    There are a couple of possibilities: 1: The religious person perceives evidence of god - evidence that you do not perceive, thereby exposing a deficiency on your part. 2: The religious person perceives evidence which doesn't exist, thereby exposing a deficiency on his/her part. In short, you cannot be sure if you merely lack the ability to perceive a god or if others are delusional. I don't fault you for responding to the evidence that brings you to atheism but you aren't capable of knowing what others are experiencing and what evidence they have available to them. Your arrogant declarations about science vs. religion are hot air.

      Seriously, science has to start coming up with more concrete answers than "since we can't explain it, it must exist elsewhere", otherwise, it's no different than theology.

      I agree, there is a "if we can't currently explain it, parallel worlds are likely the cause" response that is annoying to see. I think your theology comment pissed off a few though.

          PhysOrg:

          the loss rate of very slow free neutrons appeared to depend on the direction and strength of the magnetic field applied. This anomaly could not be explained by known physics. Berezhiani believes it could be interpreted in the light of a hypothetical parallel world consisting of mirror particles.

          I've noticed the same thing for years with my pairs of matching socks, and I don't even have a physics degree.

                  If you were talking about Keanu Reeves the actor, I would think you were discussing neurons escaping to a parallel world...

                                Just because they make fun of him, doesn't mean they believe he's stupid. He's one of the few actors I respect and admire. Doesn't mean I can't make fun of him every now and then.

                                  Been watching a lot of Perry Mason lately and am learning not to say anything that would incriminate myself therefore I can say "maybe"!

                                  You're a wise man :) I like to be like Perry Mason once in awhile and work on a case... usually beer.

                                  It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                    Lucky for you then. It takes a God to change my mind and will. And I already have absolute faith in one and have no need for another.

                                      But they accept the fact that there exists a parallel universe without ever actually seeing one. That to me sounds like faith.

                                        when you have to resort to "but really, what is knowledge" to support a position, that position is on very shaky ground.

                                          I understand, but it seems to be used a lot of late for explaining the unknown.
