    Evolution of what?

    Great! Now try to set up a hypothesis and do some actual science work.

    Do you like that you wouldn’t have existed at all ?

    No, but you wouldn't hear me complain otherwise.

    My View of Skepticism

    I'm not convinced by people. I'm convinced by arguments.

    My View of Skepticism

    Sure, I view skepticism as more than just an immediate dismissal. It's about asking questions and investigate if a claim is true or not. It's withholding belief until sufficient reason and/or evidence is presented. But I don't think you can accuse Dawkins of "simplistic dismissal" when he...

    Is it Reasonable to Compare Gods with Bigfoot, Fairies, Unicorns, and Leprechauns?

    What is the "objective evidence"? I saw footage of Bigfoot. Is that objective evidence? What is the purpose of the concept of God? And what is the purpose of the concept of a fairy? It's not about the form. When making the analogy I think it relates to the available (or lack thereof) evidence...

    Nontheist

    I don't go by intent (I don't know what someone's intention is). I go by what someone says/writes. If you didn't know whether or not my interpretation matches the intent, why would you say that I'm confusing what he says?

    Nontheist

    Is it? That's not my experience. Especially not on sites like these when talking philosophy were being precise in language is important. I can only go by what people say/write, not what they mean. Disbelieve is not-believe. That doesn't mean you believe it to be false.

    Nontheist

    I totally agree with the las 3 sentences. But that's not what was being said. TS stated: "I neither believe one exists nor disbelieve one exists." That is about the existence of god (X exists). Not about the non-existence of god (X does not exists) And as you stated rightfully: "One is...

    Islam vs western values

    You present it as it were a good thing. I live in Europe and I'm very happy Christianity went through the Entlightenment. It's a good thing that gay couples can marry. I wish it for everyone in the world.

    Is knowledge good or bad thing ?

    Can you honestly respond to the examples and questions that are being given? This is your thread. Everytime someone comes up with examples and objections you either avoid answer them or give an obscure counter example as if that would be a rebuttal agains the point they were making. Try to...

    Is knowledge good or bad thing ?

    You stated that it is better to have knowledge. I asked why and you stated that is was to "overcome own mistakes". If it's "neither good or bad", why would you say that it is better to have knowledge?
