Half-truths are whole lies. Yes, those celebrities and podcast stars know some history but they were spinning it to make money from the militant atheists listening to them.

Militant atheists are simply the flip-side of militant theists. Both sides are extremists seeking to impose their beliefs upon others.

Atheists are lack of belief! Militant about what they don't believe in! But have no answer for how or why anything happened!

That's what they claim but the fact remains they believe "there is no God". The entire thread is them attacking anyone, including agnostics, who doesn't agree 100% with them.
Most atheists are under-30, white males. Those that are older have "issues".

That anyone who thinks the human body and all the complicated organs that work together, just happened without intelligent design, but just kind of happened! Makes as much sense as a monkey with a type writer ,writing all classic literature by accident.That's what they claim but the fact remains they believe "there is no God". The entire thread is them attacking anyone, including agnostics, who doesn't agree 100% with them.

And you do? Or do you just claim you do?

All flora and fauna have complicated systems. If they didn't they wouldn't exist.
Life began on Earth about 3.7B years ago. Over 3B years later, most dinosaurs were wiped out by the Chicxulub asteroid. It was only one of several mass extinctions in our planet's history. We're overdue for another planet-killer asteroid. Hang on! LOL

What happened before the Big Bang, and what caused the Big Bang?All flora and fauna have complicated systems. If they didn't they wouldn't exist.

Only a Spiritual situation could have caused that! As there was no physical universe!

IDK. Personally, I like the multiverse theory which doesn't rule out a multidimensional theory. Why would whatever created our Universe be limited to just one universe or one plane of existence?
There's no reason a secular American can't get a PhD and become an expert in Hinduism, Buddhist, or indigenous African religions.
I think the best religious scholars are agnostics. Because they don't carry the baggage and litany of assumptions of the militant atheist.
Bart Ehrman seems to call himself an agnostic-atheist probably because he is trying to avoid the certainty and faith it takes to be genuinely and militantly atheist.
Yes it is nonsense to suppose an atheist cannot be a New Testament scholar. It would be my guess (strictly a guess) that the most scholarly work done re the Old Testament is (or has already) been done by non-religious people including atheists.
So your explanation doesn't need any evidence that would convince anyone but you? That's a pretty narrow definition.
I am not an atheist myself, but I think most atheists CAN comprehend. You are as screwed up on the theist/atheist dynamic as some of them are.
This analysis would be improved if you understood implicit atheism. But you can't get your head around it even though you use the same reasoning every single day of your life.
Usually "Agnostic athiest" is another name for implicit atheist. (Although I wouldn't dare to speak on behalf of Ehrman.)
But you wouldn't know that because you don't understand atheism.
This is why you come across as Dunning-Krueger type on this debate. You can't seem to understand implicit atheism and it's fascinating to see your deficit. You don't seem illiterate but you don't ever seem to read or understand how atheism works.
And it's even more sad because you use "implicit atheism" type reasoning in your daily life every minute of the day.
