Are We Living In God's "Matrix"?

[sswhateverlove]

SS, you don't even seem to understand the difference between "agnostic" (a position of knowledge) vs. atheism (a position of belief).

A person can be both, simultaneously.

How do I know? I iz one: an agnostic atheist.

Back to my model -- you're demonstrating unconscious incompetence. Again and again.

Is there a reason why you (and many of the other posters) insist on being insulting when it would do just well to respectfully clarify where you think I might misunderstand something? That's why I am here, to get feedback with regard to other people's opinions, not to be insulted.

I have been researching at a graduate level using peer reviewed sources.

What university, if you don't mind me asking?

Despite your claim, many respected scientists are agnostic.

Never said they weren't. Atheism and agnosticism are NOT mutually exclusive.

The vast majority of atheists are agnostic.

Tyson actually did a lecture on intelligent design where he encouraged people to spend more time focusing on why some (25% he claims) of the most respected scientist are not completely denying the possibility of intelligent design, because that's where things are getting very interesting.

No scientist completely denies the possibility of ID! They just don't believe it because there is a lack of evidence for it.

Scientists, as you should know, are not dogmatic. They follow where the evidence leads.

I just listened to a lecture by Jerry Coyne, leading evolutionary biologist, world's expert on speciation, and atheist. One of the first things he mentions in his lecture is that he is opened to evidence of ID. He is not unique in this.

Ok, I respect that. So, I've posted different things that I've been finding with regard to scientific evidence regarding reality and I've given my opinion and asked for others. How about addressing that vs attacking me for assuming that you've ruled out the possibility of ID?
