I don't know if you noticed this...but you added this video on the same date that the game is supposed to be released this year in 2008! March 3rd 2008 is the release date now and you added this on March 3rd 2007! Whoa! :D
Damn i wish there was a demo for 1 or more of the editors in this game it makes me ancy to watch these videos and not be able to play this awesome game yet...arg
atheism is actually a religion in and of itself considering u believe through faith, that the big bang occurred and formed the universe and life with no way to recreate the effect. hence the term theory tacked on the front of the "theory of evolution".
No, no, no. Atheism is not a religion. It is simply the lack of belief in one or more deities. How hard is that to understand? That's ALL it is; lack of belief in God.
"If atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby". - James Randi
Of course no one knows for sure; we're all agnostic in respect to all Gods ever invoked by man, since we can never prove or disprove them (at least not yet). When it all comes down to it, belief is the only thing we have. I believe the sun will rise tomorrow, but I'm not absolutely sure - is that religion?
"I believe the sun will rise tomorrow, but I'm not absolutely sure - is that religion?"
this does not make much sense considering the belief or disbelief in a deity is not a requirement of a religion tho u use the phrase "but I'm not absolutely sure" which implied faith which is a staple part of religion even if its faith that the big bang and evolutionary theories are correct.(faith is a requirement of atheism since u cannot prove the big bang and evolution on a practical time line)
Atheists does not necessarily believe that The Big Bang or Evolution theory is correct, though most do. There's no belief or faith involved with atheism at all; it's an absence of belief in whatever God you invoke. Theism = belief, atheism = no belief.
the definition of Atheism is "a lack of belief in the existence of God or gods " this does not substitute as having no beliefs at all like u are saying, it purely deals with the belief in deitys making atheism a religion the big bang and evolutionary theories aside to be an atheist u have to have a belief in a theory about how the universe and life was created which requires faith(since unless u make them yourself out of nothing u cant prove them) in those beliefs.
That's what I said; atheism is the absence of belief in a deity. You seem to think that atheism covers a belief in questions regarding the origin of space, time and life, but it doesn't. Atheism covers only the question of whether a God(s) exists or not. I meant to write: theism = belief in God, atheism = no belief in God.
but that's the thing right there to be an atheist and not a nihilist or a theist u have to have a belief in how the universe and subsequent life is created making it by definition a religion, it does not matter how many beliefs it encompasses or if it believes in deitys to be a religion, like i said earlier Scientology has no deity in it but is a religion and would in fact technically fall under an atheist denomination as such.
You can be a nihilist and atheist at the same time. Nihilists believe that there's no objective meaning, purpose or truth behind life - therefor 'nihil', no meaning. Scientology is a non-theistic religion if you disregard that wacko alien they worship (there's not much difference between believing in a non-existing alien and a non-existing God). Atheism does not teach anything. There's no atheist code, atheist church or atheist being to worship.
now your making some seance, i think my initial phrase should have bean the religion of evolution(which in fact can be considers as an atheist religion for reasons listed earlier) I did in fact look up more about Scientology than any one ever needs to know, the creator deity for it is called the 8th something or other but is not the alien that killed aliens on earth.
thank u for an intriguing and enlightening debate its nice to find intelligent people every once in a while who do not give up and resort to profanity after a few posts :P
The broad definition of religion is that people believes in the supernatural and/or use something like stories or what is believed to be factual evidence to explain humankind's relationship with the universe which when u disregard the menial value of its name brings Atheism squarely into the realms of a religion.(e.g. Scientology is a non theist religion)
I think I know what you're getting at, but I don't agree that atheism is a religion. I can agree that humanism is a religion, which many atheists subscribe to, but not atheism. If so, then not believing in Santa Clause and fairies is a religion as well. I'd say it's more accurate to call it a conviction based upon present evidence (or in this case lack off). Atheism doesn't include any scriptures, codes or the worship of a higher being.
I think u are thinking of Nihilists who believe in nothing but that's not so with atheist and since there is a common thing every true atheist believes in just like theist believe in god/gods and that thing is the big bang and evolutionary theories being the only alternative(that i know of) between being a theist and a Nihilist and thus even without the belief in god/gods atheist still have a story to explain humankind's relationship with the universe and there for atheism is a religion.
No, I'm not confusing nihilism with atheism. Nihilists argue that there's no practical meaning or reason for life. Atheism does not mean believing that The Big Bang happened, and that evolution is correct - there's no belief that comes with atheism. I assume you don't believe that the Norse God Thor exist, correct? Then you're an atheist in respect to Thor. Is not believing that Thor exist a religion?
actually the definition of "nihil" is nothing and is why the word "nihilist" is used to describe people with no beliefs at all even to the extent of no conceivable morality.
that's kinda funny u say this when most people who are considered "scientists" and/or atheists like yourself push for macro evolution forcing children to learn it and accept it with no alternatives. to me this contradicts your statement and apparent belief that religion is the only one forcing things on others.
I've certainly thought from the beginning that the visual style should have been less cartoon, but this clip helps me sympathise with the realisation that it would consequently destroy the 'illusion of competence' by way of a sort of zoological Uncanny Valley.

I totally agree andiri03. But consider this if you will:
Everyone has a belief in God,
whether it is in His existence or
in His nonexistence, and by this, i mean that
Theists believe in the theory of God,
and Athiests believe that the theory of God is wrong.
But both are beliefs because they don't KNOW...
