Quote:Likewise, simply, from the fact of suffering it doesn't seem to follow that there is no GodSuffering doesn't follow that there is no god, true. But if it's shown/proven that the universe can come into existence without a god (which does have support), then that would follow that a god was never required and so god's very existence would be pointless. It wouldn't disprove god, just prove that he/it isn't necessary.
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.
