a distinction between agnosticism and atheism is unwieldy and depends on how close to zero we are willing to rate the existence of any given god-like entity. Since in practice it is not worth contrasting a zero probability with a probability that is nearly indistinguishable from zero, he prefers to categorize himself as a "de facto atheist". He specifies his position by means of a scale of 1 to 7. On this scale, 1 indicates "100 per cent probability of God." A person ranking at 7 on the scale would be a person who says "I know there is no God..." Dawkins places himself at 6 on the scale, which he characterizes as "I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there", but leaning toward 7. About himself, Dawkins continues that "I am agnostic only to the extent that I am agnostic about fairies at the bottom of the garden."

no matter how he tries to distort definitions of technical terms.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

* That we can live full, meaningful lives, without religious doctrines, by relying for rationality, honesty, cooperation, fairness, and respect for each other.
* That we use democratic principles, logic, and scientific inquiry to find realistic solutions to problems.
* That we foster good ethics, virtues and critical thinking in our children to help them grow to be decent, responsible and active members of society.
* That we protect and improve the Planet for future generations by scientific breakthroughs, in medicine and technology and by not inflicting needless suffering on other species.
* That separation of religion and state is upheld in all levels of government to ensure equality and fairness for all.

Matter cannot be created or destroyed, correct? So how did it get there in the first place?

I think our minds are very limited in thought and we can't comprehend something out of nothing, yet there has to be. It sometimes blows my mind if I think about it too much, then I have to lay down and smoke a bowl.
