Please present positive arguments why you think atheism is true
RE: Please present positive arguments why you think atheism is true

Quote:Through belief. Not through impossible evidence.
Not acceptable Fr0d0. You might as well of said "have faith" or "take my word for it".
Why should I believe it if it cannot be demonstrated?


Quote:Precisely. That is how you limit yourself. I wonder how you trust enough to step outside your door. Most of what you understand you take on trust from non personally verified information. I'm sure if enough people told you you'd belive in God. Isn't that how you're functioning?

Or do you have the ability to process information and come to conclusionsw not based on hard physical evidence? I know that you do.
Not really. How can you test or measure such ideas?

Quote:It provides evidence. Not the evidence it cannot give.
And what evidence would that be?

Quote:And how do you prove it? If you ask yourself that question, then use your brain to work out if the question can be rationally asked or not, you will find that none of your questions are relevant. That's what I mean by using your brain to work this out. It's simple logic. Occams razor.
I shall apply Occam's razer now...the simplest explanation to this god idea of yours is that you are mistaken. God is an unknown entity that is devoid of explanatory power. Why should I take it seriously?

Quote:Not unknown: unknowable by the scientific method, by the definition the scientific method sets out for itself.
Then it is unknown. You're claiming that a being is outside the laws of nature. Which is a heck of a claim.

Quote:Please show me how I fail to comply to the scientific method.
Using unknown entities, presupposition of the extremely improbable without evidence to support it.
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.
