True. It's maybe easier to regard oneself as a "fortuitous concourse of atoms" and give the God delusion a miss.

We have to establish what a "god" is before we can consider it to be real or not. Nobody can even do that. All we have are various contradicting claims from silly books and silly people.True. It's maybe easier to regards oneself as a "fortuitous concourse of atoms" and give the God delusion a miss.

I'll keep those smoky mirrors ;-) If you think we are all accidents on a random rock with our only significance deriving from a few invented connections to previous meaningless events, fair enough.i'm open minded to creation mate, but the least plausible is the one you present and that is my issue.
you are entirely convinced that it is the truth, but through indoctrination (you may say not, another debate another day) you are unable to think otherwise so whenever you say thus i will challenge you, that's the nature of reasoning
the mere fact you allude to its not easy to prove such tells me smoke and mirrors are at play again

A delightfully ambiguous response!Oh dear.
Since you don’t know me I assume that it isn’t a term of endearment and just accept that you have realised the error in your argument.
thats my point i don't know if thats the case i'm open mindedI'll keep those smoky mirrors ;-) If you think we are all accidents on a random rock with the our significance deriving from a few invented connections to previous meaningless events, fair enough.
you are not
you think what contained within the bible is the truth, and everytime you say so i will challenge you to prove it
you're not doing well so far

As opposed to...True. It's maybe easier to regards oneself as a "fortuitous concourse of atoms" and give the God delusion a miss.

Not believing in something unprovable should be the normal stance, it's not a religious stance it's a common sense stance.
The only "Unusual" behaviour is from the people who vehemently believe in one of the thousands of gods used to placate the needy.

We have nothing to go on. Nothing.
