1. We evaluate, we don't believe
2. West coast
3. I use to think true tolerance of other's faith is a virtue. I no longer think that is.
4. Post graduate
5. Big bang does not imply a spacially finite universe. Spacially finite universe does not imply any thing that would please theists. But theist string together unrelated proposition so as to seem to arrive at a bullshit conclusion all the time. But that does not make the practice any less worthless.
6. You shouldn't not believe in a finite or eternal universe. Instead you should seek to discover which is the case. If you can not discover that in your life time, that is no excuse to make something up.
7. Fine tuning not an argument. That's an impression based on superficial understanding.
8. I believe in neither ID nor Evolution. I find evolution to be a robust and well grounded theory with high level of predictive and explanatory power and correspondingly high probability of close correlation with reality. I find Intelligent design to lack attributes of a worthy theory suitable for evaluation, and deem it to be indistinguishable from primitive creationism chewed by modern weasels.
9. All of modern biological and geological sciences
10. It doesn't.
11. No, morals are result of trial and error attempts to reconcile the fulfillment various demands of primitive biologically based desires to the conditions of complex society.
12. No
