Why do atheists trust science?

[Thinking Aloud]

Sorry. Won't do it again.

Because there is snow in your avatar, I don't believe you.

I had snow in my ear in my avatar. Once.

You had snow in your ear in your avatar on the forum on the internet?

Yes I had snow in my ear in my avatar on this forum on the internet on my computer on my desk in my office in my house.

Note that atheists can't even provide a rational justification for the thing they cherish the most! 17 replies and not one sign of a rational argument.

At least Christians have rational arguments to defend their faith; it seems atheists have given up to defend what they believe and are just resigned to have a worldview based on blind faith.

You seem to be confusing science and atheism. You may as well be talking about farming and atheism

You forget that "science" is not confined to being something that atheists "use" , theists also use science

Just that Newton guy, and a few others.

But you don't have snow in your ear now, do you?

I think that proves the OP correct. So there is a god. Let's hope it's Bacchus. Or some sex-goddess, that would be nice too.

I'm afraid it will be the million-cocked penis demon who is in charge of everything. Luckily he only rapes his believers

Apologies if this was said before, but:
Thedistillers, you are falsely assuming that atheism implies a rejection of induction. Induction works if we assume there is an overall scheme or general formula or set of formulas that runs nature and the universe, and that it is there for our discovery, and most importantly, that it possesses a rhythmic characteristic which enables us to correctly make predictions of future behaviour based on current or past observations. The obvious fallacy that you're making, however, is by assuming that such a structure would necessitate any sort of divine entity, creative impulse, or superior intelligence.

Of course, the problems with induction are numerous, yet wander off into the uncharted realms of confusingly theoretical epistemology, and are entirely irrelevant in terms of the OP.

Being noodle raped is the highest honour a pastafarian could hope to obtain. May he touch me deeply with his noodly appendage

Can I post my avatar again? The one where I'm wearing a wig and looking like a bad advert for fellatio?

I thought that was your current one.

I trust science because it has proven itself to be the best possible way to learn about and understand the world around us.

That is, unless you have a better method...

See, the problem is god-botherers only have one daffynition for "faith". I have faith in my truck getting me to the store and back with cheese. I have faith that the sun will come up tomorrow. I have faith that magnetism works. I believe in all these things because they're grounded in reality and not based on The Bronze Age Goat-herders' Anthology of Campfire Tales for Boys.
