No surprise, atheists and agnostics are knowledgeable about insignificant facts. But when it comes to the important facts concerning the existence of God and His plan for a fulfilled temporal and eternal life, they are ignorant.



Yawn.

Sigh. Your posts read like an official government pamphlet in Orwell's 1984.

So you're equally as arrogant as both. Good [Wink]



The 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.

I'm pretty sure that just about everyone thinks that life has an origin. There may be some small group that thinks it's been going on forever but if there is I haven't heard of them.



That 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.

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?

So you've found a way to feel superior to both. Good;)

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)

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?

Do you have -any- idea what he meant by that statement?

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

I'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.

I think that delusional is believing in religion.
