Post: God vs Science
02-05-2013, 10:02 PM #1
(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.

Interesting I never heard of Pascal's Wager until you brought it up. I looked it up and it is basically what I was saying lol

My reply was going to be exactly the same as Clutch's. So did the site he referred you too highlight the fallacies and issues associated with Pascal's Wager, and this way of thinking in general?

What's up with so many Atheist now... Are people now just realizing that they think god isn't real... I mean back then mostly everybody in their country believed in their own god except a low ammount of people... now there's a lot more, maybe one day in the future schools will have to teach children that god isn't real and that science proves that, and when you die you cease to exist.

Both. I believe some myths on Science, and some on God. These questions are just one of the questions that people have a long time debating about ^^

I, I believe in God because I was instilled birth, but I think more in science.
