I said to you, "without someone else introducing it, I can't deny it." I didn't say I denied it. I might, but nowhere have I ever posted anywhere that I "deny God" (whatever that means). My point was that the difference between apes and people is not measurable in concrete terms and attempts to distinguish us from other creatures use two logically weak approaches (which I criticize). a) expressing it as a personal belief b) using a theological ploy (e.g., we were created in God's image) That is all. Greg McRitchie used item b. I was saying WITHOUT using either of those weak philosophical approaches (read: unprovable) , there was not one iota of difference between us and other creatures. You're reading way too much into this, IMO. You'll never offend me with talk of God, because it is all pretty much unvarnished personal opinion to me. You may be right, but you will never be able to prove it. So, I remain agnostic. That is definitely not the same as being an atheist. I could introduce you to some real atheists if you'd like to compare our approaches. I assure you, they are different.
