Would you be an atheist if science and reason wasn't supportive of atheism?
RE: Would you be an atheist if science and reason wasn't supportive of atheism?
I like to watch them wiggle.

Again, if Vinnie wants to assign a probability to the universe by assuming that it doesn't exist, then he'll have to come to terms with losing the evidence that would lend credibility to his assertions.

If, however, he'd like to reference the universe as we know it to exist, he'll have to come to terms with the fact that odds and probability have lost their impact.

We're not starting from two different points, Vinny is simply incapable of reaching the conclusion he desires from either point. That's why we've seen him claim, for example, that the universe is improbable, without seeing him offer up any calculations, or how he came to determine them. Why he refuses to calculate the probability of his last response. It's more important to assert then move on. Standard operating procedure.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

This will weed out the realists and the rationalists from the rest.

Ofcourse I would believe-if reason & evidence supports it. Doesn't mean I would like it or worship anything, but if there's evidence it's reasonable to accept reality. At first-I thot that the question was strange, but then I realized how it makes sense from your perspective, since reason & evidence have no meaning and you don't accept scientific facts.
