[QUOTE="Caspian, post: 145177, member: 5962"] Just a little tid bit. But evolution has been observed to occur :P numerous times at that. I don't think any of us should actually believe this was an actual exchange between a student and professor (The version of this story I am most familiar with [from christian and muslim forums] often mistakenly attributes the student to be a young Albert Einstein). It is quite clearly a straw-man argument written by a witty theist. Having said that, if this exchange really did happen—the student did a marvelous job with his rebuttle. Nothing against the rebuttle, but I will take issue with the professors position. I think arguing in favor of atheism be defaulting to arguments about god's morality is the easiest way of getting smacked by a theist. There are many better arguments for atheism then the one displayed by the prof. But ah, this story is meant as a "pat on the back" type of story for fellow theists to rejoice over. It has little to no intellectual or philosophical content worth examining. The whole bit about how cold is the absence of heat, darkness the absence of light and death the absence of light is baseless and just clever rhetoric. Both cold and heat are just molecular motion in a scientific sense. But our phenomenal experience of cold and heat are completely different. And it seems to be hes mixing the two up. By suggesting that darkness is the absence of light. One could similarily suggest that light is the absence of darkness. Perhaps even light bulbs themselves dont emit light so much as they suck up darkness. What I'm trying to get at is, in physics, duality is whole heartedly embraced. You may remember from your grade school physics class that a force can be both a push and a pull. And everything is relative to your frame of reference. I could just as easily argue that I am the center of the universe so long as I specify that I'm using myself as the frame of reference. If your using light as ur frame of reference, sure darkness is the absence of light. If your using darkness as ur frame of reference, then vice versa. So if a theist wants to embrace duality, then they must not only acknowledge the possibility that "Badness" is the absense of a "Good god" (which is what his argument seems to imply) but also that "Goodness" may just be the absence of a "Bad god." Moreover, why even argue about absence when it is implied that God cannot be absent like light, heat and life. The concept of god is non-comparable to light, heat and life. Furthermore, I deny that for something to be alive it has to be "alive" (in a biological sense). To me, a robot that is functionally in every way indistinguishable from a human being. He should be considered "alive" too :P (in a figurative sense). In a more scientific sense tho, there is still debate as to whether virus's should be considered "living" entities—at the very least, dead entities can have all the properties of living entities, nothing is really stopping them.
