I believe he's saying he's agnostic, not religious.

Please keep this discussion out of this thread, thank you.

YES ... with what science has discovered about the universe you can and should be 100% certain that god does not exist... everything else is ignorant. You really don't even need scientific discoveries to reason that.

So I think everyone in this thread has come to the same conclusion? I think an actual genius put it best: "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Frankly I think this dude lacks both.

Indeed, he can remember but he cannot reason. If you asked him to evaluate two contrasting works he has memorised and provide his own conclusions - that is where he would fail. There was a program which showed his inability to grasp ****phors.

wow, that's a lot of faith you have. you sound like the same zealots on late-night Christian channels. different words, same mindset. i.e. i know everything so everyone else is stupid. considering that science bases all its methodologies are based on non-provable premises, science itself is unprovable. so you say that faith in an unprovable method that only find more things it can't explain is more rational that believing we aren't the center of the universe? wow. now you can move on to hope and charity.
