"I think atheism is inconsistent with the scientific method. What I mean by that is, what is atheism? It's a statement, a categorical statement that expresses belief in nonbelief. 'I don't believe even though I have no evidence for or against, simply I don't believe.' Period. It's a declaration. But in science we don't really do declarations. We say, 'Okay, you can have a hypothesis, you have to have some evidence against or for that.' And so an agnostic would say, look, I have no evidence for God or any kind of god (What god, first of all? The Maori gods, or the Jewish or Christian or Muslim God? Which god is that?) But on the other hand, an agnostic would acknowledge no right to make a final statement about something he or she doesn't know about."

I think conversation is inconsistent with dead horses.

The historian's job is to aggrandize, promoting accident to inevitability and innocuous circumstance to portent.
Peter Conrad


Sometimes persistence turns on itself and chews it's own leg off.
Perhaps that is the pink mist?

Also did you know that birds are the only animals with feathers? Someone told me that while I was pumping gas the other day .

Should have said: "Obscure Dartmouth physicist's bizarre definition of atheism inconsistent with scientific method."

What kind of atheist actually said, "I don't believe. I've got no evidence either for or against, I simply don't believe. Period." Yes, I agree, that's inconsistent with the scientific method; it's also consistent with what we call "thinking." Yet, it does sound like a testimony...

I like Brian Greene's answer.
I probably agree with him more than anybody living.
He's a genius.
So is Michio Kaku.
Sam Harris,
And NdGT.
I agree with all of them,
And a bunch of dead wise men, Einstein, Hawking, Sagan and Epicurous.
I am more of an Epicurean than anything.
I think all of them were far ahead of their time, but especially Epicurious, who figured out non-deterministic atomic physics 400 yrs. Before Christ,

I like to be in agreement with them and letting Mormon lurkers here know that you don't have to be an atheist or a theist.
There is a much wider spectrum
