Remember me, sunshine? You blocked me instead of debating me. I'll give you some fair play, though, because I know it's hard to deal with dumbasses everyday debating you and thinking they're smarter and what-not, but let's face it: these people ain't gonna change. Ever. No one will never change anyone's mind with his opinions over the internet. I know that you couldn't change my opinion, my perspective or theological views, no matter how hard you tried. However, since you're an atheist and not a major religitard, I still prefer you over, like, Abrahamic people.
“Remember me, sunshine? You blocked me instead of debating me.”
If I did block you it was because I do not ‘debate’, I discuss issue and I’m not interested in doing that with smug, petty buffoons like you who begin a dialogue in such a manner.
“I'll give you some fair play, though, because I know it's hard to deal with dumbasses everyday debating you and thinking they're smarter and what-not, but let's face it: these people ain't gonna change. Ever.”
Ah yes, the very smug, self-centered and self-righteous attitude of someone who appears to image that they are the sole arbitrator of reality and can make such overreaching, broad sweeping declarations. It is very likely that this was one of the primary reasons that I blocked you if I even did as here you are spouting such giberitic nonsense. Classing others as “these people” demonstrates only your narrow mindedness.
“No one will never change anyone's mind with his opinions over the internet.”
Say the grand fount of knowledge in the know universe or at least in this little corner of the web.
“I know that you couldn't change my opinion, my perspective or theological views, no matter how hard you tried.”
Well at least you’re open and unashamed of your bombastic closeminded attitude.
Kudos for that at least however that you imagine that I would even try in your regard shows that you are extremely self-obsessed.
I am not interested in making any attempt ‘change anyone’s mind’ but rather am interested in exposing the inherent flaws, foibles, irrationality and outright evil that is part and parcel of the major religious mythologies. If my doing so causes someone to start rethinking their beliefs then all the better.
“However, since you're an atheist and not a major religitard, I still prefer you over, like, Abrahamic people.”
Well, first of all when have I ever stated in any manner what my religious beliefs are?
The answer is that I have not done so and you are merely pretending that you ‘know me’ due to some ridiculous assumptions on your part thus indicating that you’d rather just make things up to suit your narrative than ask questions of other people. Again, that is likely one of the reasons that I blocked you if I did.
The fact that you go out of your way to denigrate and purposefully offend those who do hold to such beliefs indicates that you are an individual of weak character and no one I’d ever wish to associate with.
To set the record start you have had you little ‘whine’ and as you have shown yourself to be narrow and closeminded by your own admission, a person who seems to like to demean others who dare to disagree with you and that you are a smug little clown I will be blocking you the moment I post this.
From your personal experience, how much do you think Wikipedia is a reliable source of information?
“From your personal experience, how much do you think Wikipedia is a reliable source of information?”
From the standpoint of ease of access and the fact that as much as possible the site seeks to have all statements of fact accompanied by citations in a reasonable facsimile to peer reviewed articles, I see it as a very good jumping off point.
The inclusion of reference citations allows any reader to continue on to further research thus supporting the material presented.
While it is not to be relied on solely as stated it is a relatively good starting point.
Did science disprove the existence of God?
“Did science disprove the existence of God?”
I believe that we have covered that patently obtuse theistic attempt to play the logical fallacy of ‘shifting the burden of proof’ previously.
When and if a person asserts a claim of ‘god does not exist’ they have made a positive claim that they must then substantiate.
This is the problem theists have as they constantly make such positive claims yet cannot support them with reasoned argument founded on objectively verifiable evidence and rely totally on biased assertions, distortions of reality to suit their predetermined conclusions and a host of other flawed ideas.
Science does not consider such unsupported claims relating to the ‘supernatural’, magic, or deities when investigating reality as none of which have ever been shown to be real.
The actual question is not as you state “Did science disprove the existence of God?” but rather ‘has anyone regardless of religious view ever proven the existence of god or have they only ever claimed it’?
I will ask this another way: "Can science prove the existence of a being outside time and space?"
