I have a theory that all atheists are angry at God. I have not met every atheist, so I can't prove it.
You mean hypothesis and you can disprove it by finding one atheist who is not angry at God.

Me, for one.

Hypothesis disconfirmed.

No it isn't. Don't confuse anger with god's followers as anger with god.
Yes it is very common. I could comb through posts to show you few are angry with christians but more are angry at God.

So you’ll accept “most” or “many” are but not “all?”

If you're looking for a definition of information as used with respect to DNA, it depends.
Why does the definition of information change for DNA besides the desire of atheists to use semantics?
That’s like saying the information in a recipie is counted by the number of words used. Of what use is this? Does it render it “not information?”
Is there a specific threshold in quantification results that render it either information or not information?
However even in the latter cases, there is nothing strictly prohibiting the formation of new, measurable information in DNA via observed mechanisms that alter DNA sequences over time.
So it’s all information no matter what?
There is nothing to suggest that the only way information in DNA sequences can arise is from deliberate, intelligent editing of DNA sequences.
Except how do mindless processes produce information in the first place? There’s nothing that says mindless water running over a page cannot change the information on a document. Doesn’t explain how the information got there in the first place.
That's not how science works. The conclusions that Pasteur made were in relation to modern life forms not spontaneously arising.
Single cell life forms aren’t modern and that’s the only kind he could have hoped to show.
Such conclusions are provisional, not a blanket statement forever prohibiting life arising from non-life.
Some faith is hard to kill no matter what science is provided.
The original life on Earth would have had to arisen from non-life. Such a process would involve organic chemistry.
Except we KNOW it cannot have done so by all observed scientific research. Faith, of course, doesn’t need to heed science if there are stronger reasons for believing. Depends upon the heart.

No. You really can't. If you find anger at god, they aren't atheists. I suspect most of what you would post, however, is indeed equating anger at christians with anger at god, despite your claim otherwise..

That's silly.
It is indeed. My observations lead me to that (I am duly corrected) hypothesis. Why people should be angry at a Being they do not believe in makes no sense to me.

Information is attributed to data sets by the receiver. It can be, but need not be, intentionally implanted in the data set.

I've yet to see it. I have, however, seen a lot of false accusations of it from christians.

You live a sheltered life. Go on an atheist blog and pretend to be a Christian. You probably have gleaned enough to fake it. See how that works for you.

How atheists treat you has no bearing on whether or not they are mad at god. Or at the very least is not indicative of said anger.

Oh yes it does. Talk about any subject you like except anything to do with God. Watch the hackles rise and the fur fly.....

Like I thought....You are MUCH more likely confusing anger at theists and their culture with anger at god. But I get it, it's easier to dismiss them when you assume they have this insane misdirected anger that makes no sense. They must be mental.

Can you provide an example of quantified or measured information? What ruler or units are used to do this?
Information is measure in "bits." No. "Information" is a way of characterizing patterns of physical entities--in the case of your example, the sound patterns of speech. Any speech utterance contains information, but then, so does the white noise coming off the cooling fan ii your computer.

But really, let's call a spade a spade here....the real reason for your "hypothesis" and Dorothy Mae's agreement with it, is that the Bible says, basically, that there is really no such thing as an atheist. It claims that everyone knows he exists, but some will choose to reject him. So any claims contrary to your hypothesis are just lies (whether actual lies to you, or lies to our (atheists) selves.

So it's not so much your hypothesis...it's what you've been taught as fact.

It appears that you believe 1. That there is there a supernatural entity of some kind which is responsible for the existence of the universe, and 2. That science can be relied upon to give us reasonably accurate explanations for material phenomena such as the age of the universe, the origin of species, etc. Is that right?

Actually I can. Pretty amazing that you assume what I cannot do. That you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Not convinced you guys could detect the anger if you read it.
