Quote:1000s of years ago there were a group of scientists who claimed that the earth was not flat and was not the center of the universe, it was in fact just another planet rotating around the sun in an orderly fashion.If you look carefully, they didn't just assume this. It was after long observation that they concluded that the earth was just one of many.
Unlike them, you are assuming without anything as evidence.
Evolution was once just an idea, it became more than that once evidence really started to pile on. Now, it's acknowledged globally as a scientific fact.
God, is nothing but an assumption. We need evidence and reason for it to be anything more than that.
Observing the stars and claiming that there's a god are two very different things. One is based on early observation, the other nothing but claims, baseless assumptions.
It's not scientific to just assume it's true. It doesn't work that way.
Quote:Same thing, if you are lucky you can wait until the second coming of Jesus or when another prophecy of this religion comes true in order to accept God...What if he never turns up? What if it was false from the start? We've got nothing to verify it with. I with-hold judgement until I see some kind of evidence. I won't just assume it's true or just take your word for it.
Quote:until then, stay safe in these uncertain and godless times....I plan too.
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.
