That's philosophy is it?

On the abundance of atheists in science:

Another possible source for the initial surplus of atheists is pure chance. For example, the top universities might have happened to recruit more atheists than usual for a short time. (This is what mathematicians call a statistical fluctuation.)

How about that? It isn't because scientists realise that god isn't necessary and is also a human construct, it's just a statistical anomaly.

To prove the argument from design:

To see how questionable the argument is, compare it to the following argument about the human brain: Human thought is simply a resultant of small natural events involving neurons and their connections. None of these events involves any design; each of them is mechanistic, fully obeys all natural laws, and is caused by other natural events. Therefore, the products of human thought cannot really be products of design.

If we applied the skeptics' standard for design to the human brain instead of to Earth's biosphere, we would conclude that humans never designed anything! So much for Michelangelo and Edison!

Because the human brain is a result of chemistry it cannot design anything; ergo everything is designed!

Now this is just a quick flick through the writings....scrawlings....I don't know what they are. But I do notice that he has some books for sale, God and Darwin - Buddies! and God, Son of Quark. And I guess if you're trying to sell some books you need some publicity and attacking a reputable author tends to generate publicity. Usually.

Uh, no.

He said it was a POSSIBLE source (among possibly many) for the abundance of atheists in science.

And, scientists don't REALIZE anything of the kind. Scientists construct predictive models about emprically observed regularities.

And, I won't go on with the rest. I'm already done with you, except as a possible future source of satire. I'm tired of wasting time with idiots on the Internet

Apparently it is, because davidm says so.

Damn did he peg you!



My viral treatment is already achieving results. Most likely I'm going to be alive at least way longer than you'd prefer.
