Science Is A Set Of Methods Designed

I Am An Atheist. There, I Said It. Are You Happy, All You Atheists Out There Who Have Remonstrated With Me For Adopting The Agnostic Moniker? If "atheist" Means Someone Who Does Not Believe In God, Then An Atheist Is What I Am. But I Detest All Such Labels. Call Me What You Like - Humanist, Secular Humanist, Agnostic, Nonbeliever, Nontheist, Freethinker, Heretic, Or Even Bright. I Prefer Skeptic.

Flawed As They May Be, Science And The Secular Enlightenment Values Expressed In Western Democracies Are Our Best Hope For Survival.

Science Is A Set Of Methods Designed To Describe And Interpret Observed Or Inferred Phenomenon, Past Or Present, And Aimed At Building A Testable Body Of Knowledge Open To Rejection Or Confirmation.

Rationality Tied To Moral Decency Is The Most Powerful Joint Instrument For Good That Our Planet Has Ever Known.

In The Past 10,000 Years, Humans Have Devised Roughly 100,000 Religions Based On Roughly 2,500 Gods. So The Only Difference Between Myself And The Believers Is That I Am Skeptical Of 2,500 Gods Whereas They Are Skeptical Of 2,499 Gods. We're Only One God Away From Total Agreement.
