Organic Molecules Found 400 Light Years From Earth

Let me ask this (I am trying really hard to understand your point of view). We live in a universe that we observe. You have come to the conclusion (at least I think), not God. Did you come to that as a presupposition or based on evidence or lack thereof?
Upon the combination of evidence and the lack thereof.  There is a vast pool of irrefutable evidence regarding what gods actually are (as in, even if gods were real in some other sense, they would still be x, y and z)....meanwhile, there is no evidence whatsoever that they are what believers propose them to be or to have done - and simultaneously the things that believers propose are explained by evidenced things other than gods as well as completely refuted by evidence of what was -not- done..ever, by a god or anything else.  

Once upon a time, I didn't have an opinion on whether or not there was a god or no god - I simply didn't believe in one. Your collective claims eradicated my agnosticism. Your gods do not exist, and your many claims have exhausted both my patience and my rational suspension of disbeleif with regards to "some other god, then" claims.

I'm a gnostic atheist. I don't mind telling you that your god, all gods, and the very notion of god.... is rank bullshit. Wink Additionally, I'm an ethical antitheist, which is to say that even if I were wrong, against all evidence, it wouldn't matter. I still couldn't be a follower of christ, for example. I refuse to kill the better man for my own transgressions. A more complete refutation of god claims could not be offered. Not only is there evidence against them, there is no evidence for them...and if they somehow managed to be true despite all of that - it wouldn't matter a single iota to me.

Quote:Shy Well...I would get rid of them, but my wife wants to keep them around for the grandchildren (4 so far). So...I guess you get to purchase a shiny new 3d printer.  I saw one at Sam's Club a while back. I think it was 800 or so and then, of course, you have to but the polymer too. Hopefully, they are cheaper now.
Tell your wife to be quiet while men are speaking, as god intended?  JK

Nah man, I don't want a cheap one, I have other uses for it - custom irrigation and valve assemblies. The ones I'm looking at run 10-12k minimum without support or ancillary tool mounts. I fuigure making a few million legos before I try something more critical would be a way to practice on the cheap, lol. I need something that can assemble pieces capable of withstanding upwards of 800psi and 100c at a minimum and can be chemically welded.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
