How Far Can We Go with Absurdity?

Debate Information

If we are going to behave like robots and be politically correct we would have to say that nothing is 100% impossible. But how absurd are some people prepared to be?

For example: to state that goblins exist is absurd because there is not one piece of evidence proving so, despite the occasional ridiculous colourful anecdotal accounts or stories in fairy tale books.

And, even though strictly speaking it is not 100% impossible that such a thing exists it would still be absurd to maintain such an absurd notion.
We are therefore entitled to reasonably state goblins do not exist. It is not being arrogant but is simply common sense. The same applies to any other absurd notion that anyone could dream up.

Another example: to state that a God exists is absurd because there is not one piece of evidence proving so, despite the occasional ridiculous colourful anecdotal accounts or stories in fairy tale books.

And, even though strictly speaking it is not 100% impossible that such a thing exists it would still be absurd to maintain such an absurd notion.
We are therefore entitled to reasonably state a God does not exist. It is not being arrogant but is simply common sense.
