actually he used his Word, its far more powerful and more authoritative than yours, or mine for that matter, although it seems we all want in part to have our declarations to be Truth.(after all we like being “as-god” or similarly “you are your own god”). such as your words of “pragmatic and logical” (both are subjective judgments) just because you have declared them as such, does not make them so, I find them illogical and out right speculative. an atheists premise, boils down to, you (and I) are far less creative than complete unintelligence.

Uh hunh. That was a very poorly-written and confusing post, but I think I got the gist of it. Tell ya what - you keep thinking that way - and I’ll stick to using the best tool available in the search for Truth - science. Like it or not, the same tool (Science), is what gave us antibiotics, genetic engineering, surgery, radio, televison, computers, automobiles, aircraft, spaceflight, the internet, nuclear power and a host of other gifts that have made our lives healthier, longer, and far more easy to bear and enjoyable to live than in the past. What has religion ever accomplished, besides being the cause for many if not most of the bloody conflicts in human history? Which is more logical, a scientific theory based on empirical evidence or surrendering one’s will and reason to atavistic (and conflicting) dogma?

“you (and I) are far less creative than complete unintelligence.”

Hunh?
