The faith of a suicide bomber affects the physical world
LOL!Really? Let us test this idea. Let us take 2 suicide bombers A and B each with a equal amount of faith. I will take A who has no bomb into a fortified bunker. You, take B, who is packing 40 pounds of C-4 into a seperate fortified bunker.
Then we take turns insulting their faith and at the end of 5 minutes we will see who is still how much damage mere faith does compared with dfaith plus C-4
Earlier this month, love affected the physical world, specifically Feb. 14th
Love is an emotion,physical is basis,why would it not affect the world?
hope is what kept the guy clinging to the telephone pole after the tsunami, his physical world was affected
Hope or stubborness?
atheism
1. Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods.
2. The doctrine that there is no God or gods.
-Godlessness; immorality.
Number one is a poor definition since,in order to disbelieve one must first acknowledge an existence.Denial can only be implemented for something that presents itself to be denied.Since god does not present evidence of itself then this is also a poor definition.
Godlessness is close.Immorality is just plain wrong and insulting.
Def 1 says it can be both the lack of belief of god OR the belief in no god. Def 2 clearly show that your statement "Atheism is not the belief that there is no god." is wrong.
Lack of belief is good,lack of belief in god is not. It does not say OR belief in no god it says DENIAL of god and both are inaccurate.
Now, my point that you misunderstood (or perhaps avoided) was that the Principle of Parsimony does not rule out the existance of god.
Since god does not exist in any way that can be shown it therefore rules itself out.A universe that obeys laws naturally without a guiding entity is obviously less complex than one that does.That the universe is mysterious and hard to comprehend has never meant that it need be operated from a invisible immaterial unknowable ? does it?
The things I'm trying to explain aren't detected by physical laws, niether a finite nor infinite number of them, so this argument falls apart.
Really? Just what are they detected by?
