This is fun. Common sense tells us that heavier objects fall to earth faster then lighter objects. Here's a bowling ball and a feather:

That's just a claim. An anecdotal one, even.

It actually does, because it needs to know to what platform it has to be compiled to. But what platform it will run on isn't known when the app is being programmed. Take a html5 website. That runs in a browser. It must know which browser, during coding. Because different browsers requires...

They also overwhelmingly disagree, considering the huge amount of denominations of even only christianity, and then there's still all the other completely incompatible religions that I'm not even mentioning.... Also: claiming expertise and actually having expertise, are 2 different things.

No. It's an appeal to expertise. Which is not fallacious at all. It's why it's rational to trust your doctor's diagnosis about that lumb in your neck over the "diagnose" of your mail man. That would indeed be an appeal to popularity fallacy. Again, no. Expertise and authority, is not the...

Common sense told everyone before Einstein that the flow of time is a constant. Oeps.

Every single time that a theist tried to define what the supernatural (including God) is, I was given an unfalsifiable, unverifiable, untestable definition. Things that are unfalsifiable, unverifiable, untestable,.... are unknowable by definition. I have zero reason to believe claims about...

None of this counters anything I said. Java is a platform-agnostic programming language. I can't prove that there is no easter bunny, so I am agnostic about the easter bunny. I can't prove that there is no god, so I am agnostic about god. Yet I don't believe in the easter bunny. I also don't...

We sure can take the nazi motivations and beliefs concerning "aryan superiority" and anti-semitism and show how they are insanely wrong and unfounded. Let's flip the script here.... If Hitler were commanded by your god to exterminate an entire group of people, then what he did would have been...

It makes them gnostics with respect to the things they know. For example, Java is a programming language that uses a JIT (Just In Time compiling). Let's clarify, for those who don't know anything about programming languages... There are several operating systems (windows, macOS, linux, iOS...

That makes no sense. Why? Does the word scare you? I'm very sure that I don't accept theistic claims of the supernatural.

Meaning, that Hinduism most definatly offers a story on the creation of the universe we inhabit. So yes, hindusim has a creation myth concerning the universe. Just like abrahamic religions, it claims this universe had a beginning. I don't see what is "patronising" or "snide" about bringing...

Ever heared of Lord Brahma, the Creator?

Buddhism isn't a theistic religion in the first place. As for Daoism / Taoism: Meaning of Taoism The Myth of Pan Ku: Creation and the Universal Egg

Pretending to know, is not actually knowing. When reading that, I get a mental image of a 5-year old on the play ground saying "na, na-na, naaa-na"

Faith is not a pathway to truth. Mountains don't move. They don't. Says the person that thinks mountains move. They don't. Mountains are the result of tectonic activity. Tectonic plates move. Mountains aren't tectonic plates.

Every theistic religion that I am aware of, has some kind of creation myth embedded. Do you know of one that doesn't?

Every single religion says that. To single out abrahamic religions as if they were special in that respect, is not honest. List of creation myths - Wikipedia FYI: every single one of these creation myths, including the one in the bible, was brutally wrong.

Be honest about it. Meaning: acknowledging ignorance and not just invent something. That will only result in false beliefs. No, it's not. Pretending to know while you really don't know, isn't better then just saying you don't know. The exact opposite is true.

Me: I should note, I consider it extremely likely that you won't answer either question Followed by.... no answers to either question. :rolleyes: Instead, just more preaching of your rather bizare and unique bible interpretations that you can't even get christians to agree on...
