    You’re very welcome. :-)

    If you should ever have anymore questions, feel free to ask. While I do not claim to be the most educated atheist walking about, I do make the willful effort to […]

    As I said before, there are atheists who make the positive assertion that no gods […]

    An agnostic does not necessarily “believe” both options by being undecided. Atheism is not the positive rejection of gods, it is not the belief that no gods exist, though there are atheists […]

    I very much appreciated your input on heritability and faults in genetics and the simple explanation of evolution, especially the analogue to erosion.

    I noted several of your points in short in the interest of brevity, please pardon my paraphrasing.

    That’s an interesting topic. I’ll post a reply after I do some reading regarding the evolution of morality in humans. I’ve never had a discussion on this before.

    I would honestly like a discussion on the topic of morality. If we can assume that morals have existed before organized religions, how did they first come to be? At what point did morals out way instinct?

    @silent-radiance You can try reading Schrödingers book. It is hardly 30 pages long and you can find its ebook easily on the first page of a Google search. By the way, if you love science I recommend you to read […]

    I agree with you on all this. I, personally don’t adhere to any specific religious beliefs. It’s just that I find it hard to imagine that there is no driving force behind all this, the birth of […]
