Quote: A house without a foundation is one built of the assumption of no God. Why do you think science fails to answer so many questions (especially ones concerning origins)? They rationalized God out of the picture.We use evidence remember. You don't. There is no evidence for god's existence, nor is there evidence to suggest that some higher power is needed. Formation of planets, solar systems and the like are the result of gravity. Where does god come into it?
Your claim, your burden of proof. All I've done is rule it out.
Quote:You may believe that you do not claim that God does not exist (through rationalization). But I am aware of the "weak" atheist position. You accept nonexistence by default. However, nonexistence is not the default position. It parallels the position of the prosecutor who must prove beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt a guilty verdict (nonexistence). Based on what is required to prove this position (all possible evidence or at least all known evidence definitively backing this position) it holds the burden of proof.Get busy disproving the orbiting tea pot then, and the invisible dragon in my garage.
Quote:What exactly do you mean by the evidence shows that He isn't needed? How so? This sounds like a bunch of rationalization of naturalism.We can explain how the cosmos works. We don't need to make up some god thing to explain it. See Stephen Hawking on - Does god exist? It's really good. Goes into detail on it.
Quote:You're creating a strawman. That has nothing to do with my post. The evidence and understanding of the cosmos suggest a beginning of the universe. Either God did it or He didn't. What do you suppose?It has everything to do with the post. You can't disprove what hasn't been proved to begin with. Otherwise you should have no trouble disproving the orbiting tea pot or the invisible dragon or the flying spaghetti monster.
You wanna know what I think on how everything got here? This is my answer - ?
A question mark. Because I really don't know. There is no reason to think a god was responsible, no evidence to suggest such a being exists.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
