Does atheism inspire people?

[Reforged]

So we've gone from religious myth to si fi mental masturbation?

We are our brians, nothing more, and no, reality was not created 1 second ago. You could argue the moon was made of cheese too, but it would have as much credibility as any god claim.

"Prove it isn't true" is called shifting the burden of proof.

"Prove Allah isn't the one true god"
"Prove Yahweh isn't the one true god"
"Prove that their isn't a giant invisible teapot orbiting Jupiter"
"Prove to me that reality didn't start 1 second ago".

Anything you cannot replicate, test and falsify and have independently peer reviewed, will remain mere mental masturbation. Otherwise everything is true by default just because people have the ability to string words together in a sentence.

We use logic to reason, the 1 second world is not just "si fi masturbation" its a valid logical argument that cannot be shown to be false, can you show that the world isn't 1 second old with the illusion of age? No, you just accept it as a given that it is not, science does this it has presuppositions which it simply accepts in order to function.

er... yes? Science operates on what it *can* prove.
Is that a system thats not quite up to your standard?
Could you give me an example of one that is?
