    So the existence of Logical Fallacies alone SHOULD remind you that you can not accept a claim before it is objectively verified....and claim that you are a reasonable individual.Nickolasgaspar

    Sorry mate. The problem is not how lazy I am, but your inability to understand how we calculate probabilities and why percentages about your personal certainty are irrelevant to the credence of a claim....

    Yes you canuniverseness
    ok provide the "tools" by which you can arrive to a statistical figure..and I will come to your Nobel award ceremony....lol

    I know! and your quotes contradict each other. How sure are you about your atheism? Could you suggest a percentage quantifier so that others could gain a sense of how strong your atheism is?universeness
    -My atheism...again...is irrelevant to your factual wrong preconception that your degrees of personal certainty have anything to do with the statistical credence of a claim.

    lol you can not do that mrs Hillary. If you do that you leave the door open for more logical fallacies.
    If you accept a claim before it is demonstrated then you will be forced to accept all conflicting and competing claims on the same subject. In order NOT to do that you will be force to use Special Pleading and Cherry Picking or utilize your Cognitive Dissonance.
    You are arguing in favor of gullibility mrs Hillary! This is the exact tactic responsible for more than 4.300 different religions and 170+ non secular spiritual worldviews hijacking people's minds.

    So why are you threatened with punishment and judgment if you don't make the choices your god requires? How can this god give you freedom of choice and then punish you for eternity if you choose to use that choice to reject god?universeness

    rejecting God is one thing, making wrong choices is unrelated:
    if I make a wrong choice I can fix it.
    if I reject God then I gave up my freedom because I can no longer fix my mistakes.

    - If I reject god will be his fault because he was unable to provide the evidence needed to convince me.

    then being that bad in Logic is inexcusable.

    -"Stick to picking curtains and floor coverings."
    -ad hominem....these type of fallacies are expected by individuals who don't know how logic works.
    Can you make any relevant argument? I have exposed your ability to reason and your ignorance on how to calculate probabilities but you fail to explain why you are so bad in this.

    -"I referred to my own personal certainty regarding MY atheism."

    Science produces knowledge. What we humans decide to do with this knowledge is a different thing.!

    Why you use the descriptive fallacy of calling me mrs. Hillary? I'm a mr, my dear Nickolast. So that's a first fallacy, based on ignorance. Concerning the description of my intellectual performances, compared to your standards of intelligence my brain world must be a logical horror indeed. But in relation to the real world it's better equipped and more reliable. My brain isn't a logically programmed structure, or simulating it is. Knowledge about the physical world can be produced only by interacting with it, and because of that, lives will be sacrificed to obtain it and once that knowledge is there you should not be surprised it is used in favor as well as against life. Simple as that.

    Isn't this the life of a well taken care of kid in his parent's house, where he owes nothing to anyone, and owns nothing, and there's always a well stocked pantry and a helpful parent ready to offer assistance?

    I was more than ready to leave the safety of that nest, why would I want to recreate it on a societal level even if I could?
