I posted to articles to prove that atheism is NOT the default position as Jaysyn claimed not to prove the existence of God to you.
Perhaps you should read more carefully. The question has been made whether such concepts like god's and some afterlife had been brought to them or they invented such concepts independently. If I'm not mistaken, children lower than five do end up in churches and other religious settings. I was. Never believed it of course but I do know the idea was taught to me.
A real test would be a child that had never heard of the word 'god' nor been in any religious setting and still develop such concepts. Even if they do, it could be considered by the fact that as pattern seeking primates with a very active imagination and a natural desire to fill in gaps of knowledge, we naturally invent such ideas to do just that.

That 'science' that you are talking about, as I already said, has nothing to with gods and everything to do with the brain's coping mechanism concerning the unknown. It is man that installs the concept of gods. The science only shows a predisposition to believe in the unfounded and supernatural when the truth is yet to be explained.
Read it with less of a bias and you will see. Now I am done with you. You've pissed me off.
Put him on ignore. I'm about to do just that myself.

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.
