Re: Ontological vs methodological
I really can't see why you are getting upset with Crash over what he said.
When I read his response, I thought it was about one of the nicest and most reasonable things he has ever written on this forum.
You should see the kind of stuff he writes to people once he has decided that they are jerks
This forum is all about learning, not just arguing a point.

Re: Ontological vs methodological
Funny, I thought it was all about evangelising myself. And learning not to take things too personally. And to have a bit of fun on the way. Its no fun if you take the fun out of fundimentalism
I dunno about that. Di-mentalism sounds like a very interesting concept.

Give me a break!!
Evolution is the basis of atheism (yes-the BELIEF there is no God)
I am so fed up with seeing this little gem of inaccuracy trotted out.
Crash beat me to it by pointing out that that atheism predates Evolution and therefore cannot possibly have it as a basis.
But my problem is that you have just joined the list of people who are telling ME what I believe in without actually trying to find out for real.
I am an atheist!
I LACK a belief in God. period.
I do NOT believe that there is no God.
I was an atheist long before I knew the first thing about evolution.
Oh and BTW. Welcome to EVC

Re: AHH NOT AGAIN
Seconded.
In the face of comments like that it becomes painfully obvious that we are wasting our time.
I also fear that we could easily slip back into the dark ages if this kind of thought becomes prevalent in those who make the laws.
This is the perfect example of why scientists fight so hard to keep ID and other nonsense, out of the class room
