Excellent clip! Should be tagged "whose line", though.

Lol, I can't believe I didn't put even YMCA in the tags, but then, I suck at tagging Thanks for the fix!

He's not avoiding anything. The common direct answer to that question from an atheist would be, "I would need empirical evidence, and God would become a scientific fact. Any reasonable people, such as yourselves, would be able to determine individually that he's real, and there would be no controversy." Done. But then they'd continue with something like, "Give us one example of something you would accept as empirical evidence of God's existence." And on it would go until he'd satisfied their question completely. Then they'd counter with the, "Belief in God doesn't require direct evidence, and the lack of it doesn't disprove his existence." trope.

Why does this happen? The question wasn't posed because anybody on that panel cares what would change Mr. Silverman's mind. It was posed to show the audience that he is a determined God hater due to his own faith, and nothing to do with a lack of evidence at all. In other words, the question is a rhetorical one that says the common atheist answer of "evidence" is a dodge to avoid admitting that they're just as faithful. Silverman's tactic, instead of wasting all that time arriving nowhere, is to put all religious people watching in his shoes. The point is that if you, personally, have ample reason to believe that something is purely a myth (Zeus, Santa Claus, God), then asking what it would take for you to believe the myth is true is a nonsensical question.

Like someone earlier in the thread already pointed out, this is not his first rodeo.>> ^smooman:

"your belief that there is no god, is a belief about god that you cannot prove or disprove ... what is your proof that if there is a god that he would leave you empirical proof of his existence/what would be sufficient proof?"
"my question to you to answer your first question is would you be sure there is no santa claus, are you sure there's no zeus"
while thats a fair question to ask, you still didnt answer her question. And turning that question around and asking them what would be sufficient proof to believe in zeus. still. doesnt. answer. the. question. its just beating around the bush. its dodging. its misdirection.
kind of reminds me of the whose line is it anyway sketch where they have conversations made entirely of questions

thats not dodging.
the question itself is a false equivalent.
what the man was trying to convey is the fact that these people believe in their religion.the thought of believing in zeus is silly to them,yet they believe in their religion as being true.
he is trying to illuminate the circular logic and these people just do not get it because they are people of faith but ONLY of one faith,to believe in zeus,thor or wodin is ridiculous.

There's much more Whose Line here.

For some reason, I can't get into this series but can for Mr. Beans, IT Crowd, Whose Line It Is Anyways, Fast and Loose, etc.
