    If God can't be shown to exist, isn't he useless

    I reflected on this question for sometime, before remembering that so many theological approaches to faith demand no such demonstration of existence. I have had the pleasure of talking to a few Orthodox Jews for example, who I don't think would even find the question meaningful. To them God is...

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    Do you want to discuss this? I'm happy to, but you seem to take issue with my 'tone'.

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    I am an atheist, and certainly don't want that. Most Western atheists like chocolate - that does not infer a relationship. Sure, and they might do all of that and be atheist.

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    Aren't we discussing atheism, not religion? You keep swapping from one to the other.

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    No, not at all - atheism just relates to belief in a God, not the supernatural. What do you mean 'merely a materialist' and what do you mean about their behaviour?

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    No, religion is irrelevant. Belief in a god is what counts. You can be religious and atheist.

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    Ever heard of trying to discuss stuff like an adult? Rather than giving up instantly. All I did was politely ask you about your claim - which is what this forum is for. There is no need to throw a tantrum and get nasty.

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    Yes I know, but your reasoning is so far not apparent. So you give up flinging insults before we even start - because of my 'tone'. Never liked pidgeon chess.

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    Well as long as it is not that you have started to believe in God, none of those things are related to atheism. So sure, you can believe in unicorns and be atheist.

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    That doesn't even make sense. There is no statistical data demonstrating anything that conflicts with materialism, and atheism has nothing to do with materialism anyway. You can't render a position untenable by just dismissing it without a rational argument.

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    What has it got to do with atheism? Lots of theists reject it also.

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    What stats? What statistical data? How on earth do you imagine disbelief in God to be incoherant as a belief?

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    When you say that they are 'both lacking in information, hence wrong' what do you mean? What is the argument or logic being applied there?

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    Why would that matter? You could hold no belief that is in conflict with materialism, and still not be a materialist. As to your example a great many atheists believe in all manner of things - the only thing that they share in common is that they do not believe in God.

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    Well no, I don't even see a relationship between animism and atheism, let alone why they would be mutually exclusive.
  16. Bunyip

    Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

    Wouldn't atheism and animism have to be mutually exclusive in order for that to work? In what way are atheism and animism mutually exclusive?

    Science Proves Nature Was Created

    Just thought that you may want to look up the 'Wedge Strategy', it will pretty much explain everything.

    Science Proves Nature Was Created

    You're welcome. Talkorigins has a great site answering to the usual creationist objections to biological science, well worth a look.

    Science Proves Nature Was Created

    Sure, but only from one side clearly. You need to familiarise yourself with the scientific view. No, there is natural variation, genetic drift, adaptation, selection, inter-breeding, hybidisation, speciation and so on. As I suggested, look up a couple of biology books. By the way, the best...

    Science Proves Nature Was Created

    Well every time a cell divides due to replication errors for one example. When dna is struck by a particle and damaged, as in radiation, whenever a organism reproduces etc. There are 150,000 such variations in the average human, the probability that several express in a way that has an impact on...
