@ArishMell You have told me, but I have forgotten what agnostic means. I think it means that you believe that there could be a creator, but probably not. So to answer your question. No, you are not brain-dead if you leave open the possibility for a creator. If agnostic means that there [i]could[/i] be a creator than no you are not brain-dead.
You are only brain-dead if you think, or believe that all of your intelligence came into being billions of years ago after nothing exploded. That shit if even more insane than believing that you live on a spinning ball.
Why are you still commenting on my posts man? I thought that we were through with our communication.

@TBIman Our previous conversation was about something else, I believe.
Yes, agnosticism doubts the existence of any sort of god, rather than blindly saying there is one. It leaves open the possibility of some sort of god, but would want rather better evidence of it than simply anthologies of ancient religious beliefs.
Unlike atheism, which is outright denial based on no evidence for or against.
There is no need to swear at learning about the Universe, nor to try to sneer at anyone for doing so. That demeans you. Accepting scientific theories about it still leaves open the possibility of some supernatural force operating it.
Science and religion ask fundamentally different questions, respectively [i]How and When,[/i] and [i]By Whom and Why,[/i] so there is no need to invent any conflict between them.
Indeed, from a Christian perspective, the more we learn about it the greater and more beautiful does it reveal your God's work; while sneering at such knowledge demeans that God itself.

@ArishMell Well... at least you leave open the possibility for a creator. Evidence is key in any investigation. This is why I believe that all of us dwell upon a motionless plane. It is also how I know that no one is living, or has ever lived on a spinning ball.
There is quite literally no evidence to support the spinning ball hypothesis. If you find some be sure to send it to me so that I can see for myself why much of the world still believes in the non-sense heliocentric model of the universe.
Thanks.

@TBIman Yes, I remember that conversation, which showed that if you believe X to be true it must be true no matter how much other disbelieve or question you about it. You come over as saying only you are right.
I have not difficulty accepting others believing in God: two of my friends are ordained Anglican priests, others I have know over the years include followers of that or other Christian sects, and one or two Muslims and Jews.
I had not questioned what you believe as you make that clear. I had questioned the dogma itself, though.
Instead, I asked here a few posts back, [i]why[/i] are you so rude about any belief not matching yours irrespective of any evidence; and so rude about those who express those beliefs however sincere and knowledgable they may be?
