There is a china teapot in its own orbit around the sun.

HUMPH!

Well I want scientific proof then the teapot exists...

I assert that it most certainly must not because there's no scientific evidence to prove it! HA!

Have you never heard the bubble of boiling water?

Have you never felt the joy of the cup that cheers and doth not inebriate?

Have you never felt that there are events beyond human control?

Brew & Believe, Baby. Brew & Believe.

Is this the bubble you live in?

Ummm only when that cup was filled with wine....

I control my world... no one else...

I'm brewing a theory here... that the teapot theory is a bunch of bologna based on the fact you can't prove it scientifically!

Whoooooooooo!

Scientific proof?

Now imagine, however, that this teapot undergoes a sea change. Suppose it becomes an authority (out of its spout come forth important commands and promises). Suppose it becomes a source of comfort, as earthly teapots are, but more so. Suppose it becomes the focus of national identities: it is especially one of our teapots, not theirs. And so on: it answers prayers, adopts babies, consecrates marriages and closes grief. The teapot was cracked, but rose again and is now whole. It has achieved mythical, legendary, even religious status. It becomes crass to ask how bit it is, how its orbit is shaped, what china it is made of. These questions demean and belittle the teapot, and probably suggest sacrilegious intent on the part of those who insist upon them. Above all, it becomes a sin and shame to deny the existence of the teapot, whereas it is not usually a sin to deny the existence of anything.

I'd like to believe in pot luck
But at one time it was a crack pot
Once a pot is into crack
I doubt it can ever steep again

You know I've been thinking about this...

Since you are unwilling to offer me the scientific proof I request I will just have to deny the existence of the teapot...

Rather, I think you are mistaking the teapot for a train!

WHOOOO WHOOO!

time for a brew I think

just a thought

"Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.

Can you disprove the existence of The Holy Teapot?
Of course not because It is real!
I have already proven Teapot with my ontological argument for Teapot, which noone has refuted!
But here, I will offer another.
This one is simple, and is Teleological in nature.

(1) Check out the world/universe/giraffe. Isn't it complex?
(2) Only The Teapot could have made them so complex.
(3) Therefore, The Teapot exists.

Or How about this one, a moral proof.

(1) Hitler didn't believe in the teapot.
(2) Hitler was a very bad person, and the Teapot is good by definition..
(2) Therefore, The Teapot exists.

Convinced yet?
Praise be to The Holy Teapot

I have seen the teapot.

The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of the Teapot lives forever.

So mote it be.

Of course I can disprove the existence of the teapot! Simply because I don't believe in the teapot.

If the teapot were "all wise, and all knowing" as those who worship it say... then most certainly the "teapot" would be more than happy to prove itself to me! To show itself to me!

I have seen no proof. So therefore the teapot must NOT exist...

You simple minded people... willing to run after the silly rantings of those brainwashed teapot followers!

HUMPH! I snivel at such drivel...

Your ontological ramblings prove nothing except that you are brainwashed right along with the rest of those chocolate coated teacups!

Oh my, such a weak argument, coming from one who uses such "strong theory's"! I am disappointed to say the least. I think maybe you should just go hide behind your saucer, surround yourself with your little "teacup" friends, and pray to your most holy teapot. Maybe if you pray hard enough... you won't get burned when someone tips him over and pours him out! HA!

You call that proofs? Rolling Eyes

To one such as I, who is very learneded in their aTEAism, there is nothing you could present as real proof of any such teapot existing...

So, you consider the world/universe/giraffe complex? And you say only The Teapot could have made them so complex? I don't think so!

Have you ever thought of the "Big Fart Theory" out there? Remember that one? The cosmo's farted and PLOP, we all came to be!

Maybe I lean more towards the idea of being farted into existence! It definately makes more sense than the "teapot" theory!

Hitler was a fart head...

Hitler stunk...

Therefore, Hitler was farted into existence....

It makes perfect sense to me!

Name calling with no accompanying argument. He is clearly making a point by metaphor, challenging your position on God, which you are just as clearly afraid to respond to.
