2. "Athiest"? Is that a superlative?

"I'm the athiest of them all!"

[bananas]

5. LOL - athie, athier, athiest

8% of atheists are sure gods exist - they are athie.
21% of atheists believe in god, so 21-8=13% believe in god but aren't sure - they are athier than the ones who are sure god exists.
The remaining 79% are the athiest of the atheists.

3. Keep this crap out of the Science forum

Welcome to the DU Science Forum

Threads about topics that are not science are not welcome here. Please do not post threads about pseudoscience (astrology, homeopathy, crop circles, bigfoot, alien abductions, and the like), which is not science. Don't even post threads bashing pseudoscience, because most people here in the science forum don't need to be convinced, but more importantly because such topics are bait for people to come here and argue the opposing viewpoint -- and then all hell breaks loose. If you want to discuss pseudoscience there are plenty of other places on DU where you can do so. (Visit the Skepticism, Science and Pseudoscience Group for discussions from the skeptics-only perspective. Visit the Astrology, Spirituality & Alternative Healing Group for discussions from the mystics-only perspective.

4. 21% of atheists believe in god and 8% are absolutely certain god exists

I think it's great that the Atheist religion is so open-minded and inclusive.

13. Why do people who dishonestly hawk this survey never refer to the actual question?

I'll help you out:

Question: Do you believe in God or a universal spirit? How certain are you about this belief? Are you absolutely certain, fairly certain, not too certain, or not at all certain?

Just to make sure the dishonesty is clear...











Question: Do you believe in God or a universal spirit? (IF YES, ASK) How certain are you about this belief? Are you absolutely certain, fairly certain, not too certain, or not at all certain?

With all the Tao/Buddhist/New Agey/Animistic atheists out there how unlikely is it that they constitute 8% of what is a small demographic to begin with?

Source: not a know-nothing discussion but the people who actually asked the fucking question - http://religions.pewforum.org/pdf/table-belief-in-god-or-universal-spirit-by-religious-tradition.pdf

14. I know the answer to your question.

But stating it would be against forum rules, so I won't.

6. I suppose that's about as informative as many posts here

:shrug:

9. Oh, dear Goddess.

This reminds me of something that happened in my college roommate's physics class, or at least she swore that it had actually happened. Some bubblehead sorority chick put up her hand and asked the professor, "Why don't they put the sun out at night when we really need it?"

10. One admirable feature of the thread.......

It actually is a little harder to explain the mechanism behind toast toasting than the mechanism behind the sun shining. Question of complexity.

Also probably a matter of opinion, but likely so. :)

11. "How does someone go up and prove that if the sun is too hot to approach"

That's easy, we go at night. :silly:

12. At night and preferably while its raining.

One can never be too safe.
