I was differentiating around the use of the "has". Some things are a mystery because there are things we don't know, but that doesn't mean we should stop looking for answers. Oftentimes that's what religion does, asserts things that can't be proven in place of a simple 'i don't know' and remaining satisfied with the "mystery" when *better* explanations are put forward.


> Who is this that never punts to mystery OR knows everything? Who has this worldview?

Theists, at least the majority that I've met

> Only a worldview that has a foundation of knowledge and certainty will value the Scientific Method.

I would argue that the scientific method builds the foundation of knowledge and that should build the worldview.

> Which explains why do many early scientist were Christian and other theists. It was birthed in that world view.

No they would be killed as heretics or at least put in prison or house arrest, like Galileo nearly was.

> So by evidence, do you mean eye witnesses, archeology, and other external documentation.

Sure that would count. But when you say "external documentation" it sounds like you already have something in mind...what would that be?

> Not in terms of religion. How do you know things?

The same way anyone does I guess. But I see from the bio that you're a Christian, and since this is Easter, how do you _know_ Jesus rose from the dead on the third day?

> So you are an atheist?

Yes

> So you believe that everything comes from nothing.

I don't know for sure but it's more likely than a god

> Do you believe that all life was immaculately conceived? It's hard to overcome biogenesis. Isn't it?

Abiogenesis is like big bang, it might be a very unlikely thing to happen, but it only has to happen once.
