That is not true.

The only thing they create is to make their own version of mud house, thats all. They could not even make their own clothes to cover their unclothedness, not to talk of creating equipments for work So, no goal. A Person still Wins! Try again.

Yes, I do. It’s the same amount of information that I have that the monster under your bed does not exist.
does this information also apply to aliens and warmholes?

Why do you need to believe aliens or warmholes exist?
If you can know something, why believe it?
The people that called it “hypothesis” are not stupid.

deism is not a religion. You have to understand deism before you argue against it.




it doesn’t matter whether you call it deistic god or theistic god, it all depends on your imagination.
atheism also is an imagination because it doesn't have evidence either for its claims that a creator cannot exist. It depends on lack of evidence which is a fallacy of appealing to ignorance.

A lack of evidence for something is not absense of evidence, that's why atheism is flawed.
A lack of evidence for a creator is not absence of evidence for it. Just like warmholes and aliens

The philosopher and mathematician Betrand Russell waded in on the argument. He used the example of a ‘cosmic teapot’ to illustrate his point. He said that, even though it could not be refuted, no one should believe him if he claimed, without proof, that a tiny teapot was orbiting the sun between Earth and Mars (Boncheck, 2016).

In similar vein, Martin Burton, Director of Cochrane UK, wrote that an invisible unicorn had been grazing in his office and invited readers to prove him wrong

You are not making sense bro.

I want you to know that the “A lack of evidence is not absesne of evidence” coined by carl sagan doesn’t mean the jargons you are saying.

The actual quote by Carl Sagan appears in his book The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark and is part of a discussion of various logical fallacies (in this case, the “appeal to ignorance” fallacy):

Appeal to ignorance—the claim that whatever has not been proved false must be true, and vice versa (e.g., There is no compelling evidence that UFOs are not visiting the Earth; therefore UFOs exist—and there is intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe. Or: There may be seventy kazillion other worlds, but not one is known to have the moral advancement of the Earth, so we're still central to the Universe.) This impatience with ambiguity can be criticized in the phrase: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.


Using Sagan’s examples as a guide, the closest statement one could make with regard to the existence of God is that it’s fallacious to claim that a lack of any evidence that God doesn’t exist is evidence that God actually does exist.

No, because aliens are beings that probably exist in the universe. To them we would be the “aliens”. Given the vastness of the universe, there is nothing extraordinary about the probable existence of aliens.

Wormholes are hypothetical ways to travel in the universe based on current theories of the “fabric” of spacetime.

What is deism if not theism without the dogma and doctrines of religion. It’s the same old nonsensical claims that can be summarily dismissed.

If you say so. Atheists are those who can’t quite dismiss the concept of gods altogether. An atheist usually holds on to the concept of god from whichever tradition he was indoctrinated into.

Are there any atheists because of the god Serapis or the god Amun? I doubt it.
Does anyone actually think the god Serapis or Amun exists? I doubt it. But some believe they were “past beings”

I’m pretty sure you’re not “agnostic” about the god Baal Ammon.

But you want to claim “agnosticism”‘about the god called………….God. Lol

deism is theism but not religion. Hope you dig that.
All theistic beliefs are not religious in nature.
Religion is an organized sect that performs repetitive rituals to a diety, in deism, no one, necessarily need to worship or revere any deity.

No, an atheist is someone who doesn't see an evidence for the existence of a god/creator hence he rejects it utterly without even making attempt to find evidence against it to wait for an evidence against it.

An atheist can be likened to someone who says aliens do not exist because there's no evidence that they do. Of course this person is a stupiddd person, he should have just waited for us to explore further, knowing fully well that we do not even understand anything yet.

An atheist is like someone who takes a cup of water from the ocean and then concludes that fishes don't exist. An atheist does not really know how everything started, but he's concluding that nothing started it because we have no evidence for or against yet. It does not make sense.

Atheist are straightforward and flawed thinkers, they cannot recognized the fact that what we don't know is way more than what we currently know. They are close minded already when we can just agree that we don't know, it's why I think it's a silly way of reasoning.

There's also no clear path to procuring evidence that the everything started on its own.

The chances that universe started on its own and it didn't is still 50:50. So why in a haste to reach a conclusion that something which could be what deist refer as a creator started it?

It chance that aliens exist is still also 50:50. Only evidence can sway this balance.

It's fact, atheists cannot substantiate their conclusions using demonstrable evidence for or against.

They are as flawed as theists. Smart people don't jump into conclusions when knowledge is insufficient.
