Or, I could be asking why humans are yet to forget theism.

The same scientists that built the computers upon which you type. The same scientists that conceived modern medicine, modern transportation, etc.

Are you saying an infinite being has some "best" measure of performance? Is this universe's creation the end of God's supposedly unending power?
December 17, 2018 at 20:58
You may want to spend more than 4 minutes to go over the data I presented to you. The difference between religious data and scientific knowledge, is t...

Could you explain what you mean here? As well as provide citations for your claim?
December 14, 2018 at 20:36
Unlikely doesn't mean impossible. You may want to check out Appeal to improbability fallacy, which you are committing to in your response above.

The absence of a crew member, that is, not being present at a bank robbery, does indeed require the crew member to do some reasoning. It still doesn't...
December 14, 2018 at 20:30
In other words, the absence of a person in a bank robbery, means that the person was actually at the bank robbery? I think the analogy above closely m...

Ironically, the dictionaries correctly identify that atheism tends to mean lack of belief in the existence of Gods. Your dictionaries show that primar...
December 14, 2018 at 20:14
Wikipedia/atheism states atheism to broadly mean lack of belief in Gods. One doesn't require authority to lack belief in something, although one would...
December 11, 2018 at 18:17
Wikipedia/atheism then goes on to say that in a very narrow sense, atheism means a positive claim that no Gods exist. It is quite clear that atheism h...

See it in the 4th sentence of this section, on the same page.

This may be a personal question, but you can chose to not grant me a response. What is your view on fornication, and how do you resist "temptation" in...
December 08, 2018 at 03:27
Fact remains, astrology still concerns deity stuff. As we can see, it's no longer a part of modern science. When you strip away the silliness from arc...
December 08, 2018 at 03:25
Yes, although what follows is not much of an argument, but rather a reporting of facts. The point is that obviously, mankind had not always had modern...

If so, what are these extra religious things that these atheists would keep?
December 08, 2018 at 03:19
Are you saying highly atheistic countries keep religious things with them, beyond loving thy neighbor, and the other nice ways to treat each other, or...

What remnants are you talking about btw?

Any data there? And I hope you're not referring to Bibles when it comes to behaviour lessons, because murder, rape, slavery etc are all endorsed/condo...

Science by definition, is about minimizing errors, in how we describe the cosmos, i.e. Science is evolving. Science seeks to find the conclusion, whil...

I did learn them. In fact, atheists tend to know more about religious texts, than theists.

Why limit yourself to just one science book or document?
December 07, 2018 at 22:27
Data shows that religion does not provide any sensible well roundness.

I wasn't referring to the Christian. The tribe likely has a religion as well. The tribe, absent modern science, and probably absent atheism is rather ...

I'll answer your new question, after you've answered my old question regarding astrology's removal from modern science.
December 07, 2018 at 14:27
Excellent.
December 07, 2018 at 14:25
I don't think the stats mean what you think it means. Bottom line is, there are more atheists in the scientific community, compared to the general pub...
