What came first, the atheist or the theist?

RE: What came first, the atheist or the theist?
Quote:You are predisposed to a certain point of view and belief system,
Science isn't a belief system.

Quote:and everything you find or think you find supports what you are predisposed to believe.
What supports my belief and what is that belief you think I have? I judge based on probability and credibility. Not hard to understand. Your beliefs have no credibility hence why I don't believe in it.

Quote:Your assumption that you know something leads you to believe that you know
My assumption that I know something? Please point it out.

Quote:I wouldn't quite call it arrogance as it is based more on blindness than anything else.
I think it's arrogant and blind for you to claim to 'know' god's existance.

Quote:The same applies to the majority in the scientific community
The scientific community have some of the brightest minds, I wouldn't be so quick to call them arrogant. Since when has belief in god accomplish anything good?
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.
