Why choose to say 'godless' and not say 'i don't know'?

Sure you do. Faith can also equate to a trusting emotion, and is not necessarily belief without evidence or despite contrary evidence.

That's not necessarily faith, it's rationalization and confirmation bias.

I do believe theists have faith IN God, not something that simply is decided by God. Theists convey that God is in control always, so everything is up to him.

Why is it for the weak? Do you have faith that your experiences of the real world are accurate?

I got into this with Arcanus a while back.

Can you demonstrate that there is no evidence in this universe of a God's creation?

Why then, would you declare it an Atheistic universe?

(April 18, 2010 at 6:53 pm)TheMultiverseTheory Wrote: Can I say the same for other universes? Probably, but there are many definitions of God that don't require the Supernatural bleh'age, so I can't go on record and say all universes were naturally made on their own by means of natural universe makings.

You'd first have to demonstrate that other universes exist, then define God and demonstrate that other universes don't require such a being. Only after that is verified with evidence can you make a positive claim and have a credible statement that comports with reality.
