The Atheism Thread

[weed_G]

are we operating on faith a little bit when believing that existance is real?

Its a bit of a cliche but how do we know that anything is true? Science and before that religion enables us to make sense of something as we percieve it, we may well be percieving it all wrong anyway though.

thats a damn good question, you just blew both science and religion out of the water ...that's like a 500 yard drive into a hole in one ..whatever it is your doing solar keep doing it

there is no god

prove it

Do you really think that solar's post blows science out of the water. If so you are a pathetic lame brain. I take it that you've never heard of existentialism?

Descartes admitted he was a ponce.

Descarte also "proved " that god exists.

Compliments, compliments, so kind, so kind. I've always aspired to being an atheist stereotype. Good breeding prevents me from defining yours.

Descarte also "proved " that god exists.

He also 'proved' that santa exists, and the tooth fairy. Oh and leprechauns and elves.

Atheism is the other side of the coin to theism, it's like saying you know one way or the other and none of us can ever know. The smart money sits on the edge of the coin.

In other words, jam a coin up your crack and you'll be alright.

just to add, i believe science also has limits, science can only explain HOW things work. but can NEVER explain why, and good scientists wouldn't claim this

"and good scientists wouldn't claim this" ^^

The driving question in science, particularly maths is why

we seek to understand the how in order propose a why

[scraglor]

no, science can only prove how, never why. you can say, like poles repel, opposite attracts, you can't say WHY though, you can determine what the laws are and how they act, you can't determine WHY the laws are as they are.
