Hi, I've been reading a lot of threads and watching a lot of information regarding both atheism, creationism and theism (mostly christian, due to several reasons). I've seen some sites that have FAQs and some explanation to their standpoints.
Now to the main point of this thread:
Have anyone seen a collection of definitions and assumptions for the very basics of Science, Atheism, Creationism and Theism?
That is:
Have anyone seen a collection of definitions and assumptions for the most popular world views.
For example: Atheism, Science, Theism, Creationism.
A clear explanation of what a majority of the group can agree to.
People are arguing about a various amount of things and are not coming to many conclusions.
There are arguing left and right with straw-mans, definitions, evidence, age, concepts, historical events, metaphors etc.
People are using their own definitions and basis for their arguments and have to explain them over and over. It's like watching two people standing on different sides of a river debating who's on the right side.
Some are using arguments based on the very thing they are arguing against (like using math to "prove" absolute truths). That is only because of improper knowledge of what you are using.
Is there anywhere where one can find a source of definitions and assumptions so one can build a well-founded opinion about what they want to say? Or should someone have to build it from scratch?
Maybe this came out in a jumble, but I hope to be able to explain myself further if necessary.
A video that especially got me thinking along this track was "Proof that God Exists" by MrMinistryMan on Youtube. Not only did he base his arguments on faulty assumptions, he left out a whole lot of alternatives in his multi-video project.
