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 496 Views

Seems to put atheists in a bit of a catch-22 there. Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 05:54:25 AM 556 Views
Bwa? Craig - 30/11/2010 06:45:33 AM 544 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 239 Views
What an arbitrary and meaningless statement. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/11/2010 07:52:13 PM 186 Views
Anthropomorphizing concepts is a cognitive bias. Dreaded Anomaly - 30/11/2010 11:19:23 PM 448 Views
Only given a certain metaphysical framework. Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 12:18:09 AM 482 Views

In short, demanding that everyone use your particular worldview is unfair. Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 02:21:26 AM 521 Views
Those worldviews are unsupported by empirical evidence. Dreaded Anomaly - 01/12/2010 01:41:27 AM 581 Views
No worldviews are supported by empirical evidence. *NM* ranagrande - 01/12/2010 01:57:23 AM 194 Views
Empiricism is unsupported by empirical evidence. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/12/2010 02:21:52 AM 193 Views

So you're prejudiced against the nuclearly challenged? ranagrande - 01/12/2010 01:09:57 AM 474 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 430 Views
