It won't change the argument in the least. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 01/12/2010 05:26:16 AM
Atheists will use it as proof of no God, a logical impossibility, and Theists will use it as proof of God, an impossibility of faith. Just like they do with everything else. Meanwhile, those more interested in what they (as opposed to everyone else) wish to believe will add it as just another data point to consider.

Interesting in and of itself, but definitely not a deal breaker, God-wise.

If there is life in the solar system then it is likely a natural development in the universe. Tom - 30/11/2010 05:12:38 AM 694 Views

Seems to put atheists in a bit of a catch-22 there. Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 05:54:25 AM 818 Views
Bwa? Craig - 30/11/2010 06:45:33 AM 751 Views

Using anthropomorphic terms to describe the universe only reflects on you, not on the universe. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 30/11/2010 07:31:04 PM 334 Views
What an arbitrary and meaningless statement. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 07:52:13 PM 271 Views
Anthropomorphizing concepts is a cognitive bias. Dreaded Anomaly - 30/11/2010 11:19:23 PM 653 Views
Only given a certain metaphysical framework. Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 12:18:09 AM 694 Views

In short, demanding that everyone use your particular worldview is unfair. Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 02:21:26 AM 750 Views
Those worldviews are unsupported by empirical evidence. Dreaded Anomaly - 01/12/2010 01:41:27 AM 836 Views
No worldviews are supported by empirical evidence. *NM* ranagrande - 01/12/2010 01:57:23 AM 315 Views
Empiricism is unsupported by empirical evidence. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 02:21:52 AM 279 Views
Empirical evidence is the only objective standard. Dreaded Anomaly - 01/12/2010 02:59:18 AM 697 Views

So you're prejudiced against the nuclearly challenged? ranagrande - 01/12/2010 01:09:57 AM 658 Views
It's this kind of blind adherence to political correctness that is tearing us apart! Darth_Katie - 01/12/2010 01:28:39 AM 642 Views
