Atheists believe in miracles more than believers

[YoursTrue]

Well considering it is false in all of it's conjectures, no I would not agree, all you need for further explanation is just to read this thread and see what we are actually saying.

I am rather disappointed that you actually spent any time at that website and even considered it, you really ought to know better by now unless you are just in total denial.

I actually didn't spend time reading it once it was pointed out that it was not the site I thought it was. But as usual you can think what you want and make assertions to that degree.

 

[YoursTrue]

Oh, and @Pogo, are you saying though with or without the website that atheists really do not necessarily think that the earth and life on it came about by chance and nothing else? Even "natural selection" or "selection of the fittest" is primarily by chance. Unless of course you want to argue semantics, which I am not inclined to do.

 

[YoursTrue]

I know I don't. However I don't speak for other atheists.

Again, thank you for your response. Without pressuring you just so I understand exactly what it is you are saying (I say that with a small smile because I wouldn't want to seem as if I'm badgering you -- heavens to Betsy or Sam, no!) you, as an atheist, do not think or believe life on the earth came about by chance, is that a fair appraisal of your idea?

No, you are only demonstrating again that you are either lying about even basic understanding or that years of explanation that while Random Mutation is random, Natural Selection is anything but indicating a learning disability.
Or do you have a third possible explanation for your ignorance?

Natural selection explains what happens after there is life. It doesn't explain how life started. Not semantics just a fact. A fact that has been explained to you numerous times by many people.

take a course in basic discrete algebra and set theory which is normally taught in the first years of HS and come back when you can answer the question for yourself.

lol, thanks for a non-answer.

I don't know how life came about. You can decide for yourself if your appraisal is fair.

Well the first proposition you suggest (that I am lying about basic understanding) is wrong. And your other two propositions are -- I'll leave that open ...

 

[YoursTrue]

I don't know how life came about. You can decide for yourself if your appraisal is fair.

OK, so you think that life may not have come about by chance. OK, thank you. I'm trying to understand your comments about your viewpoint, thanks again.

Another creationist false dichotomy, not chance leaves all other possibilities and really says nothing as you and @leroy so frequently confuse.

Just recapping. By the way, the more I learn, the more abstruse (yup) the concept of natural selection becomes.

 

[Pogo]

So you won't tell us why you behave the way you do, not really surprised, just disappointed,

Well you may be correct since the word means incomprehensible to one of ordinary understanding.

No. I don't know how life came about.

What's the dichotomy? Either life started by chance or it did not start by chance. Now you're saying maybe it did, maybe it didn't?

 

[Pogo]

What's the dichotomy? Either life started by chance or it did not start by chance. Now you're saying maybe it did, maybe it didn't?

And not chance includes basic chemistry and the Flying Spaghetti Monster and untold other possibilities.

 

[YoursTrue]

No. I don't know how life came about.

I see. Have you figured if life didn't come about by chance what the alternatives might be? I can only figure philosophically that if life did not come about by chance then the opposite would be true. That is-- it did not come about by chance. So I'll leave it there for now. Because -- if it didn't come about by chance, then what? (OK, I'll leave it there for now...)

 

[YoursTrue]

eh -- sure -- (lol) about "not chance..." like basic chemistry not chance --

 

[YoursTrue]

righto.

 

[YoursTrue]

You want to know why I behave the way I do? Like what? Wanting to know what you believe and why?
