Earth calling Ugly...Earth calling Ugly.

That was not a source for the etymology of the words "atheist" or "atheism."

Look...you cannot do it. Don't even bother to try.

The words came into the English language from the Greek...through the French.

Jesus H. Christ.

 

[Ross Dolan]

Still not refuting the funny post? I wonder why?

I refuted the other one.

How about you. Care to talk about the etymology of the words "atheist" and "atheism?"

Beavers build dams, spiders make webs ...

How have your determined that a "who" is the creator?

I don't believe in a creator

 

[The Ugly Truth]

I refuted the other one.

You started this BS by complaining that Atheist is not a Latin word. It is, indeed, a word used in Latin. Just as there are many words included in English that came from some other language. It's still English. And Atheist is still Latin. Now STFU.

in what post number did he do that?

 

[Ross Dolan]

Yes, and I was correct. It is an English word.

It is, indeed, a word used in Latin.

No...it is not used in Latin. And it does not derive from Latin.

Just as there are many words included in English that came from some other language. It's still English. And Atheist is still Latin. Now STFU.

Atheist and atheism comes from the Greek...through the French. I've shown that...and dared you to show otherwise.

You can't.

And as I expected, you are not adult enough to simply acknowledge that you cannot.

So now we go to the "STFU" kind of thing a child might say in a playground.

I'm laughing at you, Ugly...not with you.

No...it is not used in Latin. And it does not derive from Latin.

Guess what, dipshitzky? There is a Latin dictionary online. I typed in Atheos. This is what I got.

Yeah...that is what atheos means in Latin.


That does not mean that the word "atheist" is a Latin word...

...and the English word "atheist"...DOES NOT DERIVE FROM LATIN.

You cannot show that the English word "atheist" derives from LATIN...BECAUSE IT DOESN'T.

Give it up. Show a little self-respect and dignity.

And if you want to show that you have very little class by starting that name-calling crap that so many children in this forum do...be my guest. It's going to be laughed at by me.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

What part of Genesis do you NOT take literally?

the parts you have twisted.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I do not do "believing." You do...that is why that first sentence is so ironic.

I'm sure if you tell that to yourself enough you may begin to believe it.......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE UNIVERSE ALWAYS EXISTED.

is it?.....science says you're full of crap.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Big Bang is a theory.....

yes it is.......that the universe created itself is not......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

This thing we humans call "the universe"...may not be THE UNIVERSE. It is only the part we know about. Go back 100 years...and scientists did NOT KNOW that other galaxies existed. They thought "the universe" was our galaxy...the stuff we could see. We do not know if THE UNIVERSE had a beginning.




Most learned people refer to it as the Big Bang. And it refers to the (theoretical) start of the part of THE UNIVERSE that we puny humans on this nondescript planet circling a fairly common, unremarkable star know about at the moment. We humans may know as much about THE UNIVERSE as an ant in the backyard knows about our galaxy.




You are saying it is impossible...but it MAY BE POSSIBLE for something to create itself. But it also is possible that THE UNIVERSE was not created...by itself or by a god or by anything else.

IT MAY ALWAYS HAVE EXISTED.




You are not offering FACTS...you are offering assertions.

Obviously many scientists disagree with you...or, people like Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, and Stephen Hawking would not have been atheists and agnostics.

Open your mind. I have refuted your arguments...which are NOT facts.




That is what scientists and logicians do, Ugly...they suppose things...and they do not settle on an answer unless all the other things are shown to be impossible. Look at the title of your thread!

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE UNIVERSE ALWAYS EXISTED...AND ALWAYS WILL. IT IS POSSIBLE IT WAS NOT CREATED AT ALL.

you have some odd beliefs for someone who has no beliefs.......

 

[Ross Dolan]

I'm sure if you tell that to yourself enough you may begin to believe it.......

How trite.

I am beginning to understand why your avatar is a baby.

 

[PostmodernProphet]

but that is NOT what atheism means.

if one does not deny the existence of deity one is not an atheist......

 

[Ross Dolan]

is it?.....science says you're full of crap.....

No it doesn't.

Science has no idea if THE UNIVERSE always existed or not.

 

[Ross Dolan]

you have some odd beliefs for someone who has no beliefs.......

I do not do "believing."

If you think anything I said here is "odd"...let's discuss them. I think none of them are odd.

 

[The Ugly Truth]

No it doesn't.

Science has no idea if THE UNIVERSE always existed or not.

Everything physical has a beginning. It is impossible for something physical to be preexistent and eternal.

 

[Ross Dolan]

if one does not deny the existence of deity one is not an atheist......

What does that have to do with what is being discussed?

But in a way...I sorta agree with you...although I am sure there are many atheists here who would not.

Some atheists (especially the ones who post on the Internet in these forums) claim they are not denying the existence of a deity...but are merely asserting that they do not "believe" one exists. (That is not the same as asserting that one does not exist.)

I am someone who does not "believe" a deity exists...but I am not an atheist.

I also do not "believe" there are no gods.

I simply do not do have a belief in either direction on the question.

As I said, however, that is not what was being discussed.
