Correct. No one seems to be arguing otherwise.
Quote:I don't really care what anyone believes. All I am doing is making an observation. Many of you are wrongly perceiving that I am somehow attacking atheism.
But you haven't simply made 'observations,' you have repeatedly called the atheist position illogical. Do you really not see how that is attacking atheism? If you do simply want to make observations, please qualify your statements with, 'I believe the atheist position to be illogical' or 'from my point of view it is illogical.'
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
