Reply #40: Bullshit. [View All]

There isn't a scientist worth his or her salt on this planet that would take a glaring lack of evidence as evidence of something else. Science just doesn't work that way, and it never has. Further, scientists tend to be smart enough to realize that not EVERYTHING has to be scientifically ruled out. No one has scientifically ruled out the possibility I may suddenly turn into a butterfly under the right conditions, but I think we can both agree on the remoteness of that possibility.

Two other thoughts for you:

The argument from design is old, tired, and repeatedly debunked. Read something on that argument aside from apologist writings, and you will see that clearly.

Albert Einstein has been notoriously difficult to categorize on the theism spectrum. Many of his out of context quotes have been used by both sides of the divide, and some quotes have simply been made up wholesale. Including a quote from him doesn't help anyone's case, especially in light of the fact that his quotes are so often used in fallacious arguments from authority.
