Subject: RE: BS: True Test of an Atheist
Not quite. Belief in *agency* (if something happens it's because something intentionally made it happen being a childhood falolacy stage) would necessarily have *preceded* our current human intelligence, leaving us with no choice but to think about it.

It's time to outgrow our evolutionary childhood and face the grown-up reality that some things just happen,like where the tornado touches down, and others have non-intentional causes, like thunder is caused but not intended by its cause.
