Evidence for God

You sure about that? Because a great many people who do believe in god(s) also value both scientific research and logic.I expect that some Bayesian calculations would show that of all the people who value both scientific research and logic, believers outnumber atheists.

Cool it, man.I was only questioning your numbers. Can you back up your statement that most people who value scientific research and logic don't believe in gods?

Your original statement, however, was not about scientists. It was about "most people".I hope you don't think that only scientists respect scientific investigation and logic.As for scientists having difficulty believing in something that is not backed up by any evidence, I guess that's an occupational hazard.

Actually, on backtracking, I found it was Deftil (post 14), but as long as you are in accord with the sentiment I agree, it doesn't matter who originally said it.

Thanks for the clarification. I have no problem with the first part of the sentence. The last part, as you said, was an exaggeration and that is the part I took issue with.
