the other thing is we know what will be said in those forums. We aren't saying anything new to them. The one thing we know they will not say ... "you science is wrong". In fact, we are so dead nuts on and started to make sense it had to be stopped ... by any means necessary.

Another thing I learned ... If it was based in reason they would listen ... Boy was I wrong.

No, it is the default until evidence for the supernatural explains things better than naturalism. Yes, we know you do not accept the supernatural, you also accept naturalism (with additions), which then raises the question why you fight the logical conclusion of your own position, that science must come to natural conclusions until we have evidence for something better. Consistency is not your strong point.

Yes, we know you assert over and over. And I am not talking about the purpose of science, I am talking about it's conclusions, it is always natural forces. Naturalism is the conclusion. And nowhere have I claimed science tries to establish atheism is true.

Again with the inconsistency. Which, we use the science or we do not?

No, your ignorance of science is why I call you Jargonauts. And your evasion is once again noted. The only reason you avoid the science forum is your views will be exposed for what they are.

Yes, I have seen your rewording of current science, but not once did I see you explain how it backs your claims. It is like all jargon and no substance.

But you seem so keen to constantly lecture us on how stupid we are, yet refuse to use that time to explain the evidence for your beliefs, or link to the science papers behind it. You even have a thread for your own special beliefs.

YOU are the one insisting on violating the scientific neutrality by drawing a conclusion about the existing evidence. You insist that the conclusion be that the EXISTING evidence is NOT of God. That is your BELIEF. Mine is the opposite using the EXACT same evidence.

There is no point in taking it to the science forum. They can NOT refute the science. All they can reject is my extrapolations and conclusions from the science, and they would not be allowed in that forum anyway.

You know as well as I do that science refuses to draw conclusions about God (Pro or Con) so there will never be any scientific papers addressing a clearly NOT NEUTRAL position on the issue of God. I sympathize with your inability to see the connections and implications of the science. You have amply demonstrated your problem drawing inferences.

Evasion and usual excuses noted. As you obviously can not support your claims, back to the OP.

Clearly, your atheism has not evolved and shows no sign of evolving ever given the rigidity of your perspective and lack of philosophical thinking. I suspect much of the problem involves language differences, but I am beginning to think that atheists in general, eschew drawing inferences from implications as well.
