“Atheism” and “agnosticism” deal with two different doxastic attitudes. They're not–and have never been–synonymous. Atheists disbelieve the proposition “gods exist”. Agnostics merely suspend judgement about the proposition.

“Lack-theism” suggests there aren’t good arguments for atheism; proponents seem hesitant to take a stand & try to discharge the burden of proof. A better idea: say you don’t believe in God because of the problem of evil or hiddenness. This is a much more respectable position.

An agnostic theist is a person who believes in God but is honest enough to admit they don't know really know for sure.

If this were the case, natural theology should be able to reproduce all of sciences advances without needing to turn to science. Natural theology cannot do that.

Here's a hill I'm willing to die on: Science and Natural Theology use identical epistemological methods.

The comments on Jackson's tweet here make explicitly clear that atheism is not synonymous with intellectuality, skepticism, or critical thought.

My fellow atheists, I am once again asking you to make good arguments against theism that don’t involve “but where did God come from?”

My debate on @Agree2disagre11 with @CatzConspiracy was... interesting, if anything. Found out that I was debating a flat-Earther who didn't believe in space but argued that space is expanding. Overall 10/10 would go back on.

1.) Atheism fits better with my priors and background beliefs. 2.) Atheism fits better with the world we observe. 3. God concepts are ill-defined and largely culturally based.

@SocStonks @TIA_Lucas20520 That's literally what it means to believe something. To believe something is to accept it as true. I don't know why people act like belief is a dirty word; it's almost as if people don't know anything about epistemology.

Remember, New Atheists™ have to share a single brain cell between them, so it all depends on who's day it is to have it. Yes, I know I'm being mean. Yes, it's facetious. No, I don't care if it hurts feelings.

This is why atheists seriously need to read on epistemology. I *am* certain that Elvis Presley is not the current President of the United States. Certitude is a measure of an agent's confidence in some proposition; it isn't a measure of the truth of said proposition.

About the Tour vs. Farina debate: James Tour did what James Tour does. Incessant caterwauling about how WE'RE CLUELESS AND YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT without providing argumentation. He also consistently interrupted Dave. Dave, however, saw fit to verbally attack the audience.

Forgive any ignorance in this question, but it's been bugging me for a few days and I can't find any answers by Googling. So, @WKCosmo , @StartsWithABang , @seanmcarroll , @skdh , @NickLucid - Is the Higgs mechanism a fundamental interaction, or can it be considered one?
