    Believers insist that god speaks to them, answers their prayers and performs daily miracles. They tell us that god cares about what who people have sex with and how they do it. They imagine that their holy book is a more reliable source of information about geology and biology than centuries of scientific research.

    You have as poor as an understanding of believers as I allegedly have of "rationalism."

    Yeah that is pretty funny. I think he's being serious (or she). Love how the atheists/non-believers or whatnot like to sound so important-ish. "we have science, history, logic...etc..." all designed by regular people just like me. People who need to eat sleep and poop just like me. And they know deep inside that one way isn't better than another, but they have to try, and in the process resort to name-calling when someone doesn't agree. Just consider me an atheism apostate (because at one time I was atheist).

    Christian belief only? That might be the reason you see things the way you do. It's ok though.

    Yes, Ganesh helped me. Or was it Hanuman? I'm getting older my memory isn't so reliable anymore

    What built the universe? The answer to that is based on opinion at this time. Isn't that the point of the discussion here, somewhat?

    there's a pretty big gap between opinion and scientific theory. one is based on irrelevant bs, the other is based on math and physical evidence. there are theories and models in quantum mechanics that don't require "god" at all. yea i know, something from nothing blah blah blah. unfortunately thats a poor excuse for a rebuttal and completely sidesteps the evidence presented.

    Small yes, but no less real, truthful and relevant to the topic on hand.

    actually it's very much irrelevant because of that for so many reasons. that's why i was hinting at statistics.

    including yours.

    believe you me, i know. that's why i stick to using math and physical evidence to prove my point and not my "observations" with a sample size of nil.

    Soledad, I very much like the richness and depth of the Hindu system of belief. Over the years I've learned a fair bit about it and have very good friends in India, whose beliefs I hold in high regard.
