No, you have pretended I said Science hates the unknown and treats it like an enemy, which is of course a strawman.
Not believing in fairy tales is scientific. Applying the scientific method to better understand the world is scientific. Materialism, over idealism, is scientific. Atheism is in line with all of these, it is the lack of a belief in unproven hypothesis until proven, whereas Religion is in conflict with this.
Fairy tales are great stories often time, just like religion, but treating them as reality without basis is anti-science.
I wasn't being elitist when I said my family isn't technically minded, I was pointing out that they have not studied science nor have they practically applied the scientific method. That's like saying trusting climate scientists over climate change deniers is elitist. Learning and education is the foundation of which new knowledge can be found.
If a child invents a god, as you say, why would you assume it to be fact? Children also make imaginary friends, and lose them over time. This does not make these imaginary friends material reality.
More strawman bullshit claiming I think myself above anthropology, you can only cling to strawman because you have no logical footing. I never even claimed I myself was technically minded, why do you assume I believe myself to be the arbiter of the scientific method? Because you seek to slander.
Yes. That is indeed what people have been doing for thousands of years, and is why religion falls out of favor and fervor over time, as we learn more about the world.
You clearly only wish to lie and slander, and have no arguments, at all, outside of such, so you can kindly stop bothering.
LOL! Need some help getting out of that rabbit hole you've dug for yourself?
Ooooh... Trotsky must be so proud.
Good thing you told me... your discourse certainly wouldn't have.
I guess treating false binaries as incontestable truth based on pure assumption is a regular thing with you atheists, huh?
Then why did you bring it up?
I didn't, genius - you were the one who precluded the possibility that the hypothetical child in your hypothesis would shoot your hypothesis in the foot... I merely pointed it out.
Then why are you afraid of proving your hypothesis? If humans are so terrible at inventing gods as your hypothesis requires us to be, it should be historically evident, shouldn't it? In fact... I'd go so far as to say that the existence of religion itself should be impossible - if your hypothesis has any weight to it, that is.
Oh, thank goodness for the "enlightened atheists!" Thousands of years navigating existence means nothing now that the armchair geniuses has shown up to show us the correct way of doing so!
LOL!
Your atheism doesn't just smack of liberalism - it's starting to sound downright white.
