Quote:These statements remind me of the story of a man on the roof of his house during a flood praying that God will save him from the rising water. A boat comes along to take him away but he refuses the ride because he is praying to God and is sure God will save him. As the water rises, another boat and a helicopter come along to take the man to safety but with the same results. Finally the man drowns. When he gets to heaven, he asks God why he didn’t answer his prayer to be saved from the flood. God answers “I sent you two boats and a helicopter.”
A boat coming to the aid of a person is what I would call human intervention not devine intervetion. Boats and helicopters will be present in the area of a huge flood in order to save as many as possible. This isn't a godly thing but a human thing. If I was in danger and brought to safety by others putting their lives on the line for my safety, I would be thanking them not god. People being rescued by other people is not evidence of a god. The fact we can breathe does not prove there is a god. From YOUR point of view it is but not mine or any other atheist/rational person.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
