You can really look in the person's eyes and make them say the truth. But that is just my opinion.
It would make it harder for you to look up in google everything you don't understand, and you wouldn't be able to post your little youtube videos bashing philosophy.

Look up ? That's what people say when they can't bring forth a thing.

Science enables power and therefore enables an abuse of it , what's your point ?
Religion enables it because folks misinterpret (in Islam's case for example). (Bin Laden)
Some people can misinterpret Darwin's evolution and seek to execute a natural selection (Hitler).

Damn, this thread was cute enough.
I think it's pretty funny how the original point wasn't even that insane to begin with - I'm sure we've all had doubts about whether or not Bin Laden really died when they said he did, but Icecream argued his point so poorly it made the notion seem ridiculous and paranoid.
It would be nice to have proof, but there are a multitude of reasons why he was buried at sea, and why they aren't going to release the pictures (no point going over them again, they've been stated throughout this thread). If you're going to ignore these reasons and classify them as meager excuses, of course you're going to be dissatisfied with the lack of proof.
Also, I'm not sure if you're trying to impress people with your knowledge/memorization of "Hadith and the Quran" but failing to provide any citations while other people cite contradictory evidence doesn't really strengthen your argument because you aren't using that knowledge besides saying "no you're wrong, you deserve to go to Hell."
