@SamHarrisOrg @RichardDawkins its kind of scary that it's a big deal to come out as atheist in the U.S. Is the U.S. really that backward?

Almost impossible for a US Politician to win as a declared atheist https://twitter.com/simonmatthewco2/status/638587235370160128 …

@samharrisorg Sad that it "takes guts" to simply say, publicly, "I just don't find Religion's claims plausible in the least." Isn't it?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@SamHarrisOrg Sam Harris urgently needs a course in basic epistemology. Atheism is based on the scientific method which is very exact. -
@SamHarrisOrg Science 1 Does NOT deal with proof/disproof maths does. Maths is not a science. 2 The 'burden of proof' is with Nature alone -
@SamHarrisOrg The epistemology of science is strictly based on: verification/non verification & refutation. -
@SamHarrisOrg Applying this epistemology to any idea gives 2 groups: 1 Testable by nature to all three 2 NOT testable by nature to all three -
@SamHarrisOrg Group 1 is termed 'theories' all of which can & mostly do, evolve into better ones via their refutation by nature. -
@SamHarrisOrg Group 2 are termed 'beliefs' which CAN be verified/non verified but can't be REFUTED by nature. -
@SamHarrisOrg An example of a belief system we all use: pure mathematics. An example of a theory: E=Mc^2 where c provides falsifiability. -
@SamHarrisOrg Unlike beliefs, theories require an empirically based constant that is refutable via observing it behaving like a variable. - 2 more replies

@SamHarrisOrg@RichardDawkins I find the illogic of belief that prayer saved your life in a plane crash & killed 100s of others compelling.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@SamHarrisOrg@RichardDawkins How can there be "overwhelming evidence of non-existence?" That's logically FLAWED, not logically correct.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
