@FBM,

For you perfectly know that there is no such correlation. Nobody has ever proved that the red shift is Doppler effect with light and could be nothing else ... and that the light (which has different material carrier than sound) can be subject to Doppler effect at all.

It doesn't matter what the different disctionaries are saying (in the various types of contexts). What matters is what is your personal definition of atheism that you have accepted for your super-personal beliefs.

You're making the claim, the burden of proof is on you.
That claim is of Carl Sagan and he bequeathed it to us, the future generations to prove it.
FBM wrote: I haven't said anything about it being impossible.
You said and even how - you claim that it is 'God-of the-Gaps', which implicitly supposes that you believe that this hypothesis is not plausible, but has been invented willy-nilly by the theists on the grounds of the inability of Science to explain 'some of the things' (that you and your mason-bros call 'God-of the-Gaps'). Your Science is not the case of being unable to explain 'some of the things' - it is unable to find a justification and to verify & validate by any plausible physical interpretations the
whole 'model'.
FBM wrote:I quoted your very own post. Pay attention.
No, you havn't. You quoted only part of it, then twisted it with your personal misinterpretations and assigned to it status of 'God-of-the Gaps'. This is not called 'quote' - this is called 'misuse with quotes'.
FBM wrote:Blah blah red herring blah blah. I'm quite happy not knowing and very comfortable with the possibility that some things may be unknowable.
Evidently. You are happy with the
status quo only ... and with the ability to misuse with it at the expense of the truth to infinity, by taking advantage of the shortcomings of the system, which BTW is not interested in the truth as well. All that it is interested in is its self-preservation and the preservation of its competitive adgantage to manipulate the public knowledge to infinity and as it funds appropriate for the purposes of money and power. You are a servant of the
status quo, and with every day and in any way you are becoming better and better at that.

It has been explained to you that this is your personal designed straw-man. The idea of the 'God-of-the-Gaps' is yours (or of your mason-bros) - not mine. You are the one to present the prove of it. Who makes the claims he presents the proves.
