Little Rik, you claim that, because all small things eventually merge into big ones, that is evidence that atheism is unscientific, but I ask you: why does your heaven and your god have to be the only big thing into which the dead merge upon the ending of their life? Dead organisms do merge into a greater whole, by decomposing into the soil and feeding plants and animals which will live on for generations. That still fits your definition of science without assuming that a magic man in the sky must be the only way for a small thing to become part of a larger whole.

He still doesn't understand the difference between atheism and all the other things he assumes all atheists believe such as naturalism. How someone can be on a forum for so long and learn nothing about the subject matter of the forum is astounding. He's far from the only one though.
I explained it again right away in reply to his opening post. To no avail. Feel free to send me a private message.

Thank lawd, we have someone who speaks his language!
Nope.
I was done reading when you said a cell is conscious.

That still fits your definition of science without assuming that a magic man in the sky must be the only way for a small thing to become part of a larger whole. If you read the OP you would have understood that a certain type of cell determine a certain type of behaviour like eating meat lead the person to be aggressive while eating veg. food lead to peace of mind. By eating certain food we follow a line of behaviour given to us from certain cells. Why then would this line of behaviour change in us? Why the consciousness in us would change once our body die? According to a scientific point of view the line follow the same behaviour in the good or in the bad. What then is good and what is bad? We have to consider that nothing stay the same. Everything move and change but this change follow the same line of behaviour so from good you follow the good and from the bad you follow the bad. Peace of mind lead to expansion while aggressivity lead to narrowness. Expansion is limitless or infinity which in yoga terms is better known as cosmic consciousness or God. But of course according to an atheist point of view everything is relegated to matter and matter is narrowness.

You presume that the earth or matter is something sort of solid that will always be what it is now. According to yoga matter is the solidification of something much more subtle like God thoughts so what goes down must soon or later come back up. Uranium is on the way up, plants too, animals too and so man. Everything change and move. What we give back to earth is not us. The consciousness is not made of matter. We surely evolved from matter but the consciousness within the matter wake up long long time ago and now that we evolved to the human stage our consciousness doesn't really want to go back to the stage of matter and start the journey from small to big once again. No thanks. Unless of course you strongly believe in matter. In that case the chances to go back to matter are a real possibility. But no, anyone with a tiny amount of brain matter would avoid that stage as ebola.

You've been working on something, and come to conclusions. What can you do to minimize your own bias and errors? This has nothing to do with atheism, so it's irrelevant to randomly slag it off. But by all means do it again. You know what you remind me Rob? Those students that after listening to the teacher they still can't get it so they need private tutoring to get the message clear in their mind. The thing is that a tutor get paid while i am here doing all this for free. Is not fair. Anyway i try to put it in a slight different way hoping that you finally get the message. I did show you that if you understand how mother nature works and if you follow her line of logic you have a very good chance of not doing mistakes. The problem is however not so simple as to understand mother nature require an open mind. A dogmatic person that fence off his mind prevent the challenge and therefore the possibility to change for the better. Religious people are such people. Anyone who think that with the physical death everything is over are also such type of people. So to summarise i say to you that the best way to minimize errors is to go with an open mind and to expect the unexpected.
Actually, I was trying to get you to realize the important step missing from your "scientific method". But it seems it's not going to happen.
I'll fill you in: getting others to reproduce your method and test your results. Feel free to send me a private message.
