Ah what the hell
atheism = a + theism = non-theism. As in, a lack of belief in theism. That's literally what it means. That's all it means. Science doesn't "move the goalposts." You seem to be unaware of what that term means. Moving the goalposts means that once you provide evidence for a claim, you redefine the claim such that you require more/different evidence. It's called "moving the goalposts" because it's basically like scoring a goal and then moving the goalposts in order to say that your score was actually no good to begin with. Science doesn't do this. |

Science doesn't move the goalposts in the sense that if you provide contradictory evidence for/against something, the science itself changes. In other words, science embraces change through evidence. Moving the goalposts is the exact opposite of this -- imposing more and more conditions even once the hypothesis has already been addressed. You hold your claim constant and warp the evidence around it or demand more.
In this case, the guy (forgot his name) is moving the goalposts by saying "Ok well NEXT time will REALLY be Doomsday!" This is literally all he can do each time he is shown to be false. You can't prove the Doomsday guys wrong until the day actually rolls by, but even when it does and nothing happens, people will make up additional reasons to hold their general hypothesis as true despite the contradictory evidence.

Hey, hey... I'm all for arguments about this sort of thing, but take it to CT. This isn't the place for it.

Ew religion.
My mom keeps telling me that Jesus loves me when I've clearly told her I don't believe in that crap. How annoying. I don't need people on FFR telling me the same shit.

The point though is that you can either change to incorporate new evidence or you can change to avoid it. Of course, people like Harold Camping will do anything to perpetuate completely insane bullshit for a quick buck. It's a real shame that money gets malinvested into stupid crap like this when it could be put into something that actually provides utility to people instead of just fearmongering and lunacy. |

I think 2 + 2 = 43. Lets argue that point. I don't care how much evidence you provide, but I will always believe it to be true because 'my' beliefs are set in stone and therefore must be correct.

Except you can't provide evidence that atheism is accurate and correct.

Uh, duhh, Reincarnate! How else does Lucky Charms, the greatest cereal in existence, have a mascot? I mean, whoever proposed the idea to General Mills had to have said,
"Hey, I got this idea for the BEST cereal! It's going to be like Cheerios, but with marshmallows of various shapes. Lucky Charms! Eh? Eh?" "I like it! How will we market this?" "Pfft! With leprechauns of course!" "How do we know it will appeal to everybody?" "Catchphase?" "Shoot." "Wonderfully delicious?" "Too ordinary. We need something that everyone can believe in . . ." together - "MAGICALLY DELICIOUS!" "On the button, Kip! Magic is real!" Kip would of been fired for pitching that if otherwise ![]() EDIT: Damn you, DarknessXoXLight!!! Looks like we have the same track of mind lol
