Atheism Undermines Knowledge

[Esquilax]

meanwhile mine actually has some data to back it up and support the conclusion I have come to.

So what is the purpose of life according to this empirical knowledge that you posess?

I don't know, and neither do you. There might not be one. What does this have anything to do with what I was talking about?

Currently you're looking very silly as you appear to be making claims of knowledge from not knowing something.

What's happening is that I'm not making claims based on not knowing something; you're the one making a claim.

You're seriously suggesting that logic is not evidence? I might want to frame that one. If logic is faulty then it isn't logic. It's illogic. To conclude that the earth is flat would be a mistaken assumption, given the evidence.

Given the evidence right now. See the problem? Back when the belief was widely held the pool of evidence pool was more limited, and it fit the belief in a flat Earth. Who's to say that the situation now isn't the same? That's why it's ridiculous to make claims at all without knowledge.

(corrected)

So, are you going to demonstrate this premise now?

Really? Name a few.

The believers of every other god claim seem to think that theirs is just as sound as yours.

Why? why can't you use your best logic and defeat it that way? How can you defeat the logic with no evidence? Where is your scientific vigour?

Why am I required to refute your logic before you'll be willing to let go of your assumptions? Moreover, why do you hold beliefs that you can't demonstrate? What is scientific, let alone logical, about that?

How about this: you provide anything actually worth refuting, and I'll give it a go. Because until then, claims given without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and mockery is the only response necessary for incoherent positions. Like yours.

So you say. But all I see are empty words vs sound logic. Taken at face value, this looks like a clear choice, wouldn't you agree. Which woukld you choose?

I would choose the person who's intellectually honest enough to just say he doesn't know, rather than the one who leaps to conclusions without any supporting evidence. Why wouldn't you?
