In reference to the matter here at discussion, my motive self-evidently and unambiguously is to expose Creationism/ID-iocy for the fraudulent, illegitimate, duplicitous scam it is.
I submit, fisherman, you err grievously in your appraisal; neither fear nor faith are operative in my philosophy, quite to the contrary, in fact, by form and function. I submit further that your commentary indicates failure to differentiate between faith and understanding, belief and knowledge.
I will try to make it more clear for you - whether or not there may be or even if there be a god or gods, creator(s) or designer(s), style the concept however you will, is moot, irrelevant, immaterial, entirely beside the point; the point is that no compelling, let alone valid, argument
for any proposition thereon dependent - Creationism/ID-iocy signal among the lot but by no means alone - has been put forward in this discussion and its like on these boards.
That is not to say that for said propositions no plausible, perhaps even, to some extent or other, compelling argument
can or
may be made any more than it is to say there be or not be any god or gods, creator(s) or designer(s), it simply is to say no valid argument for any such, and by necessary extension for any propostion proceeding therefrom,
has been presented on these boards.
Finally, I submit that you cannot demonstrate, objectively, logically, empirically, in academically sound, forensically valid manner, that faith, most specifically faith in the religious sense, be differentiable from superstition.
