Percy, people say you are a deist? but in message 290 in "Why so friggin' confident?" you said this:
​
"He's not saying that higher confidence should be placed in his incomplete evidence than in yours. What it boils down to is that you don't have any evidence related to the key question, whether there's any such phenomenon as God at all."
​
If you believe there is no such a phenomenon as God, what kind of a deist could you be? And why would being an atheist necessarily be a bad thing or a negative label?
​
He is not stating his beliefs, he is giving a conditional statemet in regards to a Statement by Bertot
​
The title of this thread is CONFIDENCE, not comprehensice, without any shadow of a doubt evidence. From this it has moved to a discussion and definition of belief and faith, from that to what is evidence, etc, etc.
​
Actually, this thread is about why you're more confident in your beliefs about God than about things that have been established using facts and evidence gathered from the natural world using the scientific method
​
You are taking a line out of context and "putting words in Percy's mouth."

Evidently this topic is supposed to show why we atheists are Nonsensical.
​
Which of the following statements which I have made here or on other forums are nonsensical.
​
1) Obama is a better choice that McCain.
2) Rap is not music.
3) Given the size, the ark could not have held all the animals and food.
4) Skin color, Religious belief or sexual orientation should not be used to judge a person.
5) Theories are the best way to interpret the data given.
6) Paedophiles do not necessarily abuse children.
7) Genesis 2 contradicts Genesis 1.
​
or my 2 signatures below:

Thank you, you just showed what I was trying to say, none of the things I said had anything to do with atheism but just my opinions of various things. With the exception of the fist point, all of the opinions I posted I had before I became an atheist.

This is how the sensation of touch is transferred between atoms, through electrical signaling. This is offtopic but we are much closer to being an electromagnetic phenomenon, than a body of solid matter, despite the illusion created by your brain.

All chemical reactions are electrical in nature. Bridges are painted to prevent the reaction of 4Fe + 3O2 (HOH)---> 2Fe2O3
