In Message 45 Agobot said:

I think you'll have an answer to this question when you can explain why the nonsense spurred by atheists gets a different treatment to nonsense brought forth by creatinists. Why is a certain kind of nonsense somehow more acceptable than another?
I asked him to clarify this, he said he'd do it in a new thread, this is this thread.
So, I'd like to ask Agobot (or anyone else for that matter) what "nonsense" he was talking about when he said that.

"How many atoms are in that bridge I mentioned above? Does not each of them have to "constantly move and interact in an organised fashion" just as surely and predictably as the atoms in your body? Is it your impression that bridge atoms behave differently than cell atoms?"
Care to explain also why this is nonsense? It seems to be a very viable question to the statement you made.
Sorry if this sounds like nonsense to you, but I just don;t see it.

Thanks, I was getting a bit confused here, it's becoming clearer to me now. As I thought, the comment was not nonsense, I should trust myself more

Short recap
Well, this thread has gone a short time now, so I thought I'd do a short recap.
When Agobot accused "atheists" of speaking nonsense, I became intrigued. I've known atheists on this board to be quite rational people, and while I may disagree with their opinions (not on the atheist part, mind you ), I've not really ever seen one say something that I would say is "nonsense".
That's why I started this thread, to see if he could back his claim up.
So far, Agobot, I must say I'm a bit disappointed. You provided the example of the atoms, yet I (and many others) don't see this as nonsense. It could be that there is a language problem, but so far (seeing as he seems to be able to write English very well) I don't see any evidence for it.
So, is there any other "nonsense" you can point us to, Agobot, or is this atoms example the best you could find?
