Well, science is only as valid as the scientists. Remember the Peltdown Man? Scientists believed they had discovered the missing link, and it took 25 years later to find out it was a huge hoax. There is a scientist down here at NASA who has been putting out false data about global warming to further his personal agenda. Nope, I will place my faith in God, not man.

No, you place your faith in a book, written by men who may or may not have been inspired by a god. There is no evidence, even circumstantial evidence, to prove this is true.

You entirely missed my point. What I was tyring to express is that our default setting for the lack of better words is religious. We are religious by who we really are. We certainly aren't christians by nature, that takes a supernatural act by God.

And you latter statement is too speculative and basically making the assertion that religions is nothing but a environmental condition. Clearly this is false when young christian children grow up in churches and flatly reject the truth.

Sorry, I misunderstood you.

I don't understand what you are trying to say in your second paragraph. My opinion is that religion, all religion, is a fabrication used by people to explain what they can't with the concrete knowledge they have. I think that we are now at the stage where the gaps in our knowledge are small enough that we don't need a god to explain them.

Sorry, I'll stop now. If you want to continue this debate, I'd be happy to discuss my beliefs with you on an appropriate forum.

Just a reminder about the Forum Specific Guidelines - only Fundamentalists can debate here.

Ah, another forum where I can't put forward my Atheist view in a calm and considered manner!
So is this is just a thread for Fundamentalists to bad mouth Atheism?

Dude, who cares? There are plenty of Atheist forums where you can badmouth Christianity or whatever.
