Well, obviously. Without a closer definition of "God" clearly it's not possible, even in principal, to prove nothing of that sort exists.

Which isn't our problem, anyway - we're not the ones making the
baseless claims for it where it is simply irrelevant.

Even after all these years, the in-your-face moron who has no reason
even to be here, _still_ has no idea what it means to be an atheist.

Okay, you lying liar who lies, if that
is the case then stop lying and...

PROVE that atheists exist. And only use
evidence that you yourself accept. Which
means, yes, if personal claims/testimony
is acceptable, theists have long since
"Proved" that God exists.

PROVE that abiogenesis ever happened.

...there's two baseless claims you

Hey, that's like mana from heaven!!!

That is, until you realize all the ketchup is gone and the
fry has waxed colder than a the tit of a witch.

Then you scream:

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"The temporal gods have forsaken me!"

Then you grab your little life-less friend, and lament:

"If only i had gotten there in time, little buddy, we could
have done great things together, you and me"

Very true, no argument there, but it works
both ways. Given the standard of "Proof"
maintained here, you are unable to establish
the existence of atheists.

If it works the way you want for atheists, it also works for the theists.....there is no existence of theists, right? And this means, there is no pixie!!!

I've pointed that out many times, but you
always denied it.

If personal claims/testimony is valid evidence,
if it "Proves" the existence of atheists then
it proves the existence of God.

As usual, the proven serial liar lies through his teeth. He turns
challenges to theists to put up or shut up, into demands for proof
that would convince a solipsist that we exist.

Which he knows is deliberately dishonest.

It's treats the ordinary for which there is everyday evidence, as the
same as the baseless and unevidenced.

And he doesn't even fool himself.

As usual, the proven serial liar
So "Prove" that atheists exist. Use only
"Evidence" which you consider valid. If
you accept personal claims/testimony in
the case of supposed atheists, but not
when theists present the same kind of
evidence, that demonstrates that it is
NOT the evidence itself which you are
basing your views on, but your feelings
towards the conclusion.

So what's your excuse for FAILING to "Prove"
that atheists exist?

Wanna give it another try? Just remember, whatever
"Evidence" you use will be setting a standard for
acceptability for evidence, one which you agree
upon even if it's coming from the theists.

Meaning, if self reports/testimony is acceptable
for establishing the existence of atheists, it's
they are acceptable for establishing the existence
of God. Anything less would be utter hypocrisy of
the lowest order.

So, HOP TO IT! You go right ahead and "Prove"
the existence of atheists. That, or seriously
re-think all your talking about "Proving" God.

One or the other.

Personal testimony _is_ admissible when
...when it agrees with your pre determined
conclusion. Exactly.

You're transparent. Someone has to be biased,
a partisan -- if not out right dogmatic -- in

Nothing he hasn't said before. It's simple intellectual honesty.
Though I doubt he was talking about any specific God, whether
OdinAllfather or Anubis or Huehuecoyatl or YHWH.

In fact he had talked about a designer in an earlier interview with Ben Stein:

"It could come about in the following way: it could

Nothing he hasn't said before. It's simple intellectual honesty.
Though I doubt he was talking about any specific God, whether
OdinAllfather or Anubis or Huehuecoyatl or YHWH.

I agree, it could be an extra-terrestrial intelligence from the
distant past. (wouldn't surprise me if we didn't do something of the
sort once we become advanced enough) It could be that there is an
actual eternal god. (hopefully he wouldn't be as egocentric and
sadistic as Christians would have us believe)

In truth, when you don't actually Know, anything might be possible. I
think the only position that makes sense, is to say you don't know and
be satisfied with that.

All cultures throughout history have invented creation myths to
explain how they got there. Volcanoes , tidal waves, fierce storms,
etc., satisfied primitive tribes, as man advanced his gods did too.
Any explanation that makes men feel safe, secure, and seems to give
them purpose, they will cling to. Other men know this and exploit it.

You can back it up by describing three groups....

- The Paraha from the remote interior of Brazil, whose language
doesn't have the words to frame or communicate the idea of god(s)

- Those Eastern religions which don't have gods and are sometimes
called philosophies

- Western atheists who don't teach their children gods

Children of these groups don't grow up believing in them.

