1. What makes you all different from any enitity believing world views, when in all technical (if you're intellectually honest) are merely replacing *insert enitity here* with nature.
2. In truth and honesty how do you claim objectivity when inductive reasoning use as a means to justify a full naturalist point of view?
3. My Final question is simple, when inductively we know things do not spring out of nothing (ex nihilio) how is taking the stance nature did still not considered faith in it most general definition?
Thanks for the answers ahead of time, I mean these in all seriousness as these main questions are in fact ones that make me raise and eye brow to some of the atheistic claims. Peace and be safe!
Atheism isn't a belief in anything it's a lack of one in relation to gods so....
1 No one is replacing the word entity with nature, we are just deleting the word entity. An atheist might believe in anything else apart from a god or gods, an atheist could believe we came from aliens who have been here forever.
2 I can't make sense of this question.
3 Atheism isn't a belief that something can or cannot spring from nothing and has nothing to do with beliefs about nature.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
