Hey, if the logic works for Jesus, it’s good enough for the Doctor.

Not knowing enough to call herself an expert in anything, but knowing plenty enough to get herself in trouble, Sara loves to spend her time blogging and exploring all things technology and social media related. Despite her affiliations, she staunchly refuses to be called a geek,claiming she just enjoys the company of people smarter than she. (Leave it be, denial is her happy place.)
If you’re taking about knowledge and proof, then, since one can neither prove nor disprove the existence of the doctor, the only reasonable position is doctor-agnosticism.
If you’re taking about belief, then to positively assert either the existence or inexistence of the doctor, when knowledge and proof of either are equally unobtainable, are equally faith-based assertions, and should be acknowledged as such. To fail to do so is nothing less than intellectually dishonest.
I will be teaching my child that the doctor definitely, positively exists. Not because i like the idea of the doctor, or think he makes a good metaphor, but because I’m pretty sure that i actually met him once, and that he kept me from killing myself.
