What Is The Positive Evidence For Atheism?

quote:

---

If given the choice between evolution and an Intelligent Designer with no middle ground I would probably opt for ID myself

---

Why on earth would you do that?ID is intellectually bankrupt.

quote:

---

If evolution meant embracing Atheism then I would have to reject it.

---

Then that would make you willfully ignorant.That would mean you would reject reality in favor of religious belief.That would mean that your thought processes and reasoning, in that scenario, are no better than Hovind, or LindaLou.I guess, when it comes right down to it, you would rather deny reality than give up your susperstition.Wow. All I can say is, wow.And we wonder how people could think that flying planes into buildings would get them a ticket to heaven.

quote:

---

Do you really think that prayer done as part of a test like that really counts as prayer.

---

Sure, why wouldn't it?

quote:

---

Let's all get together and manipulate God.

---

God would purposefully not intercede in the healing of perfectly innocent sick people just to spite the researchers?What a dick.Anyway, how do you tell the difference between a prayer that was answered and a coincidence?

quote:

---

Prayer is not about trying to beg God into doing our will, although I suppose that is the common perception.

---

So, you are the arbiter of what prayer is for, suddenly?

quote:

---

Then I will promptly point out that all Atheists are evolutionists

---

Except for the Raelians, right?

quote:

---

Since all Atheists are evolutionists

---

Except for the Raelians.I've told you this three times and you have yet to make any response.Raelians are Atheists but do not accept the Theory of Evolution.That means that it is NOT TRUE that all Atheists are Evolutionists.

quote:

---

The vast vast majority of Atheists are evolutionists. It is not inaccurate to say "all Atheists are evolutionists."

---

Er, since when does "all" mean exactly the same thing as "most"?If Raelians are Atheists who also do not accept the ToE, then not ALL Atheists are Evolutionists.If you give me $100 to keep safe for you, and when you asked for ALL of it back I gave you $80, would you consider it OK?If ALL and MOST mean the same thing, it shouldn't matter, right?Edited by nator, : No reason given.
