Everything has some evidense supporting it in some way.

Everything is possible to be true or not true (there is some chance everything that makes it impossible are lies).

[CapeandCowl]

@Evrythn1outof8infnty uh...no. Everything does not have "evidense" supporting it. I mean, please tell me what the evidence for Thor is. Seriously, go ahead.

There is no evidence the Great Pumpkin exists. No evidence that Elvis is still alive. No evidence that Obama is a Muslim.....and no evidence that a sky god exists. One remains open minded toward new evidence, but no so open minded that your brain falls out.

one day my god shall come riding on the clouds with a loud trumpet call and he shall take his people to heaven and after 7 years he shall come back not as the lamb to slaughter but as the ing of kings and every knee shall bow

[CapeandCowl]

@tyree099 One day the chosen one, conceived by the midicholorians , will rise on a distant world and through his great power will bring balance to the force and vanquish the dark side.

Oh I'm sorry, did that seem like nonsense to you? Well, know you know how we feel reading your post. The desire to bow to a king is a desire to be nothing but a serf. I shall not bow to anyone who claims to themselves a kingship,neither would anyone who believes in freedom. Thankfully your god is a fairy tale.

Darcytirsia is beyond help but it was awfully nice of you to try. ;)

[diftorhehsmusma]

I don't understand why so many people have such difficulty with the phrase "I don't know." This is one of the "arguments" ID'ers have with evolution: that there are things as yet unexplained by evolutionary biology. Thus, naturally, the best choice is to jump straight to a tautological unmoved mover as the reason for all these things.

[Sinadins]

This Darcy guy sounds like an idiot.

[CapeandCowl]

yes.

you echo my point really. No evidence, no reason to believe it. The theist seeks to fill a lack of data with any explanation they choose.

[badpanda84]

Or that there is not enought evidence to support the claim that there is a God.

Have you heard of something in statitics called the Null hypothisis.

[CapeandCowl]

they can interpret it all they want, but if they do that they are dishonest.

When there is no data, or not enough data, the only really honest answer is I don't know.

[badpanda84]

The problem with

"I dont know" is that creationis impertate that as meaning "God did it"

[illusionsoffaith]

I like your stuff, I am sick of religious peaple telling me that Atheist BELIEVE.

It is a matter of UN-BELIEF. Atheism is NOT a BELIEF system.
