At the beginning of this young community, I thought it might be helpful to make a clear distinction between the definitions as they differ greatly in their explainability. Contrary to some opinions that can be heared, the statements a) there are one/more divine beings and b) no divine beings exist are logically equivalent.

    I do not oppose it, I reject it.

    I do not have ideas about Gods either, religious people do.

    And no I do not need science to believe in gravity, but I don’t believe stones have a desire to seek towards the ground, as the ancient Greeks did.

    I just don’t think there is any reason to believe old superstitions that are self evidently riddled with factual mistakes, and don’t explain anything.

      My belief is not a claim but rather an interpretation of the sciences and their findings. Just like the quantum interpretations. As you said too you don’t THINK that there is any reason for the existence of any deity but can you really be sure? Isn’t that just another valid interpretation?

        We can’t prove some kind of god doesn’t exist, because you can’t prove a negative. But we can be sure that it was not a god that created the earth the way it is described in the Bible.
