[quote user="eulercircles"] I was a little frustrated by the Porcfest debate because it was quite obvious that the other guy (Johnson?) was just playing a language game. [/quote] Of all the comments here - I would like to address an apology to you. (and hopefully my comments won't spark...

Hello everyone, I listened to this debate earlier today and started listening to the audio book of Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion" this afternoon. Very early in the book Dawkins quotes Stephan Weinberg's book "Dreams of a Final Theory". I felt this quote from Weinberg...

I'm glad I've done the basic research necessary to bring these issues up in the most rational way. I'm either a pantheist or a panentheist. From the little I know, the difference between the two is irrelevant to me, but pantheist is shorter to write. I've always been curious about Stefan's...

I am an atheist because of logic and rationality, so that's the basis of all my arguments against agnosticism or theism. So how can I possibly argue against the "anything is possible, you don't know" statement? God can exist without matter. Anything is possible, we don't know everything...

Stef's 1673 cast cleared it up nicely, I'm very satisfied now. I'm definitely an atheist. [quote user="gdw"]I think the question becomes, IF they were "created," along with the rest of our universe, would what ever "created" them constitute "god?" Even...

I don't know what straw man post means. I'm 10 minutes into Stef's video on agnosticism but here are my first thoughts on your replies: I guess I'm not an agnostic? Going by your assumptions on my beliefs, I disagree with pretty much all of it. I believe my definition of "God"...

Hey guys, I am actually an atheist, and I have successfully discerned in my own life that god cannot exist by its own definition, and falls over the trip-cord known to us a logic and reasoning. I am, however, experiencing a problem that happens to deal more with our naturalistic universe that has caused...

I watch the remake to the 1981 film Clash of the Titans (based on the myths of Perseus) and I have to say that I enjoyed it very much. Sure the movie is full of holes and contradictions but the underlying story is profound to me. If you have not seen this movie yet and plan on doing so, you might want...

When I was younger, I asked the same question, and I came across the answer, "God created God, or else God would not be God." And, that made sense until I began contemplating existence: What was there before anything was created? Nothing? Well... that can't be because even a void is still...

[quote user="Old Whig"] I'm not seeing curiosity. Which of her statements are silly and why?[/quote] [quote]I am saying that we must have subconscious memories from before we met our parents, that's all.[/quote]Is a lie which is stated as a fact. If someone wasn't offended by this...
