mank1234: Evolution: look at antibiotic resistance, breed of dogs, etc. Artificial selection works on the same principles and is testable. Religion is not divine because of 1: errors and inconsistencies in all of them, and 2: the holy books are made of the same material as any other book. Using Occams Razor, I deduce that these books are also of human origin like any other book. |

Jdazzle: Yes, my real name contains a reference to the Jewish god, but I'm not about to change it because I don't care enough about this issue, and I'm certainly not going to change it just because some offended Christian wants me to. That's laughable. |

mank1234: The quote says that it may be dismissed without evidence, not that it should be or must be. Many of the great discoveries came from wild hypotheses which later had to be proved. The problem is that many theist say that their god exists and that their religion is true. I cannot disprove the existence of their god(s) but religion being divine can be easily disproved. Evolution is absolutely not based on assumption, but on very careful and testable evidence. |

My name has a reference to god in it, but since I don't believe he exists, I'm not worried about his wrath. As for people who might be butthurt about it, I could not care less about what they think. In fact I should probably change my name to Yahweh or Allah. 1 Like |

mank1234: In theory everything should be testable scientifically. While we don't yet have the means to do so for everything, anyone who says that something is true must be prepared to show testable evidence. Otherwise it can be dismissed without further discussion.

OK so there is some disagreement about what atheists should do. Fine with me; debate and discussion should be a part of any thinker's repertoire. I personally tend to take the side of Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens (PBUH) in the sense that atheists need at least some of us to be outspoken in the same sense that missionaries and preachers are. It is not for every atheist to speak openly about their non-belief, but at least some of us should be. People who grow up in deeply religious communities need to see that there is an alternative way of looking at the world. |

promise10: It's called agnostic atheism and combines belief and knowledge. Look it up if you need more explanation. I say that there is no god but it is my opinion, not a statement of fact. |

DeepSight: I am not a conspiracy theorist and have not seen any evidence of this, however this could be true. The only problem is that standard ways of doing population reduction (diseases) cannot be easily controlled and could end up killing the people who started the plague to begin with. 1 Like |

CoolUsername: If we could bring the population down to about 1.5 to 2 billion that would be ideal for survival, in my opinion. And we may actually achieve that by the end of this century. |
