Re: The New Atheists; The Cult of Science?

First, atheism more properly indicates the belief that no god exists, otherwise it's more correct to say agnostic than atheist.

Second, militant doesn't necessarily mean belligerant. Aside from a gun in the hand, the term is even used for as little as an activist. Resort to objectionable behaviour is already a medium to strong sense of the term. Cases such as Emmeline Pankhurst are often considered strongly or extremely militant.

One thing tytpical of atheists, they are often arguing against the most highly untenable or counterfactual beliefs and presuming to thus prove against any notion of a god. This is clearly non sequitur and hence not so scientific after all.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
