Another debate that doesn't make sense to me. :( Of course non-religious people accept the existence of revealed truths, unless, you use uncommon definitions (like you personally do) for 'existence' 'revealed' or 'truths'. If this is the case, please tell us what these definitions are in the debate title. Making people play guessing games as to what you actually mean is getting really tiresome.

Isn't science revealing truths every day?

I believe he was talking about revealed truth, as it pertains to Scripture. And science has been wrong about so many things, that it could hardly be considered the arbiter of truth. Take evolution, for example. There is no scientific evidence to support it. Evolutionists claim otherwise, but I haven't seen any definitive proof that it describes reality, in any way.

Science has never claimed to be the arbiter of truth. It has only claimed to acknowledge the method by which truth can be found through test and analysis. Much like Jesus did when he said “test all things and hold fast that which is true.”

There is no scientific evidence to support it.

So re-vaccinating against strains of influenza is not to compensate for the rapid rate in which they evolve resistances to vaccines?

Are you kidding me? Evolution has mountains of evidence to support it. Just because you don't accept the evidence doesn't mean it is evidence. Here is a great video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3GagfbA2vo

He can't possibly mean that because it would be an incredibly stupid debate to ask if non religious people don't believe in religion.

And science has been wrong about so many things, that it could hardly be considered the arbiter of truth.

Christians have been wrong much more than science. So ...

Take evolution, for example.

That doesn't help your argument.

There is no scientific evidence to support it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Evolutionists claim otherwise, but I haven't seen any definitive proof that it describes reality, in any way.

I assume you are religious, so at least in this debate we have determined that religious people don't accept the existence of revealed truth.

Can you tell me what proof you'd have to see to convince you that evolution is real?

Generally they won't, but it is not impossible. One could still be bamboozled by a charismatic drug addict in thinking that person had an accurate dream about the birth of the universe or something like that.

Do you know the difference between science and faith?

Science is the exact opposite of faith. Faith is believing in something without evidence or question. Science is about asking questions and seeking evidence.
