Not interested in your word games.
YOU are the one who started the word game!
Now that you are shown to be wrong you don't want to play your own game. Priceless!
Theoretical physics states up front what is based on evidence and what is speculation. This is substantially different -- far more honest -- than believing something as fact for which there is no evidence, which is the way of religion.
Goalpost shift attempt detected.
Goalpost shift mocking subroutine engaged.
HAHAHA! Wow, you actually think shifting the goalpost will go unnoticed! What a goof!
Goalpost shift mockign subroutine completed.
Goalpost shift attempt nullified.
Other than you, no one mentioned facts. Nice try, but you need to get far better if you wish to succeed in shifting the goal posts.
Since we both know there is no way to know if the rules the universe operates by today are the same as they have been AFTER they stabilized AFTER the universe began, why do you continue to try and say that the assumption they have always been the same is not a faith based belief?
There is no shame in holding faith based beliefs, no need to rail against it.
An assumption is something believed to be true without any supporting evidence. It is entirely faith based.
The big difference between science and religion is that there can never be anything to show a religion to not be true (at least with the major ones - I cannot say this is true of all religions as I do not know them all), while eventually we may find a way to show the assumptions in science are not true. When and if that happens, the theories based on those assumptions will be thrown out (albeit not without a LOT of fighting to do it).
A good example is Newton's failed Universal Law of Gravitation. Newton assumed that gravity was transmitted instantaneously and undiminished to every object in the universe. This was a faith based belief, as he has not supporting evidence of it. The alternative assumption made it impossible to craft a theory, so he chose the one which allowed him to make one. He was wrong, though, so his "Law" based upon it is also wrong. You will still find people who proclaim his failed theory is not actually failed - but they are simply trying to defend one of the great pillars of science and allowing emotion to override their minds.
You are a Jew by birth as well as by religion. This is a well known fact.
Jewish atheism is practiced by
atheists who are ethnically, and to some extent culturally,
Jewish. Because Jewishness encompasses ethnic as well as religious components, the term "Jewish atheism" does not necessarily imply any kind of contradiction. Based on Jewish law's emphasis on matrilineal descent, even religiously conservative
Orthodox Jewish authorities would accept an atheist born to a Jewish mother as fully Jewish.
