My music is wonderful! I include Bach, Vivaldi...   I love lots of music for music's sake.

Out of interest, Bach is the most atheist music I can think of. It shows us infinite possibility in the cadence, and you know what? The further I peer down his score, the less chance I have of seeing an old bloke causing death and destruction.

There is no evidence for a lack of a God, but there is no evidence for it either. The flying teapot has the same amount of evidence.

There is not a single scientist who disagrees with the no evidence for a god. Not one. Where you cannot explain natural phenomena, it is through not having the the knowledge to understand just yet. Eventually, a theory exists that stands true till it is honed and even trashed in the light of further evidence. There is no qualification for the general term scientist, hence religious people call themselves scientists to prove false points, in much the same way as shampoo manufacturers invent "patented" enzymes to sound clever in TV commercials. By definition, science is about discovering what is, not proving what you want it to be.

What any of that has to do with religion is beyond me? The only link I know of is that as we learn more about the world around us, assumptions in scripture are put aside. Some people don't like that, as medeivel superstition still has a pull on shallow ignorant people. Most people with faith see it as a metaphor so have no tension between reality and fairy stories.

Perhaps one day we will find the delusion gene???



I wrote that as Musket. Sorry to any militant atheists reading, if there are any on Mudcat, for answering on your behalf. He didn't mean militant atheists, he meant people who he scorns by calling them such.
