Advocatus Atheist

He would have been 63 this October.

Ignosticism doesn't actually disprove the possibility of God being extant, or the existence of any gods or goddesses, for that matter. I actually talk about this some more in my book on Ignosticism , by the same title. At best ignosticism shows that most, if not all, definitions of God are invalid due to the problem of coherency (or lack thereof, in this case) and comprehensibility (or, again, lack thereof). Just a quick remind of how I am using the terms comprehensibility and coherency. Coherency here concerns itself...
