What theory? It's nothing more than a spectrum of beliefs about the existence of god. God isn't being measured at all, and one can do whatever they wish with it, although it's probably most often used to rank oneself. (As an agnostic I'm ranking myself a
#6)
- Strong theist. 100% probability of God. In the words of C.G.Jung "I do not believe, I know."
- De facto theist. Very high probability but short of 100%. "I don't know for certain, but I strongly believe in God and live my life on the assumption that he is there."
- Leaning towards theism. Higher than 50% but not very high. "I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God."
- Completely impartial. Exactly 50%. "God's existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable."
- Leaning towards atheism. Lower than 50% but not very low. "I do not know whether God exists but I'm inclined to be skeptical."
- De facto atheist. Very low probability, but short of zero. "I don't know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there."
- Strong atheist. "I know there is no God, with the same conviction as Jung knows there is one."
Are you under the impressions that although atheist s don't believe god exists, they would wait for this nonexistent being to sort something out?
C'mon E B M, your reading comprehension and reasoning here don't speak well at all for a self-proclaimed philosopher, bearded or not.
And your testy remark about atheists talking too much is also quite telling.
