Lots of comments quibbling about whether he understands the word atheism.
His central point—despite the interview title, which he didn't write—is: humility. He argues that to practice science is to avoid adopting a position of certainty, but rather, to ask questions.
That almost everyone on this thread missed that point suggests maybe he's on to something.
- Latty 8y agoExcept they didn't, because every Atheist I have ever known would, given evidence, become a theist. They accept humility and that they don't know - they are simply stating their current position given the evidence they have. The author doesn't understand the argument of the people they are criticizing, and so attributes a lack of humility to them based on their strawman of their argument.
