Is Atheism Dead?

[Simon Moon]

(bursts out laughing)  Klorophyll, as long as there is one atheist on Earth, atheism will continue to be a going concern.  Are you so really desperate to shore up your faith that you need to lie about what other people  do or do not believe?

I don't dispute the fact that atheists exist, lol. But atheism, as a position on religious beliefs, lost its charm a while ago. All the major proponents of atheism are epic failures. From Krauss equivocating on the word nothing, to Dawkins misunderstanding Aquinas's all Five ways.

Do you agree with me, @Astreja, that Krauss is a dumbass when it comes to understanding the word nothing ?

The fact that you are unable to get it through you head, that different words have different meanings, depending on the field of study or context, is pretty much a dumbass move on your part.

There is no equivocation, because physicists, define what they mean by the word "nothing", in the context of physics, before they use it. The physics' use of he word "nothing" is not Krauss's alone.

You do understand that many words have different meanings, depending on context, right? The phrase, "you are driving me crazy", is a different meaning for the word "driving", than, "you are driving me to the store".


Is this point of differing definitions of the word "nothing" really where you want to hang your hat as far as calling out a physicist?

It's not that physicists misunderstand the word "nothing", it is that there is a different meaning within the purview of physics, than there is in purview of philosophy.
