So why did you say this:
Quote:
and ignoring the irrelevant stuff about what one individual muslim allegedly says
?
Because its about me, not 1.5 billion people. If you are going to make statements about what 1.5 billion individual men women and children think and say, then you need to have 1.5 billion individual quotes to prove it. Nothing less.
Surely not even you are saying I am "proof" of what 1.5 billion people think are you? Because that would be the mother of all "mindless collective" arguments.

So why am I the only one who contradicts myself when I say this?
Because you simultaneously say you are right, obviously.
And before you try it, saying I am sure Muhammad existed is not arrogant - as no one disputes it, and there is more than enough evidence to support it. Please don't even try to compare that claim to a claim about every single muslim, man woman and child having the exact same thought process about genocide, based on absolutely nothing but some ham-fisted attempt at deductive reasoning + it was gandalf wot did it.

Modern science is entirely built on theories that are impossible to prove but easy to disprove. Why does your "argument" not apply to that?
Your absurd claim is not just impossible to prove, it is impossible to even have any basis at all - unless you are going to individually interview 1.5 billion men women and children from all corners of the globe. And thats why its not scientific. When you corner yourself by inserting the word "all", instead of "many" or even "most", then you doom any chances you might have had of making it in any way "scientific". Its now in the realm of "making crap up without having a clue". Thats what you do, its not what science does. Scientific theories may be easy to disprove, but they definitely give due respect to actual evidence. The case for a scientific theory does not solely rest on the logic of some deductive reasoning - at least not in the 'modern scientific' sense. It has to have actual evidence to support it.
What you present is an affront to modern science. It is the very sort of crap that modern science tries to expunge from the world.
Also, how is it easy to "disprove" Muhammad? History is not science. Nor is making up crap about the singular 'hive mind' thought processes of 1.5 billion people. Come to think of it, modern science has nothing to do with what we are discussing. Not sure why you keep bringing it up.

Why is he not the best example? Do you have a better one in mind.
A better example for a someone living in the 21st century would be someone who didn't live in ancient history, I would have thought.
The Quran says he is
an example, not that he is the best example. Just another flaw in your logic.
