And for the thousandth time, I'm not arguing that the logic and evidence for religious beliefs is as good as the logic and evidence for science. The quality of the logic and evidence is a different issue. I'm arguing that the religious cite logic and evidence for their beliefs, and it is either ignorant or deliberately deceptive to deny they do so.
Would you say religious and scientific conclusions are equally valid?
What did I just get done posting?
Can you codiser the possibility that what you think are clear exressions of yiur thinking are not so clear to the rst of us? Of course yur argument is yu are being clear and therest of us are stuipid.
The last quetion I asked you is important. Your reasoning is that which is used to argue that Creationism and Intellgent Design should be taught alomgside science in oublic schools.
In fact in the 90s a Christian legislator in Wa floated a bill that would require all public school sceince tects includimg higher education to have a cavet that allows the entry of Creationism and ID.
I exchanged emails with the author of the bill and was prepared to go Olympia to debate it and I exchanged emails with the chair of the committee. The bill never got out of committee.
So, the debate on this thread is not just academic or philosophical debate, it has real world consequences. At least for us atheists who want separation of church and state and religion kept out of public education.
So again. Do you consider the reasoned concussions from science and religion equally valid? Shold they be treatd as equally valid? Your mantra is us atheists don't get relgious faith and that science and religion are both faith based and that atheists demean the faith of theists.
It is not that we demaean the faith per se, itis what they try to impose based on faith.
You were clearly justifying or rationalizing religious and scientific faith as the same, which it is not. You continue to conflate faith with trust in terms of science.
So should religious and scientific 'faith' be given equal credence?
A simple yes or no will do.
