I wanted to share a list with you guys that a poster on this messageboard has developed.

I find it to be extremely indisputable and quite simple to understand. It seems as though many of the theists don't really comprehend any of the atheists arguments, so I think it is time to change that. I think the best approach is to take baby steps and talk about "explanations."

It is a simple fact that religion attempts to explain reality. It is a simple fact that science tries to explain reality. And it is a simple fact that both explanations are in conflict with each other.

I would like to hear some intellectual theists try to take a stab at how science attempts to explain reality, and how and why religion does a better job at it. Answer questions 4 and 5 if you dare.

1) There is a universe.
2) We want to explain it.
3) There are many competing and conflicting explanations.
4) What criterion will we use to prefer one explanation over another?
5) When we have chosen an explanation should we stick with it?
