What came first, the atheist or the theist?

RE: What came first, the atheist or the theist?

Well personaly, I don't believe that you know. You think you know from my point of view since I don't think it's possible to 'know' if there is a god or not. So since you claim to know there is a god, do you care to prove to us that god exists? Some evidence maybe?

Quote:I wondered if any gnostic atheists could explain how there's no god.
Well I don't know if this forum has any gnostic atheists. I'm agnostic atheist so I can't help you here. I don't believe it's possible to know whether a god exists or not. All I'm interested in is if there are any theists out there that will actually try to prove their claims with actual evidence. I have never incountered a theist who could actually support his/her claims.

Quote:I'm no good at explaining how I know that god exists
It's probably because you can't. Any explanation you give will be met with heavy criticism due to it's total lack of credibility.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
