(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The thread that was the shining light of the last two debating sections(ugh, really?) that was God vs Fact has been trashed or something(ugh, again) so this thread is here to take the place of that one.

Some extremely basic terminology...

Theist: believes in a god(s).
Deist: believes in a god(s) that created the universe but subsequently abandoned it and/or believes that reason and observation of the natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of god(s).
Atheist: does not believe in a god(s).
Agnostic: does not claim to know if a god exists or believes that such knowledge cannot be known, depending on the definition. Typically when I personally use this label I'm referring to the former.
Gnostic: claims to know one way or the other if a god exists.

There are some more but that's the basics down. I'm an agnostic atheist. What are you and why?

Edit: Thanks to whichever mod/admin butchered the thread's title and poll. The poll now makes no sense whatsoever.

You're confusing belief with perceived knowledge. Belief has absolutely no impact whatsoever on what is actually true, whatever that may be.

These are my beliefs, I give no fucks at what you believe, and I know that I'm right, Jesus Christ <3

Bollocks. When we're debating reality there are only right or wrong answers, and if we don't know, then the only correct answer is "I don't know". Superimposing your deity there is a wrong answer.

Why?

Belief has everything to do with it, if i believe there is a God which there is then that is fact, there is no proof disproving it that is false and if there was there would be a law like a scientific law.

I'm Deist, I believe there is a God or some type of Super-being out there.

Let me explain...

This half is wrong

This half is right. Therefore, the post was half right.

Do scientists views on the universe make them arrogant?
