As the arguments against theism becomes more clearly and openly articulated, the mental gymnastics required to continue believing in archaic fantasies increases. Religion was entirely reasonable 100 years ago. Today, its just not something that an educated person should be able to believe.
+1 the world needs more of you to balance out the crazy sheepsies. WTB intellectual equilibrium for the human race, offering my "soul" as payment.

It's going to be really hilarious how people in about 1000 years view our current culture. Everything from our religions to our political views are going to seem utterly ludicrous and silly.

I'm sure they'll understand how we could be so ignorant, just as we have some understanding how people 1000 years ago could be so ignorant as to believe some man in the sky was responsible for plagues. I mean, they just didn't have any way to know what a virus or bacteria is.

Of course, apparently we have young nurses who still believe this today. I mean, since all life is created by god, then diseases must be attributed to the magical bearded fellow in the sky, yes?

And here it ends with the "hard" science nerds beating off to each other, praising the other for awesome they are at disproving nothing. The funny thing is that the burden is on you to disprove God. Science works like that. But you cannot. No scientist has ever been able to. So in step with science, you must admit that there is the possibilty that God exist. If you deny that, you are not truly scientist. Opps!

Bertrand Russell is philosophy, not science. Are you saying philosophical arguments are based in science?

Lol, this guy is really falling apart. Question his unshakable faith in god and suddenly he starts to lose it...

The burden is on you to disprove unicorns, and fairies, and Santa Claus. If you can't, then clearly those things must exist.

I invite you to go back through my posts and show where I said god definitely doesn't exist. You won't find me say that though, because that's not something I believe. I'm atheist in the sense that I don't believe in the Christian fairy tale god that grants you entrance into utopia if you just do what the priest tells you to do. But it would be pretty crazy to say "X doesn't exist" and be certain about it. Can't prove a negative and all. I'm sure you'll get to that kind of basic logic at some point in your education.

But I also don't choose to believe in things for which there is basically zero evidence. I don't arrange my life around the belief of the existence of unicorns. I don't spend my time building special saddles for unicorns and keeping a few bales of hay handy in case one drops by.

He's just another troll man, get used to him. He could easily and logically stop at "I don't believe evolution is necessarily correct but I also don't have a better answer yet" but insists on falling back on sky daddy instead.

And as a side note, can the "Hard" science Gods of RNF please direct me to your published works. I would be interested in reading them. Do you have published works? Or are you just taking some classes? Or maybe you work in the field of science, but you just don't really do much other than spout off crap your teachers told you when you were in school? Just wondering where you fall in the realm of science.

Yes, fantastic idea. I'll direct you to my published papers so that all the RnF trolls can have all of my personal info. Fucking brilliant, you are.
