    McGrath's definition of positivism doesn't match with mine. Mine is more like: We can know and solve everything. I reject my version of positivism.

    So glad I NEVER bought into the arrogance of Dawkins' delusions.
    He may be really good for the non-discerning types.
    Couldn't understand why so many people accepted his rhetoric.

    Science cannot be tested scientifically. You can only BELIEVE it is scientific.

      @ I already answered that. Every one of the millions of experiments done using observation, hypothesis and novel testable predictions has been a test of science. You are testing science when you type on a computer.

    If people turn from atheism to religion they are still on yhe same road to Hell.
    In order to be saved a person must turn to Jesus as the one true God that became a man like us yet without sin and shed his perfect God blood on the cross as he bodily died for our sin and one must believe Jesus rose from the dead bodily to overcome death for all who will call his name and believe in their heart that he lives.

    Why are religious conservatives so obsessed with Richard Dawkins? He ranks second only to Darwin on your hit list I believe.
    For the 73,845th time, there is no atheist religion. We don't have meetings once a week, or a book, or clergy (especially not Dawkins). There are no atheist hymns which we all know the words to and we don't have ranks or tithes to worry about. Ok, now back to your obsession, already in progress.

      @@hwd7 Your information is sheer idiocy
      For instance
      "Darwin inspired eugenics which inspired Margaret Sanger which has led to the abortion of 60 million children.
      Not to mention Hitler's Holocaust and Scientific Racism."
      Darwinism was absolutely abhorrent to the Nazis. How on earth do you think their idea of a master race, which came from a man named Houston Chamberlain not Darwin, would square with being descended from primates? Margaret Sanger was a Roman Catholic of course, as was Hitler and most of the Nazi leadership. Her mother had ELEVEN children and SEVEN miscarriages, which all biographies of her agree was the source of her birth control promotion. As a Catholic her mother could not practice any form of birth control.
      You really have very little education outside of memes, so if you reply it will only cause you further embarrassment.

      So please list all the tenets of atheism and where you found them. I could list a dozen for Christianity, Judaism or Islam. Give it a shot.
