quote: Sounds like you are in big trouble then considering your complete lack of knowledge about molecular biology and evolution.
quote: Your Christ like humbleness in telling everyone what is the most important for them is astounding.
quote: Sounds like god (played by Al Pacino) is coming to rub you out since you have demonstrated absolutely no interest in learning since you entered this site and have repeatedly demonstrated that you are very comfortable with your ignorance....and why are the cows mad cows? According to you they are merely possessed by demons since they sure fart a lot. It is also ironic that you claim that pointing out the "bad people " to your myth is your job...at least you ackowledge that your profession is not science.
quote: ..and boy what an example of perfect love or the striving to imitate perfect love you are You have taken hypocrisy to a state of near perfection however.
quote:...then he should create ex nihilo the perfect gas relief pill (to get rid of those demons) to get rid of the perfect pain. quote: Some of us have been spared this misfortune by not treating our loved ones like shit, acting psychotically, and driving them away with our arrogance leading in a bitter divorce...you obviously in your perfect jesus like love were not spared...plausibility of demons/Jehovah just dropped from 0 to -0.1
quote: Ooooh I saw that episode to...wasn't it the Waltons? or was it Falcon Crest?
quote: Those who approach you with anything but a gag and straight jacket are opening themselves up to the worst kind of nonsense.
quote: Well, that't enough. Get busy. Get a good psychiatrist, get some strong medication, up your electro shock therapy voltage and spend the rest of your life trying to form a coherent thought. You could easily be in the top twenty reasons to become an atheist...who wants to be such an feeble minded bigot jackass like you? Get over yourself Stephen ben hypocrisy

He has repeatedly aimed his comments at anyone who disagrees with him..not just agnostics.

quote: I disagree for several reasons. First off, many intellectuals do believe in a supreme being unless you are suggesting all believers are unintellectual? Second, if you are equating intellectual with scientist (which may or may not be the case) we are restricted to methodological naturalism and the existence or non-existence of god/gods/any diety like entity is completely irrelevant. Anecdote, personal experience, other non testable non falsifiable hypothesis or experiments are of no use in describing natural phenomenon. Finally, I find that many believers are actually far more arrogant. They claim that their beliefs coupled with ignorance of science is the equivalent of universal certitude. Scientists have to live with the tentativity inherent in methodological naturalism and even the most arrogant ass of a scientist stands in awe of nature and at the amount we do not know.

You shifted halfway in your post to one of crashfrogs but I will address what I think you were asking me.
quote: No, I am an atheist. My point is that one need not believe in a higher intelligence or power to be awed by nature. What you mean by highest pinnacle is unclear. Do you mean for you the highest pinnacle of wisdom is the unquestioning belief in a book even when read literally is often in complete contradiction with reality? This seems rather peculiar.
quote:For some scientists it is the christian flavor of diety. Some are jewish, muslim, hindu, buddhist,..I even had a colleague who thought she was a witch and believed in a mix of various forms of mysticism. Good luck defining a supreme being however, nobody else seems to agree on it even within the same religious groups. quote: Ok...I will keep going even though this is for crash By us I think he means anybody who might disagree with the specific beliefs of chris. quote:..and they don't believe in the easter bunny, Santa, Vishnu, Zeus or Thor either. There are many fictitious beings that people have pulled out of their imaginations throughout human history...I have no more reason to believe in them than in any other human constructed myth. I have no need to use mythology as a crutch to get me through the day. quote: That is an position to take. Considering knowledge, particularly scientific knowledge, is something that continues to develope over time and is by all involved, very incomplete and always tentative, it is hard to consider it the highest pinnacle of anything.
quote: Considering how many religious conflicts are going on at any given time, it does not appear that the believers are working particularly hard.

quote: Ok, I follow you up to here..then,
quote: Why? Sometimes people get something special from a painting, a song, a poem that the artists may never have intended or could never have imagined. Why should what the artist feels his/her painting means be "higher" than anyone elses?
quote: To non-Christians and non-believers this is fantasy and opinion. According to the first part of your post "no one opinion is any more valid or true than any other opinion".
quote: However, this is evidence free...and I don't believe it.
quote: However, this would be a you say I say type of argument. It is not supported by evidence but is your faith. I don't share it but I also respect your right to your belief.
quote: That is fine, it also suggests we will not (or should not) be in conflict over subjects like evolution which are scientific. Theistic evolutionists, which include many scientists who accept evolution, would alos agree with your above statement.
quote: I'm not Steve Fretwell...I don't spend my time having conversations with things I don't believe exist.
