Yeah ok if you want to call what we see, feel, hear, and touch a belief system then so be it.
I have to take the stance that math and our basis for science is true. If you want to call that a belief system then so be it.
I call it painfully obvious. My tv works because of science.
And yet you posted earlier about where "god" can hide? And how sure you are that this will be disproven, by some "new testament" in science?
You're delusional if you can't see you follow every single religion out there in your beliefs and motives. It is your belief system.
There's a very large difference between a metaphysical belief system and one about the natural world.
Codewiz's post about god "hiding" is described with appropriate lucidity in Dawkins' book, and he addresses the whole point of a belief system.
People in this thread are going to continue to argue out of ignorance, because those that are arguing simply haven't read the book. Agreeing with Dawkins isn't the issue; arguing against matters that were completely addressed by him is.
You are clearly a smarter man than I.
I will drop this because I am partially the reason this has gone so far off course. I was hoping this thread could be used by people to discuss the book and ideas. Too bad that will never happen instead we have to argue with peope who haven't even read the book.
It's been a while but there was another thread about Dawkins sometime last year. It grew quite long, if I remember correctly. Maybe a search and bump of that thread would be more successful to the discussion.
