Logic vs. Facts...

"Science has nothing to do with a things status as an atheist..."
isn't it science proves?? science give facts??? and that make an atheist(my opinion coz i don't know how to be an atheist). and much more.., isn't it atheist only accept facts proved by science???

Think about it this way:

Theism is the belief in a god (or gods). Atheism is no belief in a god (or gods). Therefore: anything that does not have a belief in a god (or gods) is an atheist, by definition. What this means... is that every rock, tree, left ankle, toy soldier, and planet is an atheist. Scientific knowledge is utterly irrelevant (except perhaps if it is directly responsible for changing a belief in a god or gods into a lack of one).

Quote:"This is true. One easy example: have you ever been high? I hear it feels downright religiously insane "
soo... we can conclude that our experience shall not be cited as reference for an argument right??

That would be wise. However, I meant to suggest only the subjective nature of existence Sleepy

Quote:"??? What are you saying?"

I am sorry i meant "he gives me much logic than facts..."

Did you perhaps mean "He gives me more logical reasons why he does not believe than he does facts", or something similar? I think that more context regarding the issue should be helpful Smile

Quote:Philosophy is a branch of science, isn't it??

Again... it is only so if you have defined both so as to make it true. It is not necessarily a science under some definitions... whereas under other is utterly different... whereas in others it is necessarily a science. Sleepy Of course... there may also be one where it is defined as a cannibal chicken and a flaming sword respectively FSM Grin

Quote:sooo..., which is much better to deal with...

facts?? or logic???

That depends on what you mean by 'deal with', and from then in which context? Smile

I do understand you to an extent... but then I am sometimes called 'no one' Sleepy

Your english can be a little difficult at times, but I can usually pull through what you mean (or at least a legible sentence from what you write) ^_^

Or even from a lack of questions. Anything that does not hold a belief in a god (or gods) is necessarily an atheist by the definition that an atheist is a lack of a belief in a god or gods Smile

Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
