    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    Right . . .

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    But you do have that right? I am an atheist because I lack a belief in gods, and I don't take the position that gods do not exist. Are you telling me that I am not an atheist? Then what is it?

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    "Agnostic isn’t just a “weaker” version of being an atheist. It answers a different question. Atheism is about what you believe. Agnosticism is about what you know."--American Atheists What is Atheism? | American Atheists You are getting the basics wrong. The reasons that people don't believe...

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    "I cannot prove that either the Christian God or the Homeric gods do not exist, but I do not think that their existence is an alternative that is sufficiently probable to be worth serious consideration."--Bertrand Russell Russell stated just the opposite.

    Seeing things in their past? You are full of beans!

    But the universe is not a light sphere, as you claimed.

    You have a habit of ignoring the answers or proclaiming the answers to be impossible for no apparent reason.

    Seeing things in their past? You are full of beans!

    You are moving between frames of reference again. For any frame of reference (that is, for any object not moving at the speed of light) you will see that light takes time to move from one position in space to another. This is experimentally verifiable, and has been verified. Even the GPS you...

    What if we pretend that planets are pink unicorns? I don't see the point of fantastical scenarios.

    The point appears to have sailed well over your head.

    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    Humans cause monstrosities, not science. It's a bit like blaming WW II on the guns. Science is just a tool, nothing more and nothing less.

    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    Let's look at this from a different angle. How did we discover that specific medications caused birth defects? That would be a scientific discovery, would it not?

    I've Sacrificed my belief in Evolution for Religion

    Since you have already stated that you are defending the Bible, I doubt that any observation would change your mind. I could show you multiple observations of fossils that have a mixture of human and ape features, but would these observations change your mind? I'm guessing not. What's the...

    I've Sacrificed my belief in Evolution for Religion

    I am glad to hear from you again, and I hope your health improves. If you have any questions, please ask and I will do my best to clarify any of the concepts we have discussed.

    Does the Soul Exist?

    Any evidence for these other levels?

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    All atheists lack a belief in gods, so that is why it is the best descriptor. The history of the word "atheist" includes misrepresentations made by Christians and other religious groups. Even Russell described himself as an atheist while also saying that he accepted that gods could exist.

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    Russell was an atheist and he did not completely rule out the existence of gods.

    We already know that it takes the expected amount of time for an Earth based radio signal to arrive at our satellites and rovers out in the solar system. The engineers who drive the Mars rovers are painfully aware of this because they have to input a command and wait quite a while before the...

    That works as well. Before you were describing a situation where you are riding along with the photon, and that is the example I was trying to describe.

    To use an analogy, you are saying that you feel disrespected when your neighbor yells at you after your dog pooped on their lawn. You are saying that your neighbor is behaving badly because he complains about your dog's poop on his lawn.

    Seeing things in their past? You are full of beans!

    You do that by measuring the relative velocity between the frames of reference using one frame of reference as your standard. Since the Earth is not travelling at the speed of light there is a passage of time in Earth's frame of reference. On top of that, nothing with mass can travel at the...
