I have tried in the past to get such people to use what few grey cells they possess, and I was permanently banned from Twitter as a result.

anglophone replies on Aug 16, 2020:

@prometheus None of "them" got banned. I was told by Twitter that I was banned for violating their Terms of Service. It seems that "they" are allowed to mock me personally but I was not allowed to mock their claims. Go figure!

anglophone replies on Aug 3, 2020:

To answer your question, the word "belief" is highly ambiguous. By way of illustration, I offer the following examples. 1. I believe God exists. 2. I believe the Sun will rise at dawn tomorrow. 3. I believe I have about $3,000 in that bank account. 4. Everybody believes in something. I believe I will have another beer. It is my experience that the word "faith" is most often used as per meaning 1 above. Your comment seems to me to be founded on the idea of "models of the natural world". There are religious models, of which the Torah, the Bible and the Koran are examples. There are models that emerge from the Scientific Method, such as Snell's Law, Newton's Laws of Motion, and the Theory of General Relativity. Some models are more useful than others: the model provided by Genesis is trashy, while the model provided by the Theory of General Relativity is very useful. I hope this helps.

anglophone replies on Jul 21, 2020:

I am an atheist for the simple reason that nobody has ever produced any falsifiable evidence to support the existence claim of any god or gods in the last 5,000 years. All such gods are as real as the invisible unicorns at the bottom of my garden. Moreover, it is trivial to show that both the God of the Torah and the God of the Bible cannot exist.

I had to dismount to remove a branch across the path, slipped in the rivulet, and ended up on my back looking up with water running down from my neck to my waist (and beyond!). My horse looked at me as if to say "Hey Dad, what are you doing down there?". Yes, I also laughed.
