in the Christian god.

Although the word 'faith' was a bit misleading, Kevin was confident that he could always use logic and his knowledge of science to prove his thoughts on his one true god. He also used his extensive knowledge of the bible which was, after all, the word of god. He knew that for a fact because he had prayed to god and god had told him so. He'd also read it in Catholic Answers.
Sometimes, while showing how good his logic was, Kevin found himself in a bit of a corner but he never panicked. He just turned to the miraculous things that his god could obviously do. Kevin never lost an argument.
When it came to his religion, Kevin was a bit of a smug bastard.

I agree with the sentiment but, shouldn't a question end with a question mark?
"When it came to his religion, Kevin was a bit of a smug bastard."
I think that there must be a test for 'smugness' in order to join Catholicism - or at least for adults wishing to join or stay with the religion.
That and being given a standard answer to use when anyone questions what you say. Something like St. Thomas Aquinas's quotation: “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary."
No, it was an exclamation and not a question.

Thanks, that’s generous.
I suspect that the counting machine came from Argentina.
