how can you say that? what then do you call proof? a picture from a camera? A video? is that the only “proof” for you?

Did I say any such thing? While a video would be nice, it’s far from the only form of evidence available. Logical proofs are also acceptable — but I’ve yet to find one that stands up.

why can’t you use logic, and your brain to assess a situation such as Ma’amid Har Sinai which was given in front of 3,000,000 people, to be iron-clad proof enough for you??? It boggles my mind! Here you have 3 million witnesses to G-d’s revelation and they all pass this down to their children. Does this not stand up high enough for “intellectual scrutiny”??? 3 million witnesses…..

what WOULD be “proof” according to you? what would YOU say that would be undisputable evidence? I can not provide proof to you, if you do not DEFINE what YOU consider to be proof.

Very simple answer — from whence do you know that 3 million people stood at Har Sinai? The answer, of course, is the Torah. You cannot use the Torah as proof of the Torah’s claims.

Personally, I’m a bit puzzled myself. I never understood why people *need* ironclad evidence for Torah Min HaShamayim. I certainly don’t. I believe it — period.

It’s really very simple — if you tell me that you believe for some non-evidentiary reason, then I have no argument with you. If you say that the Invisible Pink Unicorn exists, despite a lack of evidence, then I have no argument. I may think you’re wrong, but that’s just my opinion.

Once, however, you start insisting that you have proof to the existence of the Invisible Pink Unicorn, then I’m going to call you on it and demand that the proof actually be, well, provable.
