In 1, you are conflating 'physical' with 'actions' thus a fallacy of equivocation.
Re 9, I can imagine humanlike aliens in a planet 100 light years away from Earth.
The above bolded elements are all empirically possible.
Therefore it is empirically possible that they exist empirically and can their existence can be confirmed when verified and justified with the necessary empirical evidences.
To claim God as real is like claiming a square-circle exists which is a contradiction to start with. As such, God is not empirically possible, so God's existence is an impossibility in reality, note;

Point is the belief in a God is fundamentally a soteriological issue driven to seek consonance by the inherent terrible psychology of an existential crisis.
Once the consonance is grasped tightly, theists will resort to all sorts of acts [even kill those who threaten it] to secure that consonance.
Because the majority are infected with this, it is taken as fact, like what the majority of the Flat-Earthers did once upon a time.
Can you counter this point?

Re: Atheistic reasoning
Some of that may be true of some who claim to be atheists (an ideology much like all other religions). It is not true of those who do not believe in any kind of supernaturalism or mysticism, because they are no more atheists then they are a-tooth-fairists and do not count what they don't believe as an ideology. The thousands of gods people have chosen to believe in are just some of the wrong things people believe and those who don't couldn't care less what the mass of gullible idiots in the world will swallow and believe.Jori wrote: ↑Sun Feb 06, 2022 3:01 am 1.

Believe in atrology, spiritualism, Ala, or any other supernatural nonsens you like. Who cares, so long as you do not use your belief as an excuse to intrude in anyone else's life.

Atheist ignore the mysteries in life and accept the theory that everything is explainable if we just wait a few years (centuries?).

Re: Atheistic reasoning
I don't think so. It's the religious who think they have all the answers in their simple faith that their deity or religion explains everything. The non-religious know there is no one single explanation (a God, for example) for everything and that no matter how much they have discovered and learned there is always more to learn then they have already learned.jayjacobus wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 1:25 pm Atheist ignore the mysteries in life and accept the theory that everything is explainable if we just wait a few years (centuries?).
My favorite description of faith:
Faith is an agreement with oneself to never learn anything new.

As a person has experiences and learns new things, his orientation can change.
You can say that it is fixed but that is only your own orientation that is so.

Re: Atheistic reasoning
Well, you are free to make up any definition you like for any word you like, but your description of faith is not what any other religious person I know means by faith and it is not how it is defined in any dictionary. Most people's, "orientation to life," (whatever that means) is not the same as, "faith," at all, no matter how ignorant and gullible they are.jayjacobus wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 4:52 pm Faith is a person's orientation to life, other people and the world..

And faith impedes change and new experience, since it already has all the answers.
