Poll: Whaddya reckon about God's existence?

[Svartalf]

and bacon and wine and beer and booze in general and, and, and...

[Animavore]

Cheese is Christ.

[Hermit]

Cheese definitely exists. Let's rally around cheese

It's bacon, you heretic!

Crusade at high noon!

Under the new relaxed dietary rules, it's acceptable to have both Bacon AND Cheese.

...but only if you are a naked virgin painted blue, on a full moon.

[Svartalf]

I have both and am no longer a virgin, who'll crusade on me?

[Seth]

Meh. You just talkwank as usual. YOUR worldview is clearly pre-eminent here so everyone else is wrong.

Quit being wrong then.

That's why nobody likes you.

I like me. Lots of other people like me. Whether you like me or not is irrelevant. You're just attempting to evade the inevitable truths I have revealed because your ego won't allow you to accept defeat gracefully.

I'll gladly concede any point you like - just provide me with evidence.

I did. I demonstrated the error of your reasoning in fallaciously assuming that an absence of evidence equals evidence of absence.

I like Seth because he has a different worldview to the majority here. As for God it matters not one jot to me whether he exists or not as I am an apatheist
I accept reality without feeling the need to reinterpret it to conform to my preconceptions of what it should be. Everyone is going to die and remain in that
state for the rest of eternity so it matters not anyway what we do or do not think in the long run. Though I find it helps to know that while you are still alive

No. My position is that an absence of evidence is ample justification for not giving a shit about something. Until there is evidence of a god or gods, I will continue to treat them as if they don't exist, whatever their actual status vis a vis existence.

...except when it comes to Abiogenesis, where absence of evidence equals proof.

Apparently.

Except there is no absence of evidence for abiogenesis.
Nice try.

You'll feel that way about Ebola right up until you start bleeding from your eyeballs.

Just because YOU cannot (or have not) perceived and correctly interpreted the evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Well, yes, actually there is a complete lack of evidence for abiogenesis. Any credible biologist will admit that they don't know how life began. They have lots of theories and ideas, but nobody's ever managed to prove that a primordial soup can spontaneously become living matter, so there is exactly zero evidence that abiogenesis is how organic life began.

[PsychoSerenity]

Wibble!

Just because scientists don't have the complete picture yet doesn't mean there aren't indicators that abiogenesis can happen, not least the evidence that shows that many of the building blocks of life can and do arise spontaneously under certain conditions. The evidence is not zero.
