Blind faith and evolution

[christcahinkilla]

i posted that before i saw your pope hat, and sure you can use that hypocritical shit with me all you want 'prophet' the guy told me he was going to rush me with his riech that he was building, good luck justifying banning me and i hope you think about how much of a hypocrite you are when you do, goof!

you don't know that it's true, just like creationists don't know that creation is true, do you see the hypocrisy?

Well the theory of evolution is on as good a footing as most any other scientific theory. No hypocrisy here. If you really think evolution has no more claim to being considered true than the theory of divine creation, why do you call yourself an atheist? Agnostic at most, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Evolution has evidence. Divine creation has none. That seems to me to be an important difference.

well it was more along the lines of this question right here:

at what point did inorganic material turn into organic life forms and what caused it?

and i dnt claim to be an athiest, they are dogmatic, just another religion to me, both are the same and equally unbalanced.

i am anti-religious

I do not yet know my origin, and neither do you.

Again, this is not part of the theory of evolution.

how is a belief that no god or gods existing not dogmatic if the idea is not testable by today's level of reason?

Everyone is telling you that atheism is lack of belief in God and now you say that atheism is dogmatic because it believes that God doesn't exist.

Nobody mentioned banning you. Yet. Insulting the staff over the application of the rules isn't exactly helping your case, you know. Play the poor "pity me" martyr card all you like; it cuts no ice with me.

nah i aint feeling bad for myself, i can admit that i don't know whether a god or gods exist, i feel bad for you.

so then atheism has no idea about how life started?

Atheism is a metaphysical position. I have no belief in gods because there is no evidence of their existence.

That does not dictate that I have a particular belief about anything else.

You are conflating multiple concepts.

Jesus lemur Christ, I don't know either if God doesn't exist. FFS "I don't believe in God" doesn't mean "I believe God is not real".

You should post more often.

Reading your posts is like watching an arrow hit it`s target on spot!

Oh I see. Well in that case, I don't give a shit. Thanks all the same.

yes I have maybe not worded what I was trying to say very well,

a belief should be conclusion based, tested and proven.

to dismiss an idea before it is tested is not smart, now if you were to say "I do not believe in a god or gods because mankind does not yet have the sophistication to test or know such things" you'd be a little closer to having an open mind.

but you are using the word belief here. that carries something stronger, even if it is used in the negative 'do not belief' it is a belief and you have not yet done the tests to have such a stance in that subject.

dogmatic.
