Agreed Ruth. Some atheists I've come across, talk as if science is the sole property of atheism.
To the OP Unknown soldier. I've seen some good civil debates and discussions between Christians and atheists. Craig v Hitchens for example having mutual respect, and still having a laugh. Of course on forums it varies but can also be respectful, so it's all fine by me, (as being adults).
Ruth is saying that science CANNOT be used to test the god hypothesis. Did you even read her post?
You should go back and read Hitchens' books and watch his videos again - he had no respect for magical thinking and was NOT shy about expressing his disdain for the behavior of some of the apologists he debated, including high-ranking Cardinals in the Roman Church and leading Jewish scholars. What debates have you been watching?
The bit in bold was just my opinion added.
The debates with Craig V Hitchens.. is as I said, what I watched. Between them I thought quite enjoyable to listen to from both men - wittingly entertaining. Quite civil and no whining complaints from Craig, especially when as you say, Hitchens would express his personal disdain for particular apologists or cardinals...
