"Obviously Young Earth Creationists are blind, but the same can often be said about biologists in the vein of Dawkins, they aren’t ’scientific’ in the sense that they also true to prove right a certain thing, they’re not trying to investigate what’s true, they have their minds made up and then try to prove it right. However what they try to prove right has an ‘aurora of scientificness’ around it, making Dawkins appear attractively British-the end."

1) Bad spelling doesn't mean the post's content is bad, perhaps it was just rushed like most of the content on the internets.
2) The quote's content is bad in this case independently of the bad spelling.

No it doesn't, there are many other indicators of that. Bad spelling implies sloppy presentation and lack of pride. The writer confuses theism with deism

"Creationism solves a great deal of puzzles, but those can also be solved of course by the multiverse hypothesis, and neither can we prove false or true at the moment. How could we, we can’t look before the big bang of course, we can’t say if the big bang was ’started’ by some intelligent force who devised all almost perfect laws of physics for complex structures to occur"

obviously a novice of this issues.

Most atheists I know of don't use that definition when they call themselves atheist.

I never quite got the hate that people get when someone says they are an agnostic. I assume that you are an agnostic atheist, however I doubt when you say that you are when people ask what your stance is regarding religion. You likely just say "atheist" which just as limiting as saying agnostic. When people state that they are agnostic, people tend to assume that they are AA. However when people only say that they are an atheist others tend to assume that they are GA. This is largely due to how the media reports religion. However, I think it is safe to assume when someone says they are agnostic that they are AA, just as it is safe to assume that someone who is an atheist is a AA (despite the idea that is pushed y the media that atheist=GA).

Why do you find it so hard to believe?

>> No.941058

>>941046
I agree that it is annoying, however after explaining what AA so many times to people who don't know what it is ("Oh! I think you mean that you are just agnostic.") I think people just say "Fuck it" and use the simple theist/atheist/agnostic split most people are used to.
