I understand what Atheism is better than you, and that's why I know it's not incompatible with (although it doesn't require) a belief in Aliens.Compatibility is irrelevant. You just as well could have stated that 32% of atheists like the color blue. So what?
No, you dont understand atheism, otherwise you would not have brought up Stalin. Remember?
You also dont understand how ancestral trees work. Remember your silly statement about other trees than m-eves having died out?
You also understand that your pet philosophy, which is based on medieval human intuition, completely fails at the moment of the big bang, where time and space cease to exist, and where probably causality (as we know it) ceases to exist. The universe itself qualifies as a potential first cause. But you dont understand any of this, because you cant grasp the concept of "there is no time nor a place". Thats why you keep on rambling about causes (were probably no causation can be), and eternities where there is no time. Thats why you talk about infinities (mathematial and real ones arent identical by the way) like a 6 year old, because you have the understanding of a 6 year old. This sounds plausible and convincing to any other person who has the understanding of a 6 year old, but not to people with higher educations (and some of them pointed all of this out to you, yet, as per usual, you choose to disingenuously ignore them).
Its basically the same trick W. L. Craig uses: Apply everday intutions to a situation that is all but intuitive (relativity: limited speed of light, quantum mechanics: random, uncaused eventss, effects befor caues, probabilities instead of events, collapsing wave functions, etc.). (ab)use science, preferable out of context, or just make shit up, misquote/quote mine. In case you get soundly refuted, just pretend it didnt happen, and keep on presenting of what by htn you must know are lies, or/and continue throwing more shit that the wall.
After all, you dont WANT to uderstand any of his, because, just like Aquin you are engaged in motivated reasoning.
