I can't recall, post a link. Or ask the question again, since somehow this history is etched in your mind... It must have made a deep impression...hope you can recover from the trauma eventually!
I agree, and had that same semantic problem with the OP. Religions are facts; it is the bases for religions (or perhaps I should say theisms for precision) that are conjectural and should be subjected to scrutiny. But it is a minor semantic problem IMO. The main point of the OP remains and can be clarified up by merely restating the title as "God(s) is a hypothesis." Certainly everybody in this thread has been treating the topic as such.
"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." -- Carl Sagan
Ok, just checking. Of course if it had been properly stated as "Belief in God is a feeling" it would not have grown this long.
Self organizing "no-thingness" is a manifestation of the creator. The universe is intelligent by design and that really pisses off the atheists for some reason.
Yes ,of course some blobs of creation collectively deny their own origins. The great irony is: folks of your persuasion ridicule us.
