Oh dear again...
"Hey Skeletony, my first words "Everything you are speaking of is from either your own mind, or most likely another, SkeleTony." was typed with the assumption that you would understand that i have no idea who or what you are. i had to guess whether or not you had notions from your own mind or from somewhere else"
You also added "probably" to your bit. AS if a)It was somehow wrong to post anything that was not out of complete ignorance of all other ideas that anyone else ever had and B)You implied that I was just lifting other people's work...copy/pasting someone else' thoughts here.
Secondly, the "intergalactic vampire-mother' is an appropriate analogy(as evidenced by your inability to answer it). You were saying that lack of belief was instead a full fledged belief itself and on par with religious beliefs. MY point is that if you do not happen to believe your own mother is an intergalactic vampire, that does not make you as 'guilty' as the Raeliens(a cult of people who believe that aliens seeded all life ion our planet, founded by a gent calling himself "Rael") of believing something kooky!
Finally, this nonsense that "evolution is just a theory" reveals a great ignorance on your part of what "theory" means. In science "theory" is an explanation of a FACT or observed phenomenon. It is NOT any of the following:
'An unproven idea'
A best guess
A wild hunch
etc.
Theories in science are NOT rungs on a ladder falling somewhere between "Wild guess"(at the bottom) and "absolute law"(at the top). If I had a nickel everytime I had to correct this silly notion I would be a millionaire!
