I don't see how see why someone would argue using that statement... Me neither. Yet they do it all the time - albeit in different guises. On one multi-religion forum I post it is pretty much the only argument I ever hear from Christians, Muslims and New-agers. So much so that my sig on that forum i...

But why does our very human and mutual lack of knowledge make you right and others wrong? I think this question...non sequitor, I don't see how one causes the other. I'm just saying I don't see how a person can argue "no one knows everything" in support of any particular answer to life's ...

Nice to hear your mother is fit as a fiddle 8)! Thanks Thinker. In fact she was so bad the ambulance crew took her for dead when they first saw her in the road. It was a scary time and has been a remarkable recovery. Proverbs 3 is a great chapter on wisdom, give it a spin :wink:! I occasionally rea...

We are capped off at human knowledge. There is far to much complex matter everywhere. I agree. We really know no more about our universe than a goldfish in a bowl knows about its city of residence. This is why I concede that there might be a god - even the one of the bible. But why does our very hu...

Of course there is evidence for creation. ... trees ... atomic structure ... galexies of space ... my experience ... my logic, my reason, my guilt I sincerely cannot see why these things are evidence for deity-creation. Trees are evidence that trees exist; atomic structure is evidence that atomic t...

Then, by definition, you are not an atheist-you are an agnostic. Thank you, KMart. I can only take that as a complement, considering you have such a disdain of atheism that you liken it to theism. Presumably you consider those you label agnostic to be free from faith and religion and arrogance, unl...

Atheism rejects all that, so we might as well "do whatever we can get away with" in this life, but because that is all there is. This position undermines anykind of ethical world-view, i.e. The ends will always justify the means. Surely you are mixing what you think ought to be with what ...

Theism-Belief that there is a God Atheism- A belief that there is a God. ..............No belief that there is a God. Anyone can play pedantics with semantics to "prove" a point and so it proves nothing, KMart. atheism is more arrogant-it says that EVERYONE ELSE on the planet, 95%+ of the...

Atheism is just as bad as Theism

Here is a collection of comments I have just picked up whilst reading some threads: you seem to be saying that only Christians say they are right...Atheists say there is no God, which is saying everyone else is wrong. ... atheists may say that no theistic/pantheistic religion is correct, but only be...

Yes - "sentient beings" explanations are doubly flawed. They are the product of wonder as I pointed out and they answer nothing as you point out.

However, There are physical laws, and true science. These are independant of our descriptions and are in my opinion constant and absolute. Guess what - I largely agree once more. LOL. But if there are constant absolutes to be discovered I would consider them to be in the realm of mathematics and lo...

ALIENS MADE LIFE ON EARTH Maybe aliens did, though I don't believe it either, KMart Aliens sounds to me like a case of argument from wonder. A person is so in awe of how unable they are to explain a thing that they "short circuit" to a fantastical answer. Yet the answer itself is, in fact...
