You're also not allowed to talk about red turf.

Atheism and religion both require faith. That's why I reject both.

Everything requires faith you moron. Religion requires faith in dogma.

Mathematics doesn't require faith.

The most arrogant and dogmatic atheists usually are not only not scientists, but not overly scientifically literate. I can usually school them on subjects like evolution and abiogenesis. They're the same fools that think skepticism about anthropogenic climate change and the saturated fat-heart disease hypothesis is the same as denying that gravity exists.

Case in point, a girl I once dated who was a proud atheist would get all up on a high horse about so many people being scientifically ignorant because of their opinions on evolution and climate change. This was a person who (1) would make fun of me for not drinking but told me I shouldn't eat cheese because it's "bacteria poop" and (2) once said she thought the government should ban the building of nuclear power plants next to large bodies of water. :dunce:

He's right. Math is a set of axioms and all things that logically follow from those axioms. Math is the only subject where it's correct to say that you "prove" something. We know that there are infinitely many prime numbers because otherwise it would be impossible to factor the product of all of the primes with one added to it. That's using pure logic and not just using empirical evidence to make a guess.

Red turf is my favorite! :licker: Blond is a distant second. Right in front of that fine downy Asian turf. :thumb: :nod:

I don't think that's true. There are many things that can be proven. For instance: I can prove that I am between 6'0" and 6'2" in height. Unequivocally. It can be proven that gasoline can be used for locomotion. So on and so forth.

But that's all just mathematics in the end. Fail.
