Welke positie over het bestaan van god(en) onderschrijft u?
Bekende atheïsten Etienne Vermeersch, moraalfilosoof, emeritus hoogleraar aan de Universiteit Gent.
CitaatIt is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thoughts it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies? ~ Richard Dawkins |

Beste Bart,
complimenten over de vernieuwde site. Mooi overzichtelijk en zinnige artikelen. Ook je optreden in het debat tussen Herman en Gert was prima. Als je niet alle 'openbaringen' kan opvolgen, wie bepaalt dan welke wel? Dan is toch de mens weer aan zet.
Groet, Fred
