Evolutionists and atheists (but I repeat myself) are so touchy about their religion to even question it will bring the worst out in them.

@hippyjoe1955 uhh, how come atheists have religions?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@JBird You don't know what religion is? Wow. Here is a hint. Religion does not require a God. It is simply a firmly held belief or world view.
JBird · F
@hippyjoe1955 wow, that's a first.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@JBird Look it up in a dictionary. According to Merriam Webster religion: "a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith". Fits evolutionist/atheists to a tee.

@hippyjoe1955 if you have time, check out the meaning of atheism too. Also find out if the definition have anything related to 'faith'. I didn't know definition of those words can be twisted into another meaning

@JBird Faith as in strongly held belief? Atheists have faith in their beliefs or else they wouldn't be atheists. Religion is not reliant on God. Religion is a belief strongly held.
JBird · F
@hippyjoe1955 what 'strongly held beliefs' do they have?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@JBird They strongly believe that there is no God and that we are here as the result of purely natural causes.
JBird · F
@hippyjoe1955 that's not a belief. It's actually a strongly and scientifically proved fact.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@JBird Of course it is a belief. They have no proof of it.
JBird · F
@hippyjoe1955 yes, they have. You're a Christian, right?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@JBird They have what? They have no proof. They have religious belief. Yes Yahweh called me to be a Christian. Of HIM I have a lot of evidence.
JBird · F
I haven't finished yet. And you believe there's only one God and that's Yahweh, right?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@JBird I KNOW there is YAHWEH that created all that is including me. There are lots of gods that people worship. Even atheists have their god.
JBird · F
@hippyjoe1955 really? What's atheist's God called? Cos I am kind of atheist and I don't recall ever having a God.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@JBird They like to think that reasoning is god. Or science is god. They conveniently leave out anything that contradicts their god.
JBird · F
@hippyjoe1955 also, if according to you if Yahweh is the only true God, how others are claiming they have their God as true God?
JBird · F
@hippyjoe1955 what? 🤣🤣 Lol. I can't believe this. Again look upon definition of atheism, before you hurt yourself.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@JBird Evidence. My faith is based on Evidence. I have experienced what others have experienced going back thousands of years. Those who serve other gods can not make the same claim including atheists. Their god is something of their own creation.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@JBird Look up the meaning of god. The joke is on you.
JBird · F
@hippyjoe1955 no, you got it wrong. Unlike atheists don't serve science. They survive with it and trust on it because science never lies. Evidence of science comes from experiments not from spiritual experiences that some can't get. One can deny the existence of God but not on science. People can live without God, but not without science. If you are ill, go to hospital. Now how does medicines from hospital work? Of course, with science. Unlike Gods, science always give strong evidences. If you deny science, you denying your own existence. Science is not an entity like God. It's like framework that determines how universe works. Without it, nothing would exist. Science doesn't care if you worship it 24/7. No matter how much you try pray to science, it doesn't work the way you want to. Why, the device you are using are the results of science and technology too. Looks like the joke is back on you too.
JBird · F
Btw, look up upon meaning of science too.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@JBird Why so you don't have to? I know what science means do you? I used to do scientific research. How about you?

@hippyjoe1955 [quote]a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith[/quote]

1. there's no proof that gods exist (otherwise we'd all be theists)
2. there's no proof that gods don't exist (they might be lurking around a mountain-top somewhere)
3. in any event, there's no compelling necessity to even postulate gods, and the postulation explains nothing... it merely tries to explain everything away.
4. therefore, I have no gods... I’m an agnostic atheist

Where in there is a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith?

No, faith as in [i]pretending[/i] to know something that is not actually known
