This guy says it all. Of course I am closed minded about the existence of a deity, an afterlife or anything supernatural. I do agree with him about not wanting to be party of any atheistic movement or to congregate with other Atheists. I will belittle religious people if I'm pushed but I try not to.
Neil sells science better than anyone. He makes everyone want to study science.
Does a good job
I like his view on this even though my claim is that I am atheist. The big problem with this IMO is that others with similar views start in talking nonsense to you that is worse than any god belief and way harder to believe. It's easy for me to claim that ancient sheep and goat herders who did not know where the sun went at night decided to tell us where everything came from and how we all got here. A ridiculous fallacy. This gets very strained when others who claim to believe as I do bring in beings from other galaxies to make up their story book. Got any evidence? A lot of people seem to think that evidence for things starts out as something you cannot explain. There are lots of things we cannot explain.
If you can't explain it, you don't have evidence.
Have identified as "atheist" for some years now by being certain that mythical beliefs, super-natural, does not exist. I listen to this, and may well be leaning toward adopting "agnostic" as a more sensible definition of how I think. A superb argument just made...
