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.
That's ok. I don't take him seriously in the least. No one should. Its all bad comedy.
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.
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.
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 god of the gaps argument based on an assumption.
Thats nice. Prove it!
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.
Who created God?
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.

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.
TMI...
No, you didn't. All you offered is am assumption based on ignorance. A classic god of the gaps fallacy.
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.
Such as?
No, just belief.
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 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?
