By your society. What religion? As soon as I give it a name, you will play a word game.

The religion leads you to believe that there is no evidence for God, therfore God is not part of the equation, so everything has a natural explanation.

Pick nits and deny the general truth.

By your society.

HOW am I brainwashed by my 'society'? What does this 'society' encompass? Friends? Relatives? None of them ever say a word to me about god or gods or the absence of them. You make no sense. In fact, the only people that are demanding me to believe something is the likes of you and they are all demanding me to believe there IS a god. NOBODY is telling me or has ever told me to believe there is NO god.

you didn't.

No. The absence of evidence does.
So you are now claiming there is evidence of a god?

Evidence is in the eye of the beholder.

Funny how lack of evidence for simply a natural solution doesn't bother you.

No evidence for abiogenesis. No evidence of energy or matter being created from nothing.

No evidence on this front means nothing to you, just something you can't explain.

Evidence is in the eye of the beholder.

are you saying no evidence can physically exist independently of the mind? If so, I say you are wrong.

No evidence for abiogenesis.

There is evidence for abiogenesis; If no abiogenesis then life including us wouldn't exist + we can deduce from the evidence conditions of early-Earth and, when those condition were simulated in the lab, the basic building blocks of life spontaneously formed and that is too much of a coincidence.
No evidence of energy or matter being created from nothing.

I don't believe energy or matter was created from "nothing" and neither does anyone else who fully understands modern physics&cosmology. Take this to the Ignorant forum.

So you believe in something that has always existed yet other than this you can see nothing that has always been in existence.

In other words there is no explanation, just accepted by faith.

As far as abiogenesis, perhaps that is your evidence for God.

Wrong.
Where did I say/imply this?
I have no opinion on this one way or the other.

So you have areas where you don't need an explanation, but accept a natural explanation exists by faith.

Hey dude, you do know evidence in science is peer-reviewed.

Sure it is perr reviewed by people who accept the same assumptions. Circular reasoning is circular no matter how many people do it.

Sure I do. You don't understand the faulty assumptions being made.

Don't know if you read the example of the equation that models the height of a high jumper over time.

At time zero the height would be the height of a platform, yet if another person who saw the equation might try to figure out how much time the diver is in the air starting at the logical location, ground level.

And this would change the results, say, kinetic energy as the person hits the ground how?

What assumptions do you disagree with?

The high diver would only be in the air from near the apex until the diver hits the water. If you calculate the time in the air based on jumping from the ground, the time would be nearly double the actual time.

No it wouldn't. You simply take into account all the main relevant factors, such as springboard kinematics, air friction etc, until your calculation is about right, no problem. None of us here makes the assumption that those relevant factors don't exist so there is no such assumptions we make for you to disagree with; only delusional fictitious ones you made up and we don't have.

So you have empirical proof with stopwatch that the formulae are wrong? You think a scientist watching a high jumper would just use the height of the board as where she would fall? You don't think they would take into account how much higher she would be after springing on the board? Do you really think physicists are that stupid?
