: You constantly draw the conclusion that there is in fact "a god" without thinking about it.

Come on, don't give me that childish nonsense. What your're really saying is that no thinking person could prove there is a God without first believing it to be true. You're saying that thinking proves that God doesn't exist because God doesn't exist. This is quite obviously begging the question. Do you really think that I would type something that long without thinking about it? Don't come back until you're ready for the big leauges; this is a place for serious intellectuals, not little boys who repeat the half-understood missives of would-be philosophers.

: On Aristotle, exactly what other famous philosophy did he think up? Or is the only reason he is remember today the fact that he had the same views as Christianity, and therefore christianity revered him?

Aristotle is "the master of those who know." His philosophy pervades every area of thought. Ever heard of logic? I guess not judging by you're writing. Aristotle "invented"--so to speak--logic. That's the biggest contribution that comes to mind right now, but I guess its irrelevent today. Why don't you read the man before you criticize him? Yes, he messed up on the solar system, but his other stuff is sound.
