Re: Purpose
Atheism is defined by what type of person is using it and for what purposes they are using it
So I am in cohorts with Josef Stalin? I am an Atheist and he was an Atheist,. The only thing we had in common was the fact that we don't believe in sky daddies. Other than that I detest him amd all like him Atheist or not such individuals as Adolph Hitler (Christian), Tojo (Shintoist), Osama Bin Laden (Muslim). There is nothing that irks me more than the assumption that because a person is an Atheist, he is evil, pure bullcrap.

Re: Purpose
I called no one evil and you you missed the point totally of my post.
Maybe, but it appears you are calling me evil because I am an Atheist.
From your earlier post
Atheism is defined by what type of person is using it and for what purposes they are using it
My point is this is not so. Atheism is simply a non-belief in supernatural or other type sky-daddies, nothing else.

Re: Purpose
To demonstrate my point that you accept, believe and incur as fact, (evolution) and its entire process as fact, though having never seen what actually took place, I ONLY NEED TO REFER TO YOUR ABOVE STATEMENT, which is a small part of a gigantic process, all of which has not been so easlily demonstrated
As it stands, such will be, but if at a later date, conflicting data is shown to be more reliable than the current data, the idea, theory, etc. is changed.
thus:
Newton to Einstein, Gravity
Copernicus to Kepler, Heliocentrism
Mendeleev to Seaborg, Periodic Law
All of these accepted facts were altered based on data the originator did not have. That is the role of science.
The point which this topic is trying to show, meaning has no meaning except by what can be logically determined according to the data present and there is no meaning of anything except by evidence pointing to this data.

Re: Purpose
Very colorful but of little help considering the fact that design is obvious and can be logically determined according to the data present
The appearance of design is obvious, but design is not.
Take a crystal of sodium chloride. It is a perfect cube, it appears designed, but when analyzed it simply shows that it is a natural shape do to the size of the ions. A huge chloride ion with 8 tiny sodium ions around it and in this lattice each tiny sodium ion is surrounded by 8 chloride ions called a body centered cube, natural from the ions, no design needed, but yet it has the appearance of design.
