DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

[Everena]

Can you be more specific? And even if that were true, that does not make me "willfully ignorant in science and other subjects"

You're not even good at being a troll. YOU said the article said bacteria could be in two places at once ... when asked to quote the place it said that, you didn't and can't. 
Yes it does make you willfully ignorant, AND it makes you a liar.

That's what it says and here's the article again.  https://www.scientificamerican.com/artic...milestone/
Also, I do not lie. I may make a mistake due to the fact that I am human, but I do not lie and I do like being personally attacked regarding my integrity. You know NOTHING about me.

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about believers.

Same difference

[Bucky Ball]

Yet you just tried to use the 93 % argument including yourself .... how dishonest is that ?

Because the 93% is the percentage of people in the world who believe in God or a Higher Power. That does not mean that we are all religious.

The more education people have, the less belief they have. You should get some.

Troll it is, then.

Oh yes, and anyone who makes really good logical points, or doesn't agree with your misguided notions about what science can and can't prove is immediately called a troll. How dare they be so much smarter than you are?

I KNOW my god is real, and he told me there is no afterlife.  If you can appeal to personal experience for your certainty, so can I.  I’m right, and you’re wrong.

(In case you are still missing my glaring point, I’m giving you your own argument back to you. How does it sound?  I’m guessing, pretty shitty.)

[Whateverist]

Huh, imagine that.  Where I live about a third of the population reports as being religious.  I guess my city might be an anomaly.  Pretty lucky to live where so many people have seen the light.  

Being religious and having a belief in God or a higher power are not considered the same thing by most people. I am not religious, for example.

I'll bet you fooled more than me.  I guess you could call a potential god arising in consciousness a 'higher' power, but if you have a handle on what you believe which permits you not to hold it literally, do you think it is a good thing that so many other believers believe in something kind of out there?  I mean, maybe as atheists we are apt to be too reflexively dismissive, but is believing that obedience to an all powerful all knowing judging god is the true meaning of existence really all that uplifting?

[Astreja]

Oh, I don't think your beliefs are very similar to mine, Everena.  I see your god as a fictional character.

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about believers.

I suspect that not all believers subscribe to all of the tenets that you posted, so saying "our beliefs are all very similar" is hyperbole.

[Everena]

That article is just about scientists and also it is  just about the United States. And we believers comprise  93% of the world according to the best estimates. See for yourself. 73 cited scholarly cited sources.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism

Please explain how I have been "willfully ignorant in science and other subjects." I have so far only seen atheists on this thread being ignorant about science, so please be very specific. I do not hate atheism. I think it's a misguided delusion that you have all created for yourselves, but I do not hate it.

The fact that your comments are wrong

You mean because I don't happen to agree with your worldview? Other than that, what comments have I made that are wrong?

That was disproven by practically everyone under the sun. Nice try though.

[Astreja]

Calling our lack of belief "a misguided delusion that you have all created for yourselves" is vile bullshit. I did not choose to be a non-believer, but when I read pretentious pseudo-mind-reading crap like that, it comes as a relief that I don't believe.
