Given that atheists are unwilling to stoop to dishonesty and fraud we're fighting an uphill battle against an enemy willing to deploy vastly more powerful weapons.
My (comic) example below also commits fallacy of virtue; despite Tipler having status and reputation he's not necessarily correct- I merely imply that he IS because of his credentials.
This faulty logic is rife throughout the God Delusion. My point is that if Rich wants to argue Judaism, do it in Aramaic Hebrew; Koine Greek for Xianity,; and Arabic for Islam (ie. do Theology). Find inconsistencies within religions themselves; don't just call them "delusional" and expect a clap
Thanks again for your help, i really enjoyed the book and its useful to get another take on it because i really want to understand it properly. Talk to you soon.
1. Scientists use logic and observable phenomena to construct theoretical explanations of the world.
2. I recently talked to Frank Tipler (head of Maths AND Physics at Tulane University) who formulated the scientific formula for the physical resurrection of the dead at the end of time.
3. conclusion= Tipler is a 'smashing' scientist, and resurrection is a fact= EPIC FAIL.
please read my comments again. FOLLOW THE LOGIC. Are you denying that Frank Tipler (actually, physically) wrote such an equation?
Of course the above statement was ludicrous, IT DEMONSTRATES AN EXAMPLE OF FALSE LOGIC; whether the statement is true or not is entirely another matter.
Why do people have such problems understanding logic?!?! :'(
And no science and religion do not always contradict, particularly forms of Buddhism (atheistic, denies the supernatural).
1. Jewish marriage procedures are outlined in Torah, Talmud, and especially in Mishnah Kiddushin ; e.g. Deuteronomy 22:28
2. Here are three observant Jews.
3. Conclusion= Since they are 'observant' Jews, the words of just 3 individuals give weight (proof) to his argument.
-I agree with Dawkins statement, but this logic is faulty