Although with the last one, often well-meaning in-laws, the
babysitter, etc will sometimes teach them to.

But there are plenty of atheists here, who were raised theism-free,
especially those from Britain and Western Europe.

this thing were they define [A] as [B]

Example #1: Redefining AGNOSTICS as
ATHEISTS and then claiming that ATHEISTS
don't believe there is no God(s).

Example #2: Redefining religious beliefs
and not religious beliefs in order to
pretend that everyone is born an atheist,

The Piraha, you ignorant jackass. And they
DO have religious beliefs. They believe in
spirits and create jewelry to ward off these
spirits.

"Their decoration is mostly necklaces, used
primarily to ward off spirits."

"It could come about in the following way: it could

that if you look at the details of biochemistry and

be a higher intelligence from elsewhere in the
Universe."
I've said something like that myself. Here. Repeatedly.
"The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for
our wits to grow sharper"

Truer words about our existence have never been spoken.

There are many so-called "theories" regarding how life came
into being in our Universe, but _all_ of them are missing
one vital ingredient: *EVIDENCE*.

Granted, some are more plausible than others, but, while the
possibility of that which Dawkins outlines here is indeed
"plausible", there is absolutely no evidence to support it.
Of course, the theists have their own "theory", however,
compared with Dawkins, they are intellectually lazy. They'd
rather imagine that some magical god created all life simply
so it would have something to love and hate -- i find that
to be totally implausible.

If we are to entertain these wild theories of creation, then
we'd need to be more honest with ourselves as to the reality
of such. And acting as though some cosmic moral imperative
is underpinning our so-called creation is the height of
foolishness and evidence that unfettered subjectivity is the
_true_ root of all evil in this Universe.

SOLIPSISM -- YOU SHORTSIGHTED, INTOXICATING, SELF-DELUDED
CULTISH GURU -- I SNEERING DIRECTLY AT _YOU_!!!

So, if we were indeed "created", and that's a big old *IF*
-- the kind of "if" that people pull out of their arses on a
daily basis -- it is much more likely that our creators
created all the various lifeforms we know on our tiny little
planet, *NOT* because they were bored to tears and needed
hapless victims to project emotions upon, but simply because
they _could_.

Of course, if we accept all this creation mumbo jumbo, we
quickly find ourselves in the recursive tar pits of logic,
asking ourselves: "Who created the creators".

As for Dawkins, his "theory" satisfies this troubling
question with a logical: "Our creators are an advanced form
of intelligence that naturally evolved". So, in this sense,
Dawkins, a single man, has pulled a far more plausible
theory out of his arse than could be gleamed by billions of
theists over the last umteen fucking centuries.

But there's a darker side to this whole creation mumbo
jumbo...

For if we discover one day that we are nothing but the
equivalent of various forms of bacteria swimming around in a
vat in some higher intelligence's science lab, i think the
theists -- who have propagated these myths underpined with
moral imperatives and fatherly love from "god" -- are going
to have a very difficult time dealing with that sort of
disappointment. As for us atheists, it really won't be much
of a big deal. Life will go on virtually unchanged. But for
those who dedicated their lives (and their supposed "after-
life") to these lies, how the hell are they going to find
purpose after such an earth-shattering revelation?

If you ask me -- and being that i'm guided by a pragmatist
perspective, and all -- i'd say a higher intelligence could
make the best use of us "tiny lifeforms" by throwing us all
in a ziplock bag and using the bag as an ass warmer on cold
days. But hey, that's just if you ask me!

In conclusion, we simply don't know enough about our
universe to latch on to every "feel good" theory that
happens to exit our anal cavity. Heck, we have not even
ventured beyond our own moon, and yet, these damned theist
have the hubris to draw definitive conclusions concerning
questions of such cosmic proportion.

In the end, i think it'd be less of a blow to their ego if
there really is no creator at all, as i don't believe they
can handle living in a universe in which "the creator" is
indifferent to their existence and well-being.

We might not have been created by super-intelligent aliens on
purpose, but might be the result of their not sterilizing their
deep space probes effectively: life evolving from the remnants
of life - the waste products, even - attached to their vehicles.
