      Disbelieving is one thing, knowing is another. We are talking things above our level of comprehension.

      No-one claims to know the origins of everything. Imagining a human-like being - creating, reasoning, moral - did it ...1/2

      How about a little humility admitting, "'I know that I know nothing"

      Why then defend atheism which is a religion of those that claim to "know". Agnosticism is the wise man's "religion".

      Because that's not what atheists generally say. I posted the Dawkins scale. Most of us ( including him) are a 6.

      There are all levels "deniers" but since we can't know, it's all about believing in NO GOD, thus atheism is a "religion"

      OK. You define religion as not believing in things in which case everyone has hundreds. You just define things unusually.

      Unlike most people, I am am original thinker not needing other people's scales to realise absurdity of human's knowing it all.

      OK but if your thinking is so original you use words in different ways to common meaning, you'll confuse ppl a lot.

          Original thinking confuses people that are better at platitudes rather then using own brain, lol.

          .@CaptainNemo3000 I'm not at all sure that 'original thinking' is the same as redefining words & claiming other ppl mean what you do.

          Didn't I say you won? There always comes a point when I start to be tired of repeating myself, don't you?

          Right. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to have won but think you really mean 'I don't want to discuss further.' Goodbye. 😊

          Read my initial statement and try to understand my point, the rest is irrelevant.
