SnailyBoy   10 #445 Posted January 26, 2015 Some people Believe, some people Do Not Believe and some are Undecided. Some people have faith and do not need proof. Some people believe the universe provides proof. Some people believe in creation, some people do not, some people are undecided. Some people Believe in evolution, some people Do Not Believe, some people are Undecided. What I Believe, Do Not Believe, or am Undecided about is a private matter. These debates are better undertaken in an objective rather than subjective manner.  Why is evolution in that list? The evidence for the Theory of Evolution is overwhelming.

SnailyBoy   10 #447 Posted January 26, 2015 Some people believe in it, some do not, some are undecided.  That's a willful disbelief, despite evidence to the contrary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

RootsBooster   24 #450 Posted January 26, 2015 Questioning your logic !  If someone is without belief it could be down to several things. -It could be that they believe there is no God/are no gods (which is what you seem to think absence of belief exclusively is)  -It could be that they've simply remained without belief since birth and are yet to be convinced about any of the gods, but are open minded on the matter  -it could be that they've given it thought but still haven't decided whether to believe.  -etc.  A belief is a conviction, not an indecisive position. Unless you have a belief, you are without belief, by default. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
teeny   10 #451 Posted January 26, 2015 Why would you think that? ---------- Post added 26-01-2015 at 18:03 ----------   You don't have to reach a conclusion to have an absence of belief.  An atheist wouldn't, family would come first. whys is that?

RootsBooster   24 #454 Posted January 26, 2015 If you gave the answer that you are not convinced one way or the other you are undecided. How much more simple could it be ?  What do you mean convinced one way or the 'other' ? What is the other?  ---------- Post added 26-01-2015 at 22:05 ----------   Are you aware of the phrase " I don't know what to believe " Undecided.  Yeah that old chestnut, the one that people use when they are yet to believe something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
