I'm not bashing atheists. I am objecting to your definitions and presumptions. Question: Are you a fan of the Red Soxs or Yankees? Answer: I'm not sure, I don't know what I believe... I have not seen proof that either team is worth my support. Conclusion: You default to a Yankees fan unless you say otherwise. Your comparision to goblins in the earth is poor. We, as humans have a great understanding of what is in the earth, what it is made of. We have little understanding of what the universe is, it's origins, and the purpose of life. Contrary to what Star Trek will have you believe, even those of us who really understand advance scientific ideas don't understand much. We don't even know what gravity is, only what it does. If you want to say the default answer is "I don't know?", I could say maybe. I honestly think it's different for every person. I would definitly say that the answer for ALL people is not "I don't know but most likely no God". I think you are placing your personal beliefs and values on others. We are all very different.
Oh, and the quote button doesn't work on any of my PC's. It only works on my phone. Any idea how I can make it work? I always get errors. |
Wow, you're comparing 2 tangible, real things to something that isn't real or tangible. Astonishingly ignorant.
His comparison of goblins is excellent. How do you know there aren't goblins in there? Do we know anything about goblins? Can they withstand the immense heat?
You can't disprove the existence of anything. That's his point. Disprove that there are tiny, insivisble, undetectable creatures flying around your face at this very moment. The default of "I don't know" I suppose I can agree with. It's fair. It's how you start anything - is the ball red? I don't know, let me look at the ball, okay yes it looks red, so it's red. No it does not look red, it is not red.
