A scientific reason to not believe?
#27
RE: A scientific reason to not believe?
Here's the trouble Howie. You were asked for evidence and you gave arguments. Now, four of your five arguments are variations on special pleading (the fifth is a bare assertion). That's a problem in and of itself..but suppose that it weren't? Suppose that you managed to offer an argument that did not defeat itself, a valid argument. You would still require evidence that it's premise and assertions are sound. Garbage in, garbage out. If your valid argument is built upon incorrect information you -may- reach a conclusion that is "correct", but it wouldn't be for the reasons offered. Nothing that you offered is proof of a god, unfortunate, but true. Meanwhile there remains a distinct lack of evidence. That's all that science deals in, evidence and explanations. You're barking up the wrong tree. If you want to believe in any fairy tale, of any stripe, that's your own business, no one and no thing is beholden to you for a reason not to believe.

Handle your shit. Carry harder (hi lilly).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
