So... I had a request from a professor

RE: So... I had a request from a professor
The best arguement for atheism was devised by Betrand Russell and is called Russells Teapot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell's_teapot

And Occams razor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor

And if he says, so what do you think made the universe, just reply 'i dont know, but just because we do not know, does not mean god dunnit.'

God is not an explanation, but just a very low level cop out that shows a complete lack of thought and real knowledge.

That should suffice for now.

RE: So... I had a request from a professor
Ah thanks I will add those links.

I am actually going to order the Case against God off of amazon I think. It is only like $2.40 for a used paperback.

Here is what I have on my list so far I think this will probably be enough unless you guys think there is something else:
-----------------------------------------------------
Occam's Razor

Bertrand Russell's Teapot

The Demon Haunted World – Carl Sagan

Google: The invisible dragon in my garage – by Carl Sagan (also found in the above book)

Atheism: The Case Against God (George Smith)

Additional Authors:

Christopher Hitchens
Bertrand Russell,
Douglas Adams
Sam Harris
Fredrick Nietzsche

Youtube username videos to look for:

Thunderf00t,
DarkMatter2525
TheLivingDinosaur
