You are a L-I-A-R.



To "think we are the most powerful beings in the universe" something does not mean "to proclaim one way or the another that God exists." My response made it quite clear that there could be no certainty on the proposition, which was not the existence of God but whether we were the most powerful beings in the universe. Again, based on the available evidence or science, there is nothing wrong with thinking we are the most powerful beings in the universe.

You're gonna have a hard time with the scientists who are Christians. Go for it.

/shrugs.....if they are like us (and that cuts a rather broad spectrum) then obviously they haven't suppressed anything either......

meet an absurdly high burden

obviously you would prefer a really, really low burden.....maybe something like "I feel tingley when I say it so it must be true".......

Okay, let's try reality for a minute. Everyone, be they pope Francis or Richard Dawkins has moments of doubt's about what they actually believe when they are memorizing their bedroom ceiling at three ayem. Its called being human. We should embrace this as part of who we are rather than being threatened by it.

to be completely honest, I do not have such moments of doubt....

Bullshit. The semantics arguments have all come from SF. I don't do semantics anymore. That's for you, which makes your handle rather ironic.

A word means whatever those people using it mean. For instance, I do understand that some people mean non human tailless primate when they use the word ape. That's fine. But that does not change the fact that our species is a cousin of those animals most commonly referred to as apes and we are apes in material fact just as much as the chimpanzees are. That is not a semantic argument. Call that group hominoidea, man-like apes (as Huxley did) or whales, we are part of that group regardless of the label affixed.

Nope. I argued that the belief of atheist were best determined on their stated beliefs while your buddy argued that they believe what he THOUGHT the dictionary said they believe and felt it had to be distinct from agnostic. You made a completely semantic argument on what creationist and intelligent design mean.

BTW, it's... it takes two to tango... idiot.

I do doubt you are capable of determining that issue.....

Sure I am. You will stake nothing on your pretense of certainty. You are even afraid to make definite claims of what you are certain. Your faith is actually nothing but equivocation. Ham makes a better pretense of certainty.
