athoughtfulman,thanks for the feedback and to be truthful I do agree with some of the things you said in the previous post.I think that philosophy and science do compliment each other.But in my view philosophy is not objective fact but rather the musings of man on objective facts as presented by science.A means of interpreting those facts and trying to extrapolate as much knowledge from those facts.
But some philosophers tend to take things way beyond the norm in my opinion and instead of clarifying the issues discussed tend to make those issues more complicated and cloudy.This is prevalent in the discussion on origins and religion.
We have so many definitions for each terminology the philosophers have invented.Atheist,agnostic, etc. dont mean what they meant anymore so much more has been added.Honestly in my view an atheist cannot argue from the bible since the bible in my opinion is not a reliable source of information.The bibles very authorship is in doubt and the fact that it so contradicts science and history is also an indicator of it's uselessness as a source of reliable knowledge.
Alot of the philosophers that argue about God do so from a biblical perspective which in my view is futile.Man has always had some concept of God or gods way before the bible ever came into existence.Instead they should argue about the origins of religion as far back as they are able to take it.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
