He talked about intimacy with God, and how there are three reasons for lack thereof.
You left out the other ones:
Not being introduced to the fictional creature at a young enough age or during some period of vulnerability for you to fall for that BS.
Or being intelligent enough to see through the lies and dismiss it as BS.
This does not require pride nor rebellion.
Asking why people don't believe in a god is the wrong question.
It presumes as a starting point that believing in it is the default.
It is like asking why people don't believe in big-foot or Santa.
The question you should ask is why people do believe in a god.
Why do you feel the need to insert your imaginary fiend into almost every topic?
Think about the first one. You think that because in a lab with special equipment and that people work with nanodevices, that science knows there is a bulge so tiny that you'd have to crawl along the ground with a microscope trying to search for this bulge.
No. I'm not saying anyone has measured the bulge over such a tiny area.
Again, I used it as an example to show how your inability to detect something at such a small scale doesn't mean it isn't there.
If you want to see the curve, you need to look at the larger scale.
People are stupid. They can be made to believe any lie because either they want to believe it's true or because they are afraid it's true.
And you are a great example of that.
You want to live in a world where science is all powerful, and can blow millions up with nukes. Where all the myths and legends have been explained away, because you think that religion is the source of all violence (hate to break it to ya, but people have killed each other literally over wearing the wrong color outfit)
You sure do love clinging to fantasies don't you?
Stop trying to invent things about me to try and attack it.
Practice what you preach! You (guys) were the one who insisted we all listen to weather people when they narrowed down the spaghetti to a single option.
Says who?
We were the ones who wanted people to be prepared and safe.
To take precautions so they don't die.
That doesn't require us to say that this one particular path is the only possible path.
You are the one who wanted to act like no one has any idea where it is going and we should just ignore it.
The reason the model looks right, is because they projected it that way, every step of the way.
They project its path, and then update the projection as it moves on.
That shouldn't be surprising.
What you should do is compare the initial predictions of the various models with the observed path. See how each model went.
Then do it again for another time point, and then again for another storm.
Also, with the same input, two calculators can get wildly different answers.
Solve for 86+85+84/3 using this calculator.

Now find an old pocket calculator, the kind teachers use.
The old calculators won't do order of operations, while most computer calculators will. Same model (base 10) same input, but one of these calculators does averages easy (because it doesn't do order of operations), and one requires you total first or use parentheses. Even with the same model and input, if your assumptions are wrong, the answer can still be wrong. Just as with the same same model and input, if you don't understand that dividing decimals or fractions inverts the process, and you're wrong.
Yes, because they internally use different models.
If you want a good one, try one which relies upon implicit multiplication.
e.g. something of the form 1/2x, which can be interpreted as 1/(2*x), or (1/2)*x
Your example is just a case of using a calculator which doesn't allow you to enter multiple things and calculate it at once.
A simple calculator takes your "solve for..."
As actually being ((86+85)+84)/3
It doesn't store what you have typed in.
You get to do a single operation at once.
You take 86+85. This is 171.
You then take this 171 and add 84, to get 255.
You then divide by 3 to get 85.
Other calculators you do it all at once.
i.e. you put in the entire expression and then calculate it.
You can even do this with the calculator in windows.
If you type it all in and hit enter once, you calculate:
86+85+84/3
If instead you type in each number and hit enter from the second number after, you are calculating in steps like the simple one.
The old calculators don't do order of operations, because they allow you to do a single operation at once. Not multiple.
For that, because it is only doing one operation at a time, that is you finding the total before averaging.
That isn't a different model, that is you failing to understand how the calculator works.
Also, base 10 is not the only part of the model.
The order of operations is also part.
If it just does 1 calculation at a time, getting the result after each, or allows you to enter a more complicated expression is also a part of the model of the calculator.
