[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cartman: [QB] "You need some form of belief in something before you can get anywhere with science." Yes, but that belief has to be falsifiable, and thus excludes all religious ones. "Even an atheist has some form of belief. In that case, it's a belief that there is no God." No, in an atheist's case, it's actually a DISbelief in the existence of God, which (to get dangerously Tim-like for a moment) is logically not equivalent to a belief in the NON-existence of God. Put another way, lack of belief in one thing does not constitute belief in another. "Atheism IS a religion." Incorrect simply by the definition of the word atheism (being the absence of theism, ie. the absence of a system of religious beliefs, which is a religion). [/QB][/QUOTE]
