QuoteThe difference is that I am open to suggestion, the suggestion just needs to make sence.
That is not arrogance, It is assertive. there is a distinct difference.
So you've found a way to feel superior to both. Good

QuoteThat is pretty clear cut for christians etc, but can you explain what your interpretation of the origin of existance is from an athiest point of view.
You said the origin of life.

Sigh & yawn. Your posts read like an official government pamphlet in Orwell's 1984.
You guys must be tired, is that the best you got?
Not at all, but it was all that was needed to be better than your content free soundbite.

Since you missed my point I will rephrase it for you.The questionnaire lacks any relevance concerning the reality of God. If atheists or agnostics use it to bolster their beliefs in a superior understanding of reality, then they delude no one but themselves.

Yeah, exactly - your content free soundbite.
(And that's not a rephrasing - it's a fundamentally different statement)

QuoteYou said the origin of life.
So how is existence not the origin of life?
Or do you suggest the life came before existence?
We are carbon life forms, we are made of existence. Once we die that carbon is recyled into something else.
we are one with existence and life is nothing without it.
Do you beleive that human beings were created before all other flora and fauna by the hands of god?

It's a legitimate question. Do you or don't you know what he was talking about? Most people don't.

QuoteQuoteQuoteI'd love to see the actual questions asked and where they got their sample.
Random sample of ~3400 people. That's a large enough sample to make the results pretty darn reliable and filter out all that socio-economic disparities you listed. You can see the 15 questions in the sample test, not sure about the other 17.
Not necessarily true -
Surveys are taken more by people that have the time to do them.
If you are busy working, there is less time to do surveys.
Bullshit

I think that delusional is believing in religion.

the same probelm lies for christians and athiests as far as I can see for the faihfull, the queston is what was there before god?
And for athiests, what was there before the big bang.
I can fathom the inception of our universe from a single point, but I cannot fathom the existance of nothing at all before that. Even an empty space is something. That is the missing link and the athiest scientists can go back to them moment after the big bang. but what of before?
