edit: AND WHICH ONE ARE YOU DAG NABBITT?!?!? LET US KNOW IN YOUR POST SOMEHWERE SHAMBLES/JUSTAGIRL!!!!!!!!
Hes Shambles His Posts Dont Make No Sense
Now now StfS.
dont we have a truce :P?
and what dosent make any sence about my post lol?
Humans split the attom So thats evidence that attoms exist,
humans have only ever Beleved in god so no evidence there.
Also. About colour...
its true.
red things absorb all the other colours in the spectrum and only reflect the Red part of the light spectrum.
So you see it as red.
White is technically all colours' So it reflects all the colours in the spectrum Which as we know then becomes white.
And black, being the basence of any colour at all. Reflects no colours of the light spectrum back and there for is black.
The first post doesn't so much beg the question of whether Atheism is a faith as much as it asks whether science is a faith. Faith requires belief in something that has not or cannot be proven, and as such I would say that scientific explanation often requires faith, thouth it is significantly different than religion. (Science seeks to answer questions through attempted falsification, theoretical models, and Occam's Razor, Religion provides answers from metaphysical revelation and generally doesn't attempt their falsification.)
On a deeper level we all require faith to survive on a daily basis, believing in things such as cause and effect that are so central to every paradigm of existence that we probably couldn't even think of an objective way to conclusively test them.

Agnostics beleve that there may be something out there,

And
atheists.
Beleve that there is no god.

Nm.
I think the word that's not quite registering there Viking is 'may'. Agnostics believe that there may be something out there, that is they allow for the possiblity. But they don't necessarily hold it to be true.
I very well may be irrestiably attractive to women of all ages, appearances and backgrounds, but even I find this idea strains the bounds of credibility. :laugh4:
I tend to consider agnosticism the "I Don't Care Club" of religion.
theist is greek for something along the lines of 'believes in god' and atheist is the anti- of that (i think) but i used atheists as in the people who believe most of what scientists say...
take this example... ages ago when HG Wells' war of the worlds became a radio production many people believed it to be real because they tuned in late but in a way is that a belief? because they had to rely upon the radio to inform them of what 'was' happening they didn't know if it was for real and yet they trusted in it much like we trust in what scientists say about how the universe is made up or how christians believe the stories of the bible and muslims the koran
Er, yes, that`s correct... :shame:Quote:

yeah i know many will call this ludicrous.
And when i was younger (not that long ago either)
I would have said its ludicrous 2.
but as ive grown older I understand that people have there right to beleve what they like,
Without me telling them there wrong.
ovcourse i may argue that christians dont really follow the teachings of christ,
and I may state that I dont like How christianity came to be.
but thats not really attacking a religion, its just pointing out a fact.
Where as in the past I would have insulted People for their beliefs..
And what 4??
What gain is there 4 me??
And How would brain washing religous people in to beleving what i believe help them,
Having no faith Sux. (if you start thinking about stuff)
I beleve every 1 should be allowed to beleve what they beleve Without people sticking there noses in,
Of cours a rational debate About certain Aspects of religion Without actualy trying to destroy or belittle some 1s beleifs would be acceptable.
Well I guess im just banging on here .
And i was only taking a 5 min break any way
So im gonna go back to my work (nice to work from home)
:bow:
Lol I wouldn't be surprised if someone calls you racist for that. Good one though. You get props *gives SFTS props*Quote:

How exactly is Viking wrong?Quote:

Agnosticism is more of a withholding of judgment, either saying one does not know or cannot know that God exists. Atheism is an assertion that God does not exist, so it makes a bold claim Agnosticism does not. Agnostics are sort of on the fence while Atheists and those who believe in God or a god or gods (Theists, I suppose) each make similar but opposite claims, and both require faith.

HEY!!!
I just read That text Properly
Stop the Damn insults!
There Was no reason for Subtle. Snide remarks there.
And Thats Virtualy A personal attck.
= Major warning
= 2 points.
So stop it!
Steady, Lads.
Meanwhile: If there is a supreme being, does she care what we think or don't think about her? And is the relationship between a god and men symbiotic; does each need the other to survive?
i thought god was an 'it' not a she.... or it depends on who is worshiping i suppose and man doesn't need god but if i was god i would get pretty bored without some lowly beings worshipping me....

For all you know Life here could have been a mistak "god" could have been playing about with some attoms 1 day. When they exploded and created the big band,
and then god ran way and went to do something els.
And pretends that That back room in the back of his house with the boarded up door does not exist.
“i dont think youl find that they were able to Split god” No, but the Christian did. One God in three: The Father, the Son and Holly Ghost.:2thumbsup:
I am atheist. For me that means I have no answer and I accept there are things I can’t explain.
Okey, I will. Speaking of which you`re probably old enough to be my dad. :shifty:Quote:
