I was addressing the person that claimed scientists have found "millions of earth like planets"

It's simply false.

Oh. Whoops, had to read that post three times. I thought you were referencing the final sentence of that post. Didn't see that claim in the middle, it was muddled with so much misinformation that I'd of been doing my brain a disservice to retain any of it anyway.

I'm sure googling the same info you googled to find your one post, the number of been exaggerated, may of not, but still doesn't change the point. Guess a true Aethist you are though, trying to grasp at straws for any argument you can, so you pick out the one thing that you still don't have credible proof of. I applaud you though and give you a 9/10 for effort.

Are you trying to imply that atheists and skeptics think aliens don't exist?

No the implication was at the absurdity to assume those can exist yet a God couldn't. No matter what theory or ideas an Aethist can come up with, it can be tied to the possibility of a God existing unless they legitimately think we are the only existence possible. In that case there is no hope at all for them.

Yet me make sure this is clear also. I'm not saying that it is the God that me and the majority of the planet believe in, but the possibility of a God is there, is it the one we believe it? Maybe, maybe not, I believe it is, but doesn't change the fact that logic still points in the direction of the possibility of there being one.

The main point is the differentiation between "a god" and the Christian Yahweh. Even Dawkins and Hitchens both admitted to the possibility of higher forms of life/intelligence in several debates.

One of the issues I have is that the powers that be tend to lump everyone in the "non-religious" category into the atheist category. Myself being an agnostic anti-theist, I have a problem with that.

That said, I do see where you are coming from.

I don't think you quite understand the concept of "logic."

By your thought process, don't we also have to disprove the existence of leprechauns and unicorns? I mean, we haven't seen them, we have no evidence whatsoever that they exist, but can we REALLY rule out the possibility that they might be out there somewhere? Maybe they're just on a different planet!

You're also completely wrong if you think the number of christians on this planet is anywhere close to a "majority," but whatever helps you sleep at night.

This is the worst post ever. Atheists don't know how to debate evidently.
