You're asking me why believing something without evidence is crazy or faith based (same thing)? Ok well if there is no evidence for something then you must rely on emotion (faith) to believe it is true. Thinking something is most likely true is not the same as believing it is true. Belief requires faith. To make conclusions about the world based on emotion as opposed to evidence is the essence of insanity imo.
No one has put forth that a lack of evidence is evidence to the contrary. To completely dismiss the idea would be to not ask for evidence, right? Why would you ask for evidence if you already dismissed the possibility?
It seems you are assuming that simply because people want evidence before they say something appears to be true, they are arguing that it is not true or dismissing it.
When we ask for evidence we are assuming it could be true.
I dont agree that it is "extremely plausible". It is possible but not plausible imo but I'd like to be convinced.
A. Not evidence that they are lying about this particular thing. The general public is also full of liars so by an extension of your logic their claims are also suspect.
B. Not evidence that he escaped germany or went anywhere else.
C. Yep, is this evidence that hitler was one of them somehow?
D. There are first person accounts of bigfoot, leprechauns, unicorns, angels, trolls, demons, ect. Many people claim to have a person relationship (to know) jesus, is that evidence? If I posted a video of people saying they know the flying spaghetti monster would you consider that compelling?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and no evidence of one theory isnt evidence for another theory.
Im not arguing whether or not he actually escaped or not. We dont know and thats all Im trying to say. Its all speculation unless they recover a body, or dna of some type. A blurry photo of an old white dude with a black chick and reports from whats essentially a random Argentinian are hardly evidence. Thats all.
To say its proof due to 1)lack of proof for suicide and 2) because the FBI received reports, is perfect example of logical fallacies. Im a fan of critical thinking... understanding what logical fallacies are and being able to recognize them is part of that and in my opinion this is a clear example.
Love ya dude and I hope or the sake of history you're wrong (which is technically a logical fallacy as well) :)
How would this constitute extraordinary? I find this hardly difficult to have happened.
