Furthermore, I think that Carthage must be destroyed.

Hmm... That's not a fact. Asi did not say the god of the bible in his original post. And Jake did not say god of the bible in his response. So, as a result, I read things differently. Whenever someone says God, capitalized, they usually mean the god of the bible. And yet another atheist who betrays...

Sure, of course atheists can think of fictional things. But if it's fiction, it exists as fiction. My understanding is that atheists consider god to not exist. And, perhaps I worded it badly, but my original post in this thread was my confusion at why atheists would comment in a thread on the natur...

Ok, I'll try again. So, you see a post titled "Who are Martians to you?" You're curious so you read the original post. And it says, "What automatically comes to mind when you think about Martians? I think they cute and cuddlely, and I love how they laugh." What do you do? I would say that I think o...

My parents were going to send me to a private school, but it closed down the year I was going to go to it. Rather than put me in the public system, they sent me to a catholic school. While there, they told us stories but never explained why they were true. I never really believed, in the sense that ...

So explain what you mean when you say that atheists cannot think of the god of the bible in terms that we can both understand perfectly.

I'm assuming Americans don't just celebrate their independence on july 4th, but just the US in general. To conform to the posting of pictures, Abraham Lincoln, who managed to keep the southern states in the US and defeat the vampires: http://images.hollywood.com/site/Abraham-Lincoln-Vampire-hunter-r...

2: EXACTLY - They could not detect the gravitational effects. They said something which was correct to the best of their knowledge. They eventually turned out to be wrong, but, given what they knew at the time, they were correct. Okay, I don't know half enough about this stuff to comment for the mo...

@697, Ummm... Really? You're using the King James version of the Bible to back up your claims? A translated version made by scholars without as much information as we have today and heavily influenced by the politics of the time. If this is the nature of your facts.... It is less influenced by poli...

1. Ummm. No. I am saying that when you think of Hitler in a monkey suit outside your house, you are thinking of that as a concept. If you are thinking of it as existing, you are probably delusional. Harry Potter does exist. Harry Potter is a fictional character in several books and movies. You can ...

The bible claims that the world was made in 6 days; science has shown that to be false. There is no Bible verse that says "And God created the world in six days." There are lots of people who believe in the "billions of years" theory who love God and believe he died and rose from the dead. The bibl...

@697 I understand your point, but I disagree. When you think of God, what automatically comes to your mind? To me, this presupposes that you think of God. It doesn't say, what do you think of the concept of god. If you are thinking of god, then by default you think he exists. If you are thinking of...

697134002

@679, @m477 In short, Tulon is right. In the interest of courtesy, a discussion about the nature of God's existence should be no place for an atheist. What Haxx says is exactly my point. To your points. Of course, athesists can think about more than nothing. However, by intruding into a discussion ...

Although I'm not American, I recently stumbled across this.

697134002

Well, the OP in the original thread asked "When you think of God, what automatically comes to your mind?" Atheists don't believe in God, so when they think of God, nothing should come to mind. The concept of "nothing" has no physical manifestation or qualification and thus cannot be posted in a for...

@697 Wait. What? You mean you think all scientific theories have equal likelihood of being correct? Or do you mean it's a fact that those are scientific theories? Which, of course, is true - they are scientific theories. Edit: Or are you saying a theory is the same as a fact? And that if something ...

Well, I understand the attraction of pointing out facts when someone has got them wrong. But there is a big difference between the "fact" that salt is composed of sodium-cloride and the "theory" of the big bang. I tend to think that when explaining a theory, it's better to phrase it as a commonly a...

But why were you reading it in the first place? Or, are you religious and I just missed that?

I read every single thread that I am able to see.

697134002

Thank you for providing a corroborating example to my assertion 697. Let's say you're reading something and have some interest in discussing the topic. You then see that something which is likely contributing to someone's opinions, which you disagree with, is a common misconception. I also had litt...

Now. Please give me documented empirical evidence of your Diety's Miracles. The biggest miracle is undoubtedly the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The proof we have are the eyewitness accounts. The gospels were written with primary, secondary, and include tertiary information. The stories in them all...

I'll have to take a look at that experiment. Although, interestingly enough, I've seen proof of natural selection - just not of evolution. And yes the other things are theories, too. And why yes, it does bother me when they are taught as fact in school rather than theory. Scientific theories are in...

697134002

Glad to see things back to normal. Also, I know I said this somewhere else, but Gravity is also a theory, and while you can see it in your own lifetime, it doesn't make it any less of a "theory" than Natural Selection or Evolution. The geologic timescales needed to witness evolution at work are far...

@To the scientists, Evolution is a scientific theory. Sorry, Vallorn, it's not a fact. A fact is a piece of data. Evolution is not a piece of data. I do not believe in Evolution because I have yet to see supporting data for it. I have, however, seen plenty of supporting data about changes in popula...
