You wouldn't believe how many times I've heard the repetitive assertion that "the evidence is all around us." Yet never anything specifically demonstrated to be linked to any god/s.Your opinion would be a lot more interesting if you had some evidence to offer for it. Otherwise it just comes down to repetition of your claim.
That's ok. I don't take him seriously in the least. No one should. Its all bad comedy.It's hard to take you seriously when you insist on taking something literally that nobody is going to mean literally.
A medical diagnosis is based on the presenting symptoms and relevant diagnostic findings. That's an objective determination. Until such findings are made available, a physician can only opine on the possible condition, which itself relates to similar cases and symptomology. It's not a belief in the sense of the word, but rather an expert medical opinion based on current albeit limited facts or data.Religious beliefs, yes, but statistically based findings are also beliefs as applied to the individual. Medical and psychological diagnoses are prime examples. We certainly have the technology to answer many questions, but until the CAT scan is complete, the diagnosis is a belief.
There's nothing wrong with beliefs per se, as long as those beliefs are based on facts. If the facts are that someone has lied, my belief is that I won't believe him anymore. And because of the fact that I'm thirsty, I believe I'll have another beer.
We need some goddesses.I cannot argue that. But i would add Jimmy Page. Because one cannot talk of gods and not mention Led Zepplin.
No, I have standards as to what constitutes evidence.
What "evidence?" Be specific! Empty assertions are meaningless.
Agreed, which is my point. We base beliefs based on available information, which hopefully is factual. Religious belief is based on scripture and other subjective evidence. Nothing wrong with a properly held belief. It when these beliefs are based on falsehoods that they become problematic.A medical diagnosis is based on the presenting symptoms and relevant diagnostic findings. That's an objective determination.

A god of the gaps argument based on an assumption.The fact that anything exists at all.
Thats nice. Prove it!God created the universe and all the material stuff you consider evidence.
I cannot say how the universe came into existence as I do not know. That's an honest answer, unlike assertions that "God did it," which cannot be demonstrated.If you disagree tell me how the universe came into being. Be specific, empty assertions are meaningless.

I think the issue here is how the term "belief" is used. It can be too easily misconstrued. I wouldn't apply it to something that has some objective basis.Agreed, which is my point.

I loves me some goddesses. Especially of the groundskeeper varietyWe need some goddesses.
Guitar slingin' Serbian. Love Ana.
Love that song. Long undulating repetitive beat. Kinda like some of the arguments here. Only in a good way.
If you ever get a chance to see Anne Harris, do not pass it up. I saw here in Vegas at the Big Blues Bender. It could be this performance. I forgot what year we went. Lol. Anyway, some gods and an amazing fiddle playing goddess on stage.

Your opinion would be a lot more interesting if you had some evidence to offer for it. Otherwise it just comes down to repetition of your claim.A lot of evidence exits all around you. That you can't see or feel it is your failure, no one else's.

No, you didn't. All you offered is am assumption based on ignorance. A classic god of the gaps fallacy.I've just offered you evidence. You're too blind to see it.

No you didn't. All you said was along the lines of "all around you, therefore god." That's not evidence. That's mere belief. It's no more evidence for a god than it is for fairies, leprechauns, or gnomes. All the atoms composing everything around us including ourselves, was formed in the core of a star. That is fact. "God did it" is not fact. It's belief.I provided you evidence, and really the evidence is all around you. You can't see is because you don't want to see it.
Such as?Have you even considered that there is evidence you just haven't recognized yet?
No, just belief.I've just offered you evidence. You're too blind to see it.
No, you didn't. You just claimed that it's there. That's a boring post, just as boring as someone said the same to you.I've just offered you evidence. You're too blind to see it.

I don't think you understand what constitutes evidence. But by all means, explain what portions of the universe have you seen that I have not?No. it's evidence. Evidence is not limited to what Gordy thinks evidence is, Gordy has limited abilities in that regard. He see's only a portion of the universe.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" --- Carl Sagan“There are more things that exist in heaven and on the earth than that which exist in your philosophy”
"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence" --- Christopher HitchensYou too are blind. "There is none so blind as he who will not see."
A deliberate refusal to understand or accept reality can be a form of blindness more profound than a lack of sight.
