The Village Atheist: Thank you for that article you posted earlier.

However, I found that the basis of this entire article depends on some assumptions that go against logic:
1. A law of logic states that something cannot be both true and not true, and this can be proven. However, this isn’t purely a negative statement since it is partially comprised of a “true” statement. Furthermore, this law is specific to statements, rather than physical existences. For example, saying “I have red hair” and saying “I don’t have red hair” would be a wrong statement and could be proven, but it’s not making a claim about an existence (“red hair exists” vs “red hair doesn’t exist”).
2. “You can’t prove a negative” is, in itself, a negative; therefore it can’t be proven. However, that latter assumption is based on the fact that one CAN’T prove a negative, so they are going back on their words.
3. The next argument stated that you can make a double negation and prove that, thus proving a negative; however, a double negative is equivalent to a positive, NOT a negative. By proving a double negative, you are, in fact, proving a positive (i.e. I can prove that I am not non-existent).
4. Inductive reasoning is not an airtight way of arguing for a non-existence; one can search the entire planet and never find fairies and conclude that fairies don’t exist; however, this doesn’t establish for certain that they are non-existent because you never know if a fairy has been hiding in some flower while another flower was being searched).

Here’s part of the conclusion of the article:
“You can’t prove a negative! You can’t prove that there are no alien abductions! Meaning: your argument against aliens is inductive, therefore not incontrovertible, and since I want to believe in aliens, I’m going to dismiss the argument no matter how overwhelming the evidence against aliens, and no matter how vanishingly small the chance of extraterrestrial abduction.”

He is essentially saying that inductive reasoning is the best tool we have for interpreting everything, but it has its fallibilities (difficulty in proving a negative). If I claim fairies don’t exist because they are not in the fossil record, have never been seen, and thus don’t exist, that would be too hasty. Instead, I would have to find evidence for each of those premises, and evidence for each of those premises, going on for infinity, in order to prove fairies don’t exist.

In short, one can theoretically prove a negative if they can prove evidence of each premise, going on for infinity. So…if I can prove infinite premises, I can prove God doesn’t exist. Is that even possible?

Thanks for reading and thinking about this. I found the article really interesting and wanted to share my views, and now I would like to hear anyone else’s input so I can better inform my own perspective.

But it won’t be money that makes the winner. For members of the Global Lottery Collector’s Society, the scratch-off cards themselves are worth keeping because of their quirky themes and colorful designs.

From a $ 3 Montana lottery ticket based on the game Uno to a series of $ 2 “Star Trek” stubs from Virginia, the game themes run the gamut from movies and TV shows to sports teams and holiday cheer. The cards come in different sizes, shapes and denominations.

“The whole purpose of collecting is not to get rich, or to get lucky, but to get the tickets,” said club co-founder Bill Pasquino. “But if I happen to hit a jackpot along the way, I’d be very happy.”

SEE PHOTOS OF THIS UNUSUAL HOBBY:

This weekend, Pasquino is joining about two dozen other club members at the group’s annual “Lotovention.” Held this year in northeast Philadelphia, the gathering is an opportunity to meet other self-described “lotologists,” trade tickets and take a gander at the never-ending multitude of collectible material.

Pasquino, 64, a retired teacher from Lancaster, Pa., said that when the club started in the late 1980s, only about a dozen states had lotteries â?? and none would issue more than six tickets per year.

Today, 43 states plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands have lotteries, as do countries across the world.

Pennsylvania alone issues between 55 and 65 new instant games a year, according to state lottery spokeswoman Elizabeth Brassell. Recent scratch-offs include the $ 10 “Stacks of Cash” ticket â?? top prize $ 200,000 â?? and the cheaper $ 1 “Dice Doubler,” with a jackpot of merely $ 2,000.

While the club focuses on modern scratch-off tickets, lotteries in the U.S. date to Colonial times. Princeton University’s library boasts a collection of tickets from 1761-1826, noting that lotteries were common sources of public financing because there were relatively few banks.

Benjamin Franklin financed cannons for the Revolutionary War through lotteries, while Thomas Jefferson disposed of most of his estate through such tickets, according to Princeton archives.

Modern lottery stub collectors get their goods through buying or trading, and occasionally through friendly vendors or distributors who save voided sample tickets for them, Pasquino said.

Most collectors actually scratch the tickets to see if they win â?? Pasquino’s biggest prize so far is $ 500 â?? though some leave them untouched, forgoing a possible jackpot to keep them pristine. The club does not take a stance on gambling.

At the convention on Friday, club vice president Steve Gilbert hoped to find a set of eight Pennsylvania lottery tickets from the late 1970s â?? the only state-issued stubs he doesn’t have in a trove of thousands. The “Multi-Million Sweepstakes” were sold only at Penn National racetrack, he said.

“The older tickets are very difficult to find,” said Gilbert, of Philadelphia.

That’s partly because there were fewer collectors back then. But despite the proliferation in scratch-offs, the club has seen its membership wane in recent years â?? from about 550 at its peak to 150 or 200 today, according to Pasquino.

Pierre and Anne-Marie Lasnier, who are in their 60s, traveled to Lotovention from the small town of Le Plessis Dorn, France. They came to see what they could add to a collection that includes French national lottery tickets dating back to 1933.

They brought with them hundreds of sample tickets from France: 3 euros for a Valentine’s Day-themed ticket; 5 euros for one offering a chance at “Vacances a vie” â?? vacation for life.

The couple posted a note at their table to let people know they’re seeking lottery tickets featuring images of M&Ms candy, Betty Boop, Pink Panther, Elvis and the zodiac. They had no luck in the first few hours of the gathering on Friday.

“Not yet,” Anne-Marie Lasnier said. “But we have time.”
