When I pick up a bible I see letters and number which are codes.
Woah, when did the Bible come into the discussion?
Rational people may be sane. But they can't explain anything....

Can you be an atheist and believe in logic and maths?
by passwordprotected inatheists are, by definition, naturalistic materialists; i.e.
they believe that only the physical universe exists, only the nature exists therefore there is no supernatural and certainly no god.. can you, therefore, be an atheist but believe in logic and maths?
they're also not made of matter.. is it true to say, then, that the atheist worldview is contradictory?

BTW, did you stop being beating your wife yet?
When was it proven that I'd even beaten her? Again with the loaded questions? Seriously, guys, hanging around this forum is making you flaccid and lazy in your arguments.

So you're actually saying that the laws of science are made of matter? Or you're suggesting that it's my responsibility to prove that they are? That's bizarre. Good luck with it!

A monistic materialist could easily sweep aside your argument by disputing the premise that logic is in itself a thing
I'm not saying logic is a thing. I'm saying it's not a thing. Therefore, how does it fit in with a naturalistic materialist worldview?

One guy says something and you jump through hoops and say all atheists beleive something and propose an "or" question based on it.
Either answer the questions or don't, it's up to you. You're jumping through hoops to avoid the issue;
- either all that exists is matter or not
- either the laws of logic and maths are unchanging or not
Pick a side.

Passwordprotected, did you stop beating your wife. Please restrict your answer to "Yes" or "No" only.
That question presupposes something to have been proven, namely that I beat my wife. Now you're resorting to informal fallacies? How does that strengthen your argument?

So, did gravity change? no, but the way we humans understood it did once we had more information to figure it out. Our local measurements and experiments worked fine (and we still use the "old" math for calculations that are purely local in nature since they work).
Next question?
So the laws of science don't change and they're also not made of matter. Yet I'm guessing you believe that all that exists is ever-changing matter (i.e constantly evolving things). Doesn't the fact that the laws of science are immaterial and unchanging contradict your worldview? And doesn't that contradiction (remember the law of the excluded middle) mean your worldview is false?

I hope Perry finds his way to this thread and you two can laugh at how closed-minded people who disagree with you guys are.
I just hope that you and Perry agree, otherwise you will have to call each other closed-minded.Surely you can see that resorting to ad hominem attacks doesn't strengthen what you're saying. I'm open minded enough to consider whether the naturalist materialistic world view has any validity or not.
I recognise that claiming that all that exists are things is a worldview that doesn't have any sustainability to it as logic and reason need to be applied to the evidence to form a conclusion. And logic and reason aren't things.

But....science knows this.
How does science know this if all that exists is matter?

Things which exist are measurable phenomena.
Show me a pint of logic.
