Usually, you can gauge a person commitement to a discussion when certain care is taken transmitting the message. Simple things like capitalizing, spaces and all that shit. Hell, the speech would remain incoherent in this case, but it would be prettier.

Blind faith and evolution

 Leader of the gang of jerkoffs(tm)  Religious Views: L'Uomo verrà portato dalla sua creazione  Quote:From Wikipedia, With my only qualification being that "it takes one to know one", I would say christchinchilla is a flaming example. I'm a recovering one myself so I find those who exhibit what I'm avoiding all the more irritating. I guess I'm about as tolerant as an ex-smoker. Thank gawd for the ignore function. 
lol guess what, you don't know.

I'm sure the few (relatively) who's work this notion is pinned to are thrilled at being lost in the fog of species-smugness. Still... there's a lot of it about. MM
"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)  Chas Wrote:There is no evidence for any gods. Therefore, a lack of belief is a rational conclusion, not dogma. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhh  A lack of belief? It is rather a lack of desire to look for. You are expecting that someone bring you the evidence in a silver plate. How can it be when God does not have a physical body and when this essence is deep within your consciousness? This type of mentality is much worse then a dogma.

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

Affect the physical world in any way, at all? If so, then it can be measured, and evidence can be found. If not, then why should I care? And incidentally, how did you come to be convinced of this god? Something had to do it, right?
