Quote:I had a feeling I would be categorised into the 'goddidit' crowd. It's kind of like the example I have a couple of pages back about kicking a ball. I could kick a ball and science could tell you every last detail about how the ball and my muscles act, but I don't think it can tell you why I did it.We don't have all the answers, but in no way does it mean that there has to be a god. We may one day know enough about the human brain to give you the answer.
Quote:Science can explain the properties of matter but it can't explain the motive for matter existing. I'm not saying it won't explain how it formed but why. Do you think this still falls under the 'goddidit' type argument?Perhaps there is no 'motive'. Like how people expect there to be a purpose, but what if there isn't any? Perhaps there is no 'why', only 'how'.
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.
