What is hard to *discuss* a subject with someone that is ignorant. I will bet that more than 95% of self-proclaimed athiests have never bothered to read any religion's sacred texts or hav done any kind of exploration or research into the relationship of minkind and faith doctrines.
Which is just as bad as those that profess to a particular faith without any attempt at a scholarly effort.

I have not yet stated what my beliefs are other than to say that I can glimpse what can be refered to as Devine because of science.
But to respond to your comments, I think we are a vilolent, narcisstic and arrogant species. Anyone claiming that there is no God simply because of a handful "Gee-whizz-look-what-we-can-do" techno tricks is nothting short of the utmost pathetic example of primate arrogance in existance. It is perhaps worst than someone putting on a funny outfit and claiming to speak for something called "God."

I don't have to prove what cannot be proven to assert my confidence in reason, logic and scientific process.

Also, if there is a god he/she/it knows just how much proof I require to believe a thing to be true. As of yet the cunt is withholding the required amount of proof.!!!

I know understand your "YOUTUBE" based perspective and I reiterate my prevous commentary about not being able to discuss any subject with ignorance. Unfortunately I have found that it appears that the vast majority of Internet based conversations tend to revolve around youtube, wikipedia and someone's blog about kittens.
All I will say is that there are many things that we do NOT know in this universe... And most likely a great number more that we do NOT know because we have no idea of what it is we are supposed to not know.
