    My version of atheism is science. Science is certainly a belief system, where we shape our beliefs with overwhelming evidence. If Kend Hovind thinks science is a religion, I want to know how much...

    Somewhat amusing if you read it as a critique of the output of AI. I don't think it gives you any useful pointers. But, unlike the fake legal references it comes up with in bad legal briefs,...

    I know this is not a direct answer to you, but if I may share: if our goal is to change minds (which for me at least it is), engaging in arguments like that is often counterproductive. Ultimately,...

    If atheism is a religious faith, then the off button on the remote is a TV channel. Reminds me of Kent Hovind arguing that evolution is "also a religion" lol.
