Do you ever doubt your atheism?

To the original poster at the beginning of the thread.

Stephen Hawkings "A God is not required"

Instead of insisting on a prime mover or cause, you need to consider that you are making up your own idea of what you want a "god" to be. "In it's purest form" by what scientific study do you define "purest form". This is the same flaw gap filling theists make.

You accept the fact that hurricane does not have a cognition causing it then why would the universe need a cognition either? If you are going to go by the idea that nature itself is a god, that is absurd too.

Instead of insisting on using a vacuous word like "god" just say "i don't know" and wait for science to figure out what is going on.

Trying to re define a word rooted in ancient myth and create a new age si fi woo meaning is absurd.

I do not like it when standard religions fill in the gap like that and I do not like it when atheists or new agers try it either.

"All this" is really no different than the seasons changing, a giant weather pattern without a cause or cognition . QM is not license to fill in gaps. The universe is freaky enough without inserting any kind of myth or woo into a gap.

What you are mentally doing without being aware is trying to justify an eternity and the reality is that we are finite.
