(February 7, 2014 at 10:52 am)Sword of Christ Wrote: It's not that one religion is entirely true and the others entirely wrong, a Christian can agree with a Muslim or a Jew on many points and disagree on a few other points. With atheism/naturalism you have more of an absolutest view where you are 100% right and everyone else is 100% wrong about everything they believe there isn't a middle ground where you can agree on certain details.
I wish you'd relinquish this deathgrip you have on the idea that you know more about what atheists believe than they do, because it really makes conversations hard. Truth is, you and I probably agree on a great many things, bar the existence of your god and the magic claims associated with it. It's simply untrue to say that you're wrong about everything, but you are wrong about this specific genre of things.
This kind of misunderstanding is what happens when you decide to speak in absolutes about a class of people whom you've never been one of; theistsplaining is never going to actually get to the heart of the issue. Especially when you begin by ascribing us 100% certainty, when generally speaking we're a group of people who don't think certainty is possible on any issue, bar a handful of axioms.
Quote:Science doesn't and can't explain where why all these physical processes and laws of physics exist or where they came from to begin with however.
Science won't even attempt it until there's some reason to believe that the laws of physics "came from" anywhere, rather than just being an inherent property of the universe. Do you have any evidence of that?
