Verification. Multiple senses and the senses of others to help verify. We work with what we've got. Scientific principles help a good deal.

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.

Because the warm fuzzy blanket of superstition is more comforting to folks raised with the religious impulse than the alternative. Especially all that icky death stuff. Recorded human history has existed for about 10,000 years. My guess is that the future age when god no longer "has to exist" will look back at this belief with as much disdain as we do now at the superstitions that persisted during the dark age.
Reminds me of the beginning of Sirens of Titan where Vonnegut talks about the present being the "nightmare ages".

We don't always which is why we use technology.
Good response. So, you don't know your sense are valid. But that's why you use technology. Do you use your senses to operate and read the data from this technology?
Don't tell me, don't tell me...
So how do you know the validity of your interpretation of the technological measurements, right?
Therefore god is real, game set and match?

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Like napo said. Science and Math. Math is not flawed and concepts can be proved with math and mathematical models.
Even so not once have you explained a good purpose of god. Or evidence. Or anything. So you can shove your bible where the sun don't shine.

How fucking stupid can a person get?
I can see the garbage you are posting on our forums. I can smell your stank all the way from my side of the internet. I can hear the bells going off in my head telling me I'm dealing with an idiot. I can feel my dick slap you across the face. And I surely don't want to know what you taste like, but if I had to guess, it would be pretty god damned fucking awful.
It's reality. Deal with it.

Not sure if I'm comfortable drawing Zeus. I dont want to upset the ancient Greeks.

How do you determine the correct interpretation of others senses with your own if you can't depend on them?
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.

Evidence. Remember we must work with what we've got. Principles help a great deal. Like Occam's Razer and the like. I'm not surprised that you don't understand. God did it, must of been the only answer you've ever used.
