How atheist are you

RE: How atheist are you
(November 15, 2013 at 8:23 am)Jacob(smooth) Wrote: Was listening to Prof Dawkins on the way to work this morning. He described a spectrum of agnosticism from
1, KNOWING there is a god,
2 Being almost certain there is
3 more probable than not,
4, even odds,
5, more probable than not that there isn't,
6, almost certain there isn't, and
7. KNOWING there is no God.

He described himself as a 6, and cited the celestial teapot, which may or may not be orbiting the sun, as an example (it's probably not but he couldn't be certain).

So my question is, where are you on Dawkins scale?


4/5

I suppose it depends on your definition of a god.

I really don't think you can compare a god or gods to a celestial teapot.

First of all a celestial teapot within our universe going round the sun is within our time and within our universe and within our laws of physics so its highly likely not to exist.
But who knows what exists outside our universe, outside of time. But saying that I think if there is a some sort of a powerful being beyond our space and time I think it might not even know we exist, and if it does I feel almost certain it didn't make a virgin pregnant or cause some floods.


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.
