Atheism and Purpose

[Edward the Theist]

Common sense is an appeal to popularity; nothing more, nothing less. It is a fucking fallacy and the lamest argument for validity I know. Everyone on the planet should let go of that horrible concept and never speak of common sense as if it is even a meaningful term.

Well strictly speaking common sense is what the general populace believes through their senses to be true, in that respect it applies to pretty much every validated scientific theory. You can interpret it how you like, but so can everyone else

I'm with AB on this one. Most truths are very simple to comprehend. E=MC^2; very simple algebra. F=MA; even simpler. And these are the math formulas that explain vast amounts about our physical universe. So, I think there's something to be said for common sense.

But then I'm not cool, am I? So, there goes my credibility.
