Children - religion the default position ?

And Jc lies again

[OH MY WORLD!]

No I'm not. Be honest with yourself. Even they famous atheists of the days of yore were always thinking and writing about a God they told us didn't exist. Today, Dick head Dawkins makes a lot of money thinking and writing about a God he tells us does not exist. What makes you the special atheist, the different one, Mr. Nearly? Too funny you.

Dear Rhiannon,

Post 238, just the way kids look at the world, only reason they don't like the research is it bites at one of their tired old arguments.

Johnny most people are interested in what is true and what is not.  It really doesn't follow that  people who are motivated enough to join in the debate somehow believe the opposite of what they believe. I find your line of reasoning unfathomable.

I don't think there is much "reasoning" involved in JC's line of thinking.

If you say so, JC!

What do you mean by the term 'true', torridon?  Is it only that which fits a scientific understanding of the universe or does it include aspects of life that science doesn't even attempt to deal with?

You are dealing with two different forms of 'truth' here.

One - 'true' because it has been scientifiically proven to be the truth.

Two - 'true' because one or more people believe it to be true (from them) regardless of any possibility of scientific proof ever being available.

The two are totally incompatible and cannot be compared one to the other.
