Don't be silly. MC Hawking wears glasses while Dr.Astro does not.

To be fair any atheist who says that he/she has found the "truth" is a fool, there are many questions that remain unanswered and science is all about trying to find answers to these questions. However with every question that gets answered several more questions will appear, making a neverending persuit of knowledge. It's fine to admit that we don't know everything however just because we don't know something doesn't mean that we need to make up stories about an invisible man in the sky.

Oh, so he went for the Clark Kent approach to superheroing? Go figure.

And, lastly, if you have any illusions people know how to think naturally, take and give them the Wason Selection Task

Or google it. A simple, 10-60sec one-question quiz that proves 90%+ of people can't even get basic, intro-level, logic right in a simple question where you simply need to flip over cards.

You can't reason without an understanding of logic you can have thoughts of course but... yeah. 90% fail the 1-1=0 level of logic, as proven by Wason.



[Chris Adam-Connor]

That's not even counting deductive atheology.

For example, you can prove there exist no object which is both "Round" and "Square" because they're mutually exclusive properties. I can prove there are no beings which are all-just and all-merciful. You can't disprove the supernatural, but you can disprove instances of it. I.E. Someones concept of a God.

Of course, they won't go, "You're right, my beliefs are foolish", they're ignore the problem or edit their god to fix that. But dumb is dumb.

[Chris Adam-Connor]

You obviously know nothing of logic or science; are a sophist trying to feel special.

I mean that dumb, "God of the Gaps" style argument there. There are fewer questions when you find out stuff, not more. Knowing more and asking different questions doesn't mean there's a never ending pursuit. There is a total limit of discoverable knowledge within the universe.

Educate yourself.

The lyric "the conclusion foregone" is used in relation to the dismissal of belief.based on the (Judeo-Christian) Bible. That is not how science operates. It would be like saying "Einstein's Theory of Relativity is correct because it adequately explains the functioning of the universe" is a foregone conclusion. Without actually doing testing to examine whether something is or is not correct, there can be no conclusions. Nothing can be 'foregone,' except in fundamentalist interpretation.

[Chibling]

Fundamentals of science: logic, evidence and reason. Fundamentals of religion: faith AKA gullibility.

[suitov]

Is it incredibly sad that my first thought on the first glimpse of The Fundamentalist was "hey, they drew him in HeroMachine!"?

[Carl Sagan]

hardly. dogmatic belief in facts and logic?

so whata
