To theists: Why are quotes supposed to impress science-minded atheists?

Of course, you are correct that religious quotes from experts in physical science are a logical fallacy. However, it is not a fallacy when the quote comes from someone who really is an expert or representative of religion.

There are experts on religion that are worth quoting. Joseph Campbell is one of my favorites. Also, some famous people, such as Martin Luther, are quoted to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses that arise from religious thinking. It's also important to give quotes from Marx, Lenin, Hitler, etc. so we know what their views on religion really were.

You worship a false god.

Here are some quotes to prove the claim.

Gödel was a convinced theist. He rejected the notion of others like his friend Albert Einstein that God was impersonal.

Kurt Godel believed firmly in an afterlife, stating: "Of course this supposes that there are many relationships which today's science and received wisdom haven't any inkling of. But I am convinced of this [the afterlife], independently of any theology." It is "possible today to perceive, by pure reasoning" that it "is entirely consistent with known facts." "If the world [Welt] is rationally constructed and has meaning, then there must be such a thing [as an afterlife]."[21]

Kurt Godel worked with Albert Einstein and proved that mathematics the language of science is fundamentally flawed.

He proved that there are some true statements that cannot be proved true mathematically i.e., scientifically, logically. He also proved there is no way to know how many true statements cannot be proved true.

This means that science is an intellectual dead end. Science is incapable of finding all truth.

Here is another quote for you. Stephen Hawking seems to agree with Kurt Godel.

In his paper Godel and the End of Physics.

. But we are not angels, who view the universe from the outside.iNstead, we and our models, are both part of the universe we are describing. Thus a physical theory, is self referencing, like in Goedels theorem.oNe might therefore expect it to be either inconsistent, or imcomplete.tHe theories we have so far, are ~both inconsistent, and imcomplete.

You worship a false god. Science is an intellectual dead end.

You recognized that science is flawed and true statements are unprovable but you still have faith? Now your just a religious fanatic. Good luck with that.

Well you have to think like a Christian. Once you lower your mental capacity to that of a Christian, quoting the bible seems perfectly reasonable as a valid, proof-backed argument.

So we won't expect any more quotes from science books on R&S. In your dreams.
