Scientific evidence of God by an atheist (Where mankind is one likely type of God)

We'll then have even less patience to endure the next thread, and it will lead to an exponential explosion of them. Before long, we'll be facing the singularity of font laden threads which threatens the very existence of this discussion forum.

I think the only solution is to shut down the forum.

You need not agree. [Said statistics occur irregardless]

You merely need observe said statistics.

You needn't believe, nor emote thereafter.

Albeit, are you of theistic nature?

[...for theists tend to ignore scientifically observed statistics, and therein, ignore the existence of said trivially accessible evidence, on the horizon of EMOTIONAL BIAS]


It is rather observable therein, that AF's prominent members are but, narrow in thought cycles.

I ergo, in the like, lament that this thread is terminated.

[*A*]

Simply, aforesaid statistics persist on the boundary of prominently religiously described Gods. [As encoded amidst the original post]



[*B*]


Re-Stipulation:

Tradition (theistic deity definition) contains (on the horizon of scientifically observable probabilities/statisticsnon-evident properties.


In contrast, the definition (as observed in the original post) reduces traditional deity-bound properties, abound scientifically observable probabilities/statistics, such that a particular property is evident - thusly the ability to forge non-trivial intelligence, and thereafter, said intelligence shall likely exceed the net intelligence of the creator's(s') species...whilst separately theist-theorized properties [omniscienceomnipotence etc] likely shan't obtain, particularly on the horizon of aforesaid observable probabilities/statistics.)


Thusly, God is properly statistically definable, as observed amidst the original post.  (Only the theistic mind adheres to the concept of omniscient, omnipotent deities)

Separately, here are 20 God definitions, via international dictionaries:

1.[wikipedia] 
In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe.

2.[merriam-webster]

The perfect and all-powerful spirit or being that is worshiped especially by Christians, Jews, and Muslims as the one who created and rules the universe

10.[assemblyoftrueisrael]

If you can't, I'm OK with going our separate ways.

What do you think?

I have not any opinion.
Rather, I stipulate scientifically observed/observable statistics.

Wow, nice dodge. 

OK, my manner is nonsensical, that is your opinion about me. I'll ask again, Can you explain why you feel it is necessary to draw attention to your words/posts with manipulation of font, size, and color? If you don't respond what am I suppose to think? 

And dodge again. I answered your "descent" question, you neglected to answer mine, so I'll ask again. What is your religious descent? Are you going to respond or evade?

[*A*]
I have not any opinion/faith/belief.
Simply, your commentary
contains inaccurate blather.

[*B*]
I am of christian descent
However, one need merely disable emotional bias, such that one observes that religion is nonsense.

Thereafter, I had doffed my religious bound 4 years prior [2012], thusly synonymously, I had encountered logic (atheism).

Post Scriptum: I am of course, atheistic.

Only half answered, and still can't drop the text manipulation. 

You are a petulant child. I'd suggest that you grow up but I doubt that you have the ability.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

RE: Scientific evidence of God by an atheist
No ProgrammingGodJordan. I'm not theistic in nature. If you look beside my avatar I have listed myself as a gnostic atheist, meaning that I believe that a god does not, and cannot exist. I'm a professional researcher in AI, although I am currently working in Bioinformatics. I appreciate that people and animals are biological machines or wetware that have evolved.

The problem is that there is too much hype and fear mongering about the field and this will lead to yet another AI winter when it cannot deliver on what has been promised. If you look throughout the history of AI then this has happened many times already.

But continue believing it all if it makes you happy.

One need simply observe scientifically bound statistics.
