interesting article about theism vs atheism
    #5385742 - 03/10/06 01:59 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

these guys debate the two pretty well, and (mostly) without reverting to namecalling

http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/article_details.php?id=7365

i happen to be a theist, and some of the arguments that the theist in this colum mentioned resound well with me. its worth a read no matter what side of the fence youre on.

That debate went nowhere. They were just about settled on the terms of the debate... and then it stopped.

the points they brought up were excellent points.

yes the debate did stop suddently, but there is no settling that argument anyway.

The points on both sides were quite weak, actually.

And I've always thought that Dennett's deterministic views aren't much different from a belief in god anyway. It'd be nice to have a non-deterministic theist vs. theist debate.

from the article:
So the first thing is to investigate "scientifically" whether or not there is a God.

why should one believe a scientific proof of the existence of God anyway?

(or a proof of non-existence for that matter)
