: It seems that I'll have to take a trip over to alt.atheism again and see what is being churned up now.
: As for Mr.Wellington, while he is raising more ad hoc assumptions, he did bring up one point.
: It is a part of human nature to believe in a higher being that controls aspects of life. 96% of the modern (human) world believes in a deity(s) and there were plenty in the past as well.
: But, just because one species out of an estimated 30 million happens to believe in a god or gods, doesn't make it true. All it means is that humans tend to use the metaphysical to answer questions about life that they seem not to be able to answer on their own.
: Wellington seems to think that majority rules in these matters and that since atheists are minorities that God must be real (fun with fallacies).
: Ah what fools these humans be.
Technically, we don't knwo if animals belive or not. We do knwo they don't make idols or wirte books about God. BIg diff.
