Quote:I didn't say that you're denying anything. I said that under Pragmatism, which is something like "Action is belief"Except I LACK belief, I'm not acting on any 'belief'. No denial, No claim made, no belief.
Quote:Uh, burden of proof.Nice try, but you're the one claiming there's a god, and that he created the universe. The burden of proof is on you.
Quote:What if the only available explanations all include God's existence? What if most of the available explanations include God's existence? What if the most likely explanation includes God's existence? You'd just totally ignore all of those explanations until it was separately and independently established that God exists?Yep. The existence of a god or gods must first be established. Otherwise I'll stick to the - don't know, answer. Any fictional character can be used to explain everything as much as your imaginary friend (god).
Quote: "Pixies created the universe" is really "Pixies exist, and created the universe." So any proof that pixies created the universe must prove along the way that pixies exist.How does that make any sense? How can you have proof that pixies created the universe if you have not yet demonstrated that pixies even exist? That's total theistic nonsense.
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.
