"Anti-theism challenges the legitimacy of faith as a moral authority or way of knowing." trotsky Jun 2012 #6

I'll send you a matching t-shirt. rug Jun 2012 #7

Hey trotsky! That's twice in a week I agree with you. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #26

Considering you've just self-identified as an "anti-theist"... trotsky Jun 2012 #31

What are you talking about? Were you being insincere? Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #32

Here, take one of these. It should help. trotsky Jun 2012 #33

I'm so sorry. Must have mistaken you for someone else. Starboard Tack Jun 2012 #41

Has science taken a position on the existence or nonexistence of god(s)? rug Jun 2012 #29

In a sense, yes. laconicsax Jun 2012 #42

That wasn't the question. rug Jun 2012 #44

"Has science taken a position on the existence or nonexistence of god(s)?" laconicsax Jun 2012 #45

The actual answer, not "in a sense", is no. rug Jun 2012 #46

Would you care to name the scientific theory that requires a god? laconicsax Jun 2012 #48

Sure it is. Why you even used three exclamation points. rug Jun 2012 #51
