BTW, if that photo is sufficient enough for you to accept the absence of the turtle, why isn’t this photo (your photo) enough of an evidence for you to accept that God doesn’t exist?
You agreed his existence is very improbable. I just want to know why God is very improbable but the turtle doesn’t exist.
If I really thought you didn’t know the answer to that question, I would respond. But since I know you are either trying to piss me off or just have yourself some amusement at my expense, I’m just going to ignore you. Go hijack another thread.

I usually avoid the atheist vs agnostic wars since they strike me as pointless sectarianism a la Monty Python’s Life of Brian. That said, the “How can you be agnostic about God and not agnostic about [insert bullshit of your choice here]” argument doesn’t strike me as very solid.. The degree of certainty one feels about a belief ought to be proportional to the evidence, and the degree of disbelief one feels about a specific claim ought to be proportional to the evidence available to support of contradict it. The evidence against a turtle holing up the earth is considerably stronger than the evidence for a deistic kind of creator or many other possible descriptions of a deity. You may find the evidence sufficient to declare all of them utrue equally, but the tone of contempt you exhibit for those who disagree with this assessment strikes me as unjustified.
