PZ Myers: "There is no evidence, no explanation, no mysteries which we need to fill with this superman...of the supernatural"
Really? No mysteries at all? There is nothing that exists anywhere that we humans can't completely explain?
"The only truth to which I hold here is that there is no god and no evidence for one. If someone wants to rebut that firm rock to which atheism is anchored, that's the idea they have to address. None do...."
Not so. There have been many who have pointed to evidence of God, many who address that very issue. Since none of us know everything there is to know, those who are atheists simply hold a belief that there is no God...regardless of evidence that might point someone toward belief in God.
"I think there are religious people who are much smarter than I am even now. I do not make the logical fallacy of believing that because people are wrong in one thing, religion, they are therefore wrong in all things; I don't believe that Christians are irreparably stupid or that their gullibility about god translates into some gross systemic defect in their entire ability to reason."
Well, thanks for that at least, Mr. Myers. That's something anyway...and refreshing to hear for a change.
