Atheism Undermines Knowledge

[Esquilax]

Did that go over your head? Your belief that the chair won't collapse when you sit on it could be wrong. But you figured on the balance of probabilities that it would hold up just like it always has. That fine tuning applies to my rationalisation probably more so than the faith you put into that chair. So how do you work out that I'm not open to possibilities?

How do I figure you're not open to possibilities? You're believing in something for which you have no evidence to the exclusion of things you do, is how. Faith isn't a pathway to truth.

You know that's a huge fallacy right? And what science cannot ever answer should be acknowledged and not brushed under the carpet because you're afraid to address it.

Who said anything about science? I'm talking about at all. Ever. You know what you were saying about the balance of probabilities earlier? Well, when every claim of magic or divine intervention, from rainbows to lightning to everything else has been proven to have a non-supernatural cause, throughout all of history, unequivocally, where else would that balance of probabilities lead us, other than to conclude that magical claims usually have mundane solutions?

Wrong in the fine detail perhaps. You have a problem with slight inaccuracies now?

I do when the source of those slight inaccuracies claims to be the inerrant and perfect, binding words of an all knowing god, yes.
