exactly what atheists and theists don't want to understand
How then do you know this god has the ability to exist or not?

That's why I am agnostic in the first place, I don't know if it's a god that caused it or not.

Deist say that it's a god, atheist say it's not.

Me: we can never know, we don't know.

Some minutes ago you said

A specific kind of God that caused the singularity to form before big bang. That one

Then precisely 5 minutes later, you deposited this

That's why I am agnostic in the first place, I don't know if it's a god that caused it or not

How do you reconcile the two statements? grin

I am telling you deistic claims. Like what they claim, not mine.

You don't understand?

I am saying that that specific kind of diestic claim can never be disproven by anybody, not even the smartest atheist on earth.

It's why agnostics hold their position

Do you understand me now?

Remove the “deistic” and put “yahweh” what’s the difference?
The pope, a yahweh worshipper believes in big bang.

We don’t need to say anything is right and wrong, we will reject it because no one can know. Their explanation of the universe is wrong from their first statement because no one can know.

I dont understand what this means. Break it down/.

Which of them is a deistic claim? First or second

If you look up the origin of the word “agnostic” it means “ignorant of, not known”. It has nothing to do with “gods” unless you are an agnostic theist.
If you say we don’t know and it’s unknowable how the universe came to be, with that stand shouldn’t we reject all claims that tries to explain how the universe came to be either by theism or science or by rationality, because we are ALL agnostic (ignorant of)

Let me break it down.

Deists basically claim that, the a god must have formed the singularity that expanded into the universe. It's not my claim, I don't have evidence for or against it.

My position is that, I don't believe or disbelieve deists.

Yahweh worshippers claim that too.
A deist is a monotheist without religion.

yes, I don't know if there's god or not.
I think those who reject or accept the claim are wrong because we do not have sufficient knowledge to either accept or reject God.

Since it’s a claim without evidence, the claim can be dismissed without evidence lol.

Then you shouldn't put the word god, cos you have already qualified that being. That is what I said initially. The agnostics here have qualified and crystallized the being into a 'god'. The truth is, it may be rjhft or kahtev, but instead you chose the word 'god'
I see sometimes why y'all have run-ins with Maynmann

I didn't make the word god, I don't know if it's god.

I am using the deistic term for it for you to understand what I am talking about.

It's not my word, it's the word of deists, atheists and theists. How else can I communicate with you if I don't use it.


How else do I communicate with you about aliens that we aren't sure of their existence if I don't use the word "alien".

How am I suppose to discuss dragons with you if I won't use the word dragons, even when there no evidence that they existed

Okay, I understand your view point. Clearer now. Agnostism seems a 'softer' view than atheism

Ok, it means that you are unscientific about your approach.

Because science doesn't reject until an evidence against is available.

No, not really. Agnostism doesn't take a position until evidence for or against is available.

They took a position since they agreed that a “god” has the ABILITY to exist or not.
Does wolverine in xmen have the ABILITY to exist or not?
does yahweh in jewish books have the ABILITY to exist or not?
