Atheists Think With Their Gut?

Richard Dawkins, one of the high priests of the atheist belief system (or at least he was until he started poo-pooing the “so called” negative effects of "mild" sexual abuse), has proposed that inanimate, inorganic gases evolved into a living replicating cell. This, even while he says, “I'm sceptical of strongly held beliefs in the absence of evidence.”

He's not alone in making hypocritical statements, all the while being completely oblivious that he's doing so.

This is very typical, virtually ubiquitous behaviour on the part of atheists.

Carl Sagan is said to have replied to someone pushing for an intuitive answer that Sagan wasn't prepared to give, “I prefer not to think with my gut.”

Dawkins says that he stands in awe at the genius of Sagan's “immortal” claim.

Yet Sagan is the man who said, “The universe is all that has ever existed or will ever exist.” Thinking with his gut made Sagan a strong believer in the now discredited and utterly refuted Steady State model of cosmology. Sagan claimed that the universe is all that has ever existed just as though that was something more than wishful thinking, or more precisely, just as though it was something other than drawing a conclusion directly from his gut. 

That doesn't seem like “immortal” thinking to me. 

Sagan's comment is not unlike Dawkins who says, again just as though it's something more than speculation, 'There is life evolving right now on one billion planets.' How does he know that? Well, he says that there are 100 billion planets in our galaxy, give or take, and deftly pulling a handy equation out of a hat he says that the odds of life spontaneously appearing from non life in just so conditions is one billion to one. Ergo, one billion planets with life evolving on them – and that's just in our neighbourhood. So how does Dawkins know those are the odds? How does he know the odds aren't 100 billion to one, or that it's simply impossible for life to arise spontaneously from non life without a Creator's help?

Well, he doesn't.

Richard Dawkins makes this stuff up as he goes. Just like he “dismisses” the concept of Creator God because Dawkins can only conceive of such a Being as manifestly complicated and any complicated Being would have had to evolve from a very simple state. Apparently, not only do inanimate gases evolve, but so do Spiritual Beings.

For atheists to say they don't think with their gut is a mockery of honesty. It's a characteristic that they'd like to project to the world. It's a character trait that they'd dearly love to believe is true about themselves, but it's one that is absolutely and completely false.
