Atheism Undermines Knowledge

[fr0d0]

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.

What precisely am I excluding? And how is acknowledging truth not dealing fully with a problem where your willful blindness is?

I have plenty of evidence. Not impossible, illogical evidence that would be empirical, no. Evidence enough for your mind to make a clear and informed decision, yes.

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

When dragons will fly. That kind of thing you mean?

Do you see the fantastical requirements you set for yourself? Would you dare to call yourself a realist?

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

You're trying too hard to draw a distinction where none exists. You may well have literalist fundies sewn up there. But us people with real rationalised beliefs remain untouched.

No, science should test everything. You don't think it should be honest about it's conclusions?

Science has yet to find any proof of a deity's existence. That does not mean a deity exists. Science has not yet proven that leprechauns exists, but that does not mean they do exist.

'Yet' lol. So let me get this straight... You think that an object defined as supernatural is possible to detect naturally.

Is this science of the gaps?

Tell us how you know science will never explain any given topic.

Science of the gaps. I think I have you guys classified.
