Atheists often set up that dichotomy in response to God arguments: apologetic = argument, science = fact. But argumemt plays a major role in science as well. I am not saying that scientific facts are merry arguments, but argument plays a much ore important role in the makimng of fact and in applying facts to generate new theory than is often realized. Apologetocs extrapolates from fact to produce argument,both processes entail a dialectic of fact and argument.
as usual please read article comment on blog and discuss it here,

Can you actually support this claim.Metacrock wrote:Atheists often set up that dichotomy in response to God arguments: apologetic = argument, science = fact....
I would never say that; I am sure no knowledgeable atheist would either. If you are citing random guys off the internet, then we might as well berate all Christianity for creationism, which I am sure is a far more popular position.

Unlike Im Skeptical, who is in an argument right now with BK (on BK's most recent CADRE post about God revealing himself). He is repeating the tired canard about how faith is believing without evidence.Metacrock wrote:you are above average, you are not a typical guy on message board.The Pixie wrote:Can you actually support this claim.Metacrock wrote:Atheists often set up that dichotomy in response to God arguments: apologetic = argument, science = fact....
